NY gift for someone not from the US

Any ideas?

Food and wine isn’t really an option, and I’d like to get this person a little something from NY or the US.

NY gift for someone not from the US

Whenever we visit family in Ireland, we bring NY sport team hats or souvenirs. Yankees are a big hit! We have police and firefighters on both sides so NYPD or NYFD sponsored hats, pins, etc.

Not NY related, but they love when we bring Reese's peanut butter cups and Charleston Chews!

Starbucks has a nice big black & white mug of the NYC skyline with a yellow taxi.

Thank you! This person doesn’t care for sports, but the PB cups might work. The coffee mug is a good idea as this person loves coffee.

I was also thinking of a set of I love NY pjs. That’s if I can even find them.

Keep the ideas coming!

My DH's family is from another country, so the first time my DH came to the U.S. we bought gifts in Times Square. We got his mom a NYC spoon rest, his dad an NYPD shirt, his sister a I heart NYC tote bag. Plus chocolate from the Hershey store. But my DH & his sister's favorite thing was the mug I mentioned from Starbucks...and they love the box of instant coffee packets from Starbucks since they don't sell those at the Starbucks in Turkey :)

ETA: we also got his parents a NY magnet for the fridge :)

Oh they have instant coffee packets at Starbucks? He would love this with the mug.

ETA: He’s not into the NYPD thing, sorry and I hope I don’t offend anyone.

Yes! My DH loves the Italian roast, it's a dark roast. But they have a few different kinds Chat Icon
