nothing compares to CC New Orleans blend though IMO.

My wife got several hooked on Community K-cups too... No idea if it's N.O. blend though.

Bring them some jeans. Last time I went, a client had me bring him 10 pair of Levis. Said they are ten times the price they are here

Everything is expensive there... A case of Coca-Cola costs $25. Then again, their minimum wage is like $16 an hour.

corruption
urine balloon
weird accent
bama complex
roll of duct tape (wrap it around their tires so they can simulate the 'thump' of I-10)

seriousness aside ...

mardi gras beads
lsu flag (they can order one online, but so what? - you're a real, live lsu fan ... get miles to autograph it)
combo tshirt/glass/mix from a famous NO bar ... take your pick ... Pat O's, maybe ...
package of hot sauces
scholly offer for a punter ... seriously ...

Just don't get on any Oceanic flights to LA. I heard those go down all the time and you might end up stranded on some island

Absolutely

I'd also substitute the LSU flag with a Saints flag.

A 24 pack of coke 375ml cans are on special 2 for $33 at the moment. minimum wage is $15.96 aud, so about $14 us dollars.

Booze is expensive here, anything like electronics/Booze/clothing/brand items and seasoning stuff we can't get here cheap would be good.
