Headed to Tokyo in September and it's customary to bring small gifts specific to your home country to give helpful hotel staff, etc rather than tipping nearby Park Ridge. I'm drawing a blank on something Chicago-y. Any ideas?

Garrett’s popcorn? Little baggies? Is that allowed for travel?

This is on Amazon
There’s a shop in Edgebrook called Local Goods Chicago. They have tons of Chicago items.
Amazon also has Chicago pens in bulk
I went for a week long trip ten years ago. I brought a case of Chicago Cubs chocolate bars from Fannie Mae. Each of my Japanese colleagues went crazy for them.
John Weidner yeah, they would refuse cash and it would be seen as really rude. Japanese culture is really interesting.
I go there a lot. Garrett’s popcorn will do the trick!
My SIL is from Japan and every time they go back they bring Chicago bags from Trader Joe’s. They love reusable bags there and they are super easy to pack.
