Gran Canaria Treasures and Trinkets

Given it’s tuesday now. I don’t want to have the same sort of present request failings that I had in Cyprus :) So, any particular presents required from Gran Canaria. Leave your comments now!

Examples of presents seen so far include phallic wax candles. Or a vast array of alcohol – the supermarkets here lure you in the same way the UK ones do with fruit – right at the entrance. Or perhaps a scary looking cuddly camel – it may well be made of real dead camel.

Gran Canaria tea towels, perhaps? A mug? Or a camel hat that matches my “Look at me, I’m a tourist!” hat I bought yesterday? I’ve even heard rumours of a holographic Virgin Mary from our scottish friends in the apartment over at number 30.

So, if you do want anything cool – leave me a comment here. If you want the surprise of some total tat – then wait until I get home. No guarantees though – I might have trouble find just the right tea towel for you. But you might as well ask :)

    Aparently, you should be looking for Giant PEZ dispensors…..or at least so I have been told, and in particular (hard cash has even been offered) Snoopy ones – I will however accept any Giant PEZ, and any general tat – have to seen any Straw Donkeys yet ?

    Booze is always good, but I wouldn’t really know what there is !

    Apparently Holograms aren’t really requested….not sure why….
