Back to the USA! What are some 'must buys' here for those living in Asia?
Hey fellas! What are some interesting life enhancing products that you would recommend purchasing while in the US / Canada, before leaving?

For example, a friend of mine purchased the larger Google Home device, because it's not available in his home country. Another friend purchased the new Amazon Kindle Paperwhite.

I figured some supplements could be good, since iHerb limits orders to under $100, especially nootropics that can't be readily shipped. For sports therapy I heard the Theragun is a pretty good one too.

Would love to hear any other suggestions Smile

I’d say an AR-15 is a must have.

God damned them all, I was told we'd cruise the seas for American gold, we'd fire no guns-shed no tears, now I'm a broken man on a Halifax pier, the last of Barrett's privateers!

I am from Europe and do not live in Asia, but here in Colombia I am struggling to get a decent electric toothbrush (looking for Sonic care).
Also some things that you can find in any pharmacy in Europe like Jojoba oil don't seem to be common here at all.

Oh and clothes. Colombian male fashion is pretty weak, or at least doesn't match my style, so looking forward to take a short trip to Miami to do some shopping. I bought some online but I end up paying $55 in customs fees + $30 for the shipping.

So my top three to take when visiting a less developed country is electric appliances, skincare items and clothes.

Interesting, does Amazon not ship to Colombia? What about iherb for the oil stuff?

One item I might pick up is a Muse headband. Seems interesting for meditiation. Someone also suggested one of those portable 2nd monitors.

CBD oil would also be amazing to try... wouldn't want to risk bringing it outside though haha

Got a whole extra luggage I can carry back.

Keep the ideas coming!

- Western sized Condoms
- Electronics
- Equipment for any sports or hobbies that are not common in that country
- Branded clothing
- Books
- Any toiletries that you care about the brand
- Anything that you'd simply order on Amazon or ebay but would be hard for you to find in a shop at home will be even harder to find in a shop somewhere unfamiliar and there's no Amazon or eBay
