I have no idea what I should bring home to everyone. I hate getting things that just sit on a shelf so I was thinking Polish specialty items, like chocolates or other goodies. Does anyone have any ideas?

I like to bring spice mixes and kitchen utensils for making local foods...but I'm a bit of a dork like that.

Lots and lots of Amber, and some of the great wood carvings. These are a few of the things I bring back, and all love them. Mike

Luckily there was a thread about them. I don't think I could pull off bringing that through customs, let alone getting on the plane. lol good one.
