I'm travelling to DR over Christmas and I am making a few stops in some smaller cities (Cabrera, San Juan, Cofresi, Puerto Plata). I would like to take some USEFUL gifts to the local people there. I've heard that crayons and school supplies for children are very popular and that soaps, deodorants, lipsticks etc are very popular for adults. Is this TRUE? I'd feel a bit wierd offering someone a stick of deodorant, but I want the gifts to be something very useful. I would really like some ideas from DR'ers if possible. I don't want to offend anyone, but I want to bring something useful.
THanks for the suggestions,
Anj
