swizzle sticks from Jamaica?

[paranoid123]

Where could I send a friend, who is going to Jamaica, to find me swizzle sticks? The natural wood kind, not the plastic stirrers. Having never been to the island myself, I don't know anything about the layout or what kind of stores you can find there. Has any members been there and successfully found these items? What kind of store or location was it?

Thanks!

You probably aren't going to find them in a swizzle stick store since most of the swizzle stick stores closed after Margaritaville opened and started giving away those cute plastic stirrers.

I'd head to a rum shop, but then I my first stop on any Caribbean island is a rum shop. Some islands like Barbados and St Lucia have rum shops directly across from the airport. The further you are from an urban center the more likely that you'll find some of the elusive swizzle sticks that you're looking for.
