Other idea's needed

What items would you like to be able to purchase to take back home as a remembrance of your Jamaica trip? I have absolutely no interest in a Mr. Bird, Mr. Turtle or Mr. Lizard carving. I usually bring back High Mountain coffee and island seasonings but I'd also like to help the smaller vendors but have no interest in the trinkets most of them sell. On the plane ride home I often see folks (who I always suspect have stayed at an AI) wearing bizarre hats that will be next pulled out of the closet during the estate sale. How about some useful items that will remind one of Jamaica? The Bobo brooms for example. Hand packaged callaloo seeds. I purchased a nutmeg seed while up in Santa Cruz and I'll think of the farmers market every time I grate some. Any other idea's?
James I often thought that a ferry to get from one part of the island to another is a wonderful idea but sex segregated spa's leaves me cold. On the other hand, electric golf carts might be a great idea. Time to put our "reasoning" hats on.
