What Russian chocolate or gifts do hotel staff in Sharm el-Sheikh actually want?

You can bring Alyonka, but as an extra on top of tips, not instead of them: in summer 2026 travelers in Sharm el-Sheikh reported reception staff and porters asking for this chocolate, while others said staff mainly want US dollars.
