i think some people worry about what to get someone they don't know.
i have a few suggestions. mixing it up with a few items means a better chance of something they really like. something old or vintage, something new. if you like it, chances are your recipient, will at least find it useful. we have several members that like beer or cigars. who doesn't like a salty snack, especially if it is something sourced locally and may not be available in a different region.
i know muddy has always enjoyed the snacks and the like we have traded. i think he has liked some better than others but that is part of the fun. i know the pretzels he sent me last were damn good, the beer too!
