What is a good host gift for visiting Ireland?

Question

I've read that maple syrup is a good idea. Can this go in a suitcase? We live in maple syrup country!

Answer 1

We do not like maple syrup, it would end up way past its sell by date. It depends on the person that you are getting the gift for. Are they related to you?

Answer 2

It's a great idea. Wrap it wall in newspaper and put it in a plastic bag and tape it.

Answer 3

Something of Cultural Interest of your Hometown, like Drapes of some kind Tableclothes, Canteen of Cutlery with the Towns Crest or a Metal Plate with Crest on it. Perhaps an Item of the Native Peoples, like a Peace Pipe or an Chiefs Headress or an Indian Purse or Mocassins. Do not bring Maple Syrup it isnt done.

Answer 4

Anything, nothing in particular that everyone brings. i wudnt try maple syrup in case it explodes in the suitcase but if its well protected go 4 it.

We (Irish) don't like maple syrup (well generally we don't!!)

Answer 10

I think Maple syrup's a great idea.  Something from the area you're from always goes down well.  Maple syrup on porridge is really good!

Answer 11

That sounds great. Just make sure you wrap it well. You could also make some pancakes to go with it, as an extra special treat.
