chocolate? And diamonds? Rolex watch might be appreciated

Me i'm good with a beer coaster from a fancy place. Maybe a wine stopper. And the ubiquitous fridge magnet

I didn't realize heterosexual gifts were a category. Are there outlet malls for that? Black Friday sales? (Winky emoji here if they were still allowed!)

Kidding aside, if you are checking bags what about the good 'ol Swiss Army Knife?

We generally bring back chocolate for everyone, unless we see something quirky that would appeal to a particular person. After attending a village gathering where one gentleman played actual music on a cow’s horn (not just a single tone like a shofar), we sought one out for a musician friend. It looked like this:

I think the attached mouthpiece and a couple of finger holes makes it possible to produce the different. Our musician friend was intrigued but I don’t know if he actually managed to make music with it.

You can find YouTubes of the music, although the cowhorn is generally designated as Swedish, not Swiss.

We’ve brought back Swiss Army knives, bottle openers, t-shirts, and chocolate for our male family members.
