He works on the beach each day. What things can we get in the US, that is hard to get in Jamaica or special to Jamaicans? Not big into sports or cars. Works hard and into family.Quote:

I would buy him something small that represents you and/or where you're from...and...quite frankly, most people just want to pay their bills, so cash is always a big hit...or give him enough money to take a day off and take him out somewhere he might enjoy...Quote:
