Never been to Grand Cayman. What are things people like to buy there?

Aside from rum cake, I'm not sure they have anything that you can't get anywhere...

Is Cayman Pepper Jelly different from the pepper jellies you can get elsewhere?

I've met the Pepper Jelly lady and she is adamant about not exporting her product for overseas sales. But I've never sampled the product. Maybe I'm just a wimp, but local peppers can be seriously HOT. We call them Scotch Bonnet peppers, but they are better known as habaneros.

 

 

Another products you could find a good price on include camera equipment. Cayman allows duty free import of such equipment, even for us residents to buy. :D I've bought a couple cameras with pricing competitive to the best internet pricing I could find.
