I know that you have been fretting about what to get me as a souvenir from Cuba (or from the Navy in general). Luckily, I have been fretting about this also and I now have the answer to your problem.
A chair. Not just any chair, a Navy chair. While at the less than local Burger King (a year ago, and besides, I didn't inhale), I noted a very striking aluminum chair. I have been looking around for something similar and believe I found not a duplicate but even better, the inspiration for the BK chair. It is an Emeco aluminum chair, Navy version (really, not making this stuff up). They utilize a 77 step process, a WWII design and they're made in Hanover PA.
I looked on ebay where they are scarce and costly, and new where they are way costly so I'm afraid you'll have to check around the base/ships/subs/officer homes/thrift shops/whatever. Feel free to pick up the matching child's chair and stool if it is convenient.
