Help!! what to buy for someone in eygpt.

Try some football themed toiletries for the single guys .... and go to a Halal shop and see what chocolates they sell there for the married guy ... will give him brownie points with wife and kids:D

jamjar,

Mahmoud is definately a muslim name. David Beckham aftershave would probably go down well.

My step dad eats Cadbury choc, has vegatable fat in it, If they are Muslim you need to watch out for pork fat and i think geletine as i think that can be animal fat based (not 100% sure on that), and alcohol can be a big no no, but my step-dad does like malt whiskey i think it depends on how strict they are some drink some don't but you would'nt want to offend so i'd stay away from the alcohol idea

I've just remembered Walks the first time my FIL came over from Egypt all he wanted to do was see London and go to Harrod's, anyway he went and was amazed by the city and loved Harrod's (did'nt get it myself being a country girly), Matbe you could get your boss and family some Harrod's goodies, hope thats some help.

lol thats a loverly idea but i would also love a trip around harrods and love to have some goodies from there, but i am just a poor working girl that has to save loads to go on holiday so realy could not afford to go to harrods plus buy gifts too. if you no what i mean but i will check my lotto ticket now and will let you no if i can afford to go there my self lol thanks again miemie.

Walks you can order online they do tins of biscuits, jams etc with the Harrod's logo on for ar0und £7 - £10, did'nt mean to cause any offence, i can't afford to shop there myself. Have you thought of Marks and spencers they have have some nice foody gifts and they are doing 3 for 2, same sort of thing as boots but no points, hope that helps
