From Heather Greenwood Davis Travel people are notoriously hard to buy for. What do you get the person who has everything from a shrunken head (purchased in the very village where it was shrunk) to a painted Ostrich egg ( plucked from the dirt next to the Ostrich who laid it)?

These gifts are guaranteed …

It’s simply too much to cope with, so I’ve decided I’m going with her. Surprise Heather! I’ll see you in Winnipeg, our first stop. Kidding. Sort …
