Travel / Visiting Poland in May - what should I bring? [28]

Hello everyone! First of all I want to introduce myself. My name is Gonzalo I was born in Mexico but live in Chicago for the last 14yrs. As you might now Chicago has the largest polish population outside of Warsaw! Which is very nice! I consider myself very lucky to be married to a beautiful Polish, sometime people can't believe she's my wife and I get complements all the time. Guys would come up to me and say "she's beutiful, you the man" I'm just glad I'm not the jealous type ; )

Anyway, we are going to Poland in May and since she hasn't been there for 10 yrs, well she can't answer when I ask what item should I bring to Poland. She has a lot of family ther and I would love to bring something special for them.

So, what should I bring? Thanks for any advice!

Thank you all! I knew I would find the answer here.

Well, my family owns a Mex. restaurant in Chicago so cooking for them is an excelent idea, and I'm sure they will enjoy it! The tequila ofcourse can't be forgotten, and my dad is flying back from Mexico on Sat. I'll be sure to ask for some art.

This is great! I didn't even think about cooking for them...

Thank you again and if you have any other sugestions I'm all ears. I been told coffe and gum would be nice too. What coffee? Colombian coffee? Sturbucks? Grain? Or instant?

Mexican art made by the indigenous people

I just talked to my cousin in Mex. he will buy "Talavera" hand made pottery which is very popular from the region I'm from. He's also sending me some small leather hand made suveniers.

I had second toughts about gum too! it would have been akward if out of all things I show up with gum! uh! thanks for the heads up!

HITMAN I know exactly what you are talking about! I'll be sure to get some traditional candy.

SAR you have a PM

Make it interesting...skip the tequila, and bring a bottle of mezcal :)

Yes! I told my cousin about mezcal even thou I can get it here I want the bottle with the tax stamp from Mexico. I wanted to include that in my last post but for some reason it didnt let me edit it. Glad we are on the same page! lol I wonder what they'll say when I tell then they have to eat the worm. = )

Yes! blanket is a good idea too! and it won't use a lot of space in the louge. We sent a 68lb package to Poland with some stuff but nothing like that.

I heard Corona is really expensive in Poland! could someone provide with a link where I can find more info on items I'm allowed to bring? I know some countries don't allow fruits or seeds. If i'm right, the limit for alcohol is 3 1.5lt bottles. Correct?

IOk this is what I have so far:

Cholula hot sauce even though label is in english it is imported from mexico and is milder than Tabasco sauce. I probably take 2 or 3 bottles of 360ml

Lawry's seasoned salt. My personal fave for stakes and poltry its what we use @ the restaurant. Bottle of one Lb.

Don Julio Reposado 750Ml bottle my favorite tequila. One at least

Talavera shot glasses

I asked what the deal is with chewing gum since some say yes some no. Apparently Wriglie's brand is hard to find or expensive. I guess I can bring some, but I'm also looking for some unique gum, like organic or all natural gum.

I'm just getting started I still have long way to go but enough time to obtain more items.

My father arrives Saturday from Mexico I'm sure he's bringing some goodies
