Re: Gifts for workers where you stay
For Rob, I bring White Castle Cheeseburgers frozen solid and wrapped extra special for the long trip.
I think back at the best gift ever...
I was in Walmart the day before my trip and they had a great special on Patriots baseball caps from the previous years superbowl victory. They were probably $2 each and I bought two dozen. Took up very little space. This was a late November trip and I handed out the caps to people I knew as Christmas hats. Staff were begging me for extra hats for their kids, uncles etc....
This is a link from the "Old Board". I mention the hat I gave to Ragga Bones at Red Dragon....

7.5LB of old bay seasoning for Bentley(I hear he uses a lot of it :-p), a dozen coloring books/crayons, two giant packs of glow necklaces, 72 moustaches, 36 kazoos, some halloween decorations for hotels/bars, party beads(120 or so), a bunch of packs of novelty sunglasses, and packs of playing cards.
I "might" be able to squeeze some more stuff in there but I'm only bringing one carry-on and a checked bag and I have scuba gear....
The old bay made me laugh.. We have 3 of the really big cans packed and ready to go for our trip at the end of November. I think he may be all set on that front for a while :)

Yea.... I was looking on Amazon one day and I started looking just out of habit for the largest old bay container available and came across the 7.5LB monstrosity.
I figure if he can deliver on great crabcakes and fried chicken(two of my favorite food groups) then the least I could do is show up with a giant thing of old bay seasoning.
1 1/2 hours of work until I'm off for an entire week.
Re: Gifts for workers where you stay

Re: Gifts for workers where you stay
Have a good trip Blake, have fun.
Re: Gifts for workers where you stay
Blake, you are the one that posted the link and directed me to the site to purchase it. When I gave it to him he was thrilled. Thanks man for looking out and allowing me to help the man out in a big way. Just wait till you see and hear his reaction. Good on you man and have a great time.
Re: Gifts for workers where you stay
That is too funny reading about bringing Old Bay seasoning! Is it that hard to find there? Out of curiosity, I just checked on Amazon, and they have a 50lb box of Old Bay for sale, LOL!

Too bad it can't be shipped directly there.
I imagine Mr. Bentley would be well stocked if he got that one. :-)

Took a while, but I found a photo of Ragga Bones with the Christmas Hat I gave him back in 2009.
