Things my family buy when at home include- Club Orange, biscuits- kimberly, mikado and coconut cream ( can hear the jingle in my head as l type) and others, 'irish' type sweets- chocolate bars and so on, if you find out where he is from, his local newspaper- ie Kerryman etc, maybe his counties GAA jersey, whiskey marmalade ( horrid stuff), tea bags, curly wurlys and so on. Am sure there are lots more ideas out there, that's just the stuff my own family seem to be keen on.
