Prince Polo is another perfect gift from Poland.
What should I get for a gift for somebody who's never visited Poland?
No, an elegant T-shirt with Women`s Strike symbols will be much better for a gift:

Women`s Strike
No one abroad will understand it.
Oh, you emphasize understanding.
How about a figurine of JP2???

I once watched a video on youtube how foreigners tried Polish sweets and they liked Prince Polo and Jeżyki the best. Maybe it would be a cool and sweet gift.
You can also recommend a blog that might encourage her to learn Polish!

Prince Polo and Jeżyki
Much the same as cheap and low-quality confectionary everywhere. If people want a sweet present, the chocolate-covered cherries with vodka a nicer and less ordinary.
I would much rather get PrincePolo
the chocolate-covered cherries with vodka
Agree. Maybe it's the British Isles taste buds functioning differently. I quite like those Cherrissimo/Mieszko cherry liqueurs.
PrincePolo
I just find those identical to wafer biscuits anywhere, and lower quality than most other confectionary. There used to be a batonik in Poland that I liked. It was called Mr Ron but I've not seen it in the shops for maybe 20 years.

Those are nice.
BÅ‚eee. Strange flavour.
I really like Kasztanki lol I think they're my favourite :)))

Me also, I think (not as a present though - just to eat it :)). I don't like the taste of those fruit inside sweets (I don't understand why foreigners like them/recommend them). If I want to eat fruit, I just eat it fresh - it tastes much better.
identical to wafer biscuits anywhere,
Me too. Not a great fan of wafery things with a thin coating of 'chocolate like product' :) It could be a nostalgia thing with Polish people. They remember them from childhood and the taste has happy associations.

Iceland for example loves Prince Polo.
I can't remember the brand or what they are called, maybe Edelmans?
But they are a soft centred gooey sweet with a very thin layer of "chocolate like substance" surrounding the little bars.
Poles used to bring them back from Poland and the only people that loved them were the Indians.
I thought they were absolutely disgusting!
By contrast, when I was a kid, dad used to often visit a Polish deli and, amongst other things, brought home Kruwki.Little hard fudge sweets with a red cow on the packet.
We loved them as kids.
But younger Poles have since told us they hated them.

Is ir possible you mean Ptasie Mleczko?

I like Krówki. The trick is to find the ones with hardness/ softness you like
I enjoy those alcohol-filled chocolates "Sliwki",
plum brandy, I believe, already mentioned by feliks
earlier:-)

You may be right, they did have a milk theme about them....But not real milk....urgh!!!!

I did too, but as I said, some of the younger Poles over here hated them
I don't know why.
I used to eat Krówki when I was a kid, but I can't say I'm a fan... My mother likes them though.

Me too, but we have better fudge available now.
I would probably still eat one if offered one, but I would not go to and buy any.

Could be E, Wedel. That company sells Ptasie Mleczko.
I think you are right!
Crap sweets either way......

Wait, are you telling me that Poland invented Bird's Milk? I thought we invented milking birds?

Good. Now I can stop pretending to like it, when speaking to foreigners.

Yes, I'm sure. The image I posted is from the Russian company Rot Front (founded 1826). Poroshenko's company, which is much larger, is called Roshen.
