I've been inspired by all the lovely hampers on here and would like to make a Caribbean themed one for my husband (he's half Jamaican/half Trinidadian).

I need some ideas for cheap and cheerful stuff to fill it with please!
So far I'm thinking of -
Pirates of the Caribbean DVD (cheating I know!)
A couple of bottles of hot sauces
Jamaican ginger cake
Caribbean limes sweets

And now I'm stuck, anyone have any ideas?

    Morrison's sells Jamaican food in their international isle. The drinks Ting, and Dragon beer spring to mind, but they have food as well.

    We had a Caribbean party in August. We went to St Lucia on holiday, and I wanted to recreate it! I found an ethnic food shop near us, but there are places that sell online. You can buy Jerk Seasoning dried or in a jar, that you use for Jerk Chicken, Gorgeous! How about a Carribean CD of steel band music? I got some from HMV on;ine, they were only £2.99 each!
    I Believe in saving money!!!:T

    i noticed in woolies the other day, with Pirates of the Caribbean II out, some pirate-y stuff, might be worth having a rummage there?

    This is a company local to me, they have stalls at all the markets at this time of year and their stuff is great. Their hot papaya chutney is amazing!!
