Gifts

Gifts

Instead of tipping, bring lots of stuff to give to staff!. Below we provide a list of suggestions:

Memory sticks - as more Cubans get computer access

Kids tooth brushes - fun stuff like Superman or Sponge Bob

Hair scrunchies

Feminine hygiene products

Tooth paste, mouthwash, floss

Deodorant, antiperspirants

Vitamins - both adult and for kids

Soap, shampoo, conditioner - bring small bottles you can give away, but also bring larger bottles you’ll use while you’re there, then leave it all behind

Reading glasses, sunglasses

Toys for kids - crayons, colouring books, yo-yos, anything really!

Flip flops or Crocs — bring some shoes you’ll use while you’re down there, but leave them behind when you go

Gardening/utility gloves

School supplies – pens, pencils, paper pads, etc.

These seems like everyday little items to us, but to most of the locals in Cuba, these are highly desired items. Also, think of it; it is really nothing for us to spend 50 to 100 USD, EUR etc. buying things to bring to Cuba, but it can mean the world to hard-working Cubans, who simply do not have access to the things we take for granted.

You could also consider bringing medical supplies, individually or, for example, through Not Just Tourists (http://njt-pqt.org/english/view.asp?x=1)
