Any suggestions for a gift for a Jamaican?

We are visiting Jamaica next week and are wondering what kind of gift to take for someone there. Are there items in the states that are not available to those in Jamaica? Something unique to take?

I am fortunate to have many Jamaican friends from all my travels. With each visit I do give cash as well as some small gift items. For my female friends I give books, women magazines like Elle, Glamour, Etc., Bath and Body Work items. For the men I give baseball caps, t-shirts, wallets, socks. For their children I do crayons, coloring books, school bags, composition books, toothbrushes and toothpaste.
No matter what you choose to give it will be appreciated.

If you know the person by a phone card and ask them if they want a gift. They should tell you what they want and if you can't do that give them money or a gift you would give an American.
