[MXFX]

pa share naman ng mga ideas ng magandang iuwi galing sa u.s. bukod sa mga usual chocolates, snacks, etc. sa mga bata, teenagers, at mag asawa...

thanks in advanced.

quality items that are comparatively cheaper sa tate than sa pinas like;

video devices:

kids: gameboy/psp
teenagers: ipod/ps2/gamecube/xbox/
mag-asawa: dvd player/component

or sports equipment:

kids: rubber shoes
teenagers: outfit/basket ball/volleyball/rubber shoes
mag-asawa: badminton/tennis racket

or health supplements (multivitamins * costco for about $10+/- per bottle) which cost mga 5 to 10 more sa pinas.. (this is a big hit among my kamag-anaks esp the 400 i.u. vitamin E & fish oil w/c is at least 10x more expensive sa pinas)

or quality branded clothing * ross/marshall's (suki dito si misis eh ), pwede din towels, boxer shorts, sando, briefs or panties...

i used to bring lots of chocolates and other heavy stuff kaya lang konti lang mailagay mo sa box (2 boxes per person at 70lbs each sa PAL) so i opted to bring home a variation of the above items (i.e. relatively lighter) nung mga huli kong uwi.. pero kung meron handy man sa pagbibigyan mo, swak na swak ung mga tools kasi napakamahal nun sa pinas (mabigat nga lang kaya ako pina door to door ko na lng mga un)

hope these adds to your options.. kelan uwi nyo? advance happy & safe trip...

salamat ha. baka next week yung trip, as usual, madalian. napaalala mo yung supplies (supplements, toothpaste, etc), sa weekend siguro kami kukuha. nakuha ko na yung shoes ng mga bata. nagbigay na kami ng gameboy at dvd player last time. hirap nga yung 70lb limit, pero up to 6 boxes kami this time. sinusulit lang yung dadalhin sa apat na pamilya at maraming kamag anak.

walang anuman..

hehehe buti ka pa, 4 na pamilya lang plus the kamag-anaks, kami eh siyam (9) na pamilya plus the kamag-anaks everytime umuuwi, kaya nga best friend ni misis ang costco, ross & marshalls.. sabi kasi ng tatay ko ay hindi pa daw uso ang "trust" noong araw eh

I'd just give them money and let them buy what they want like the way my wife did when she visited last year. The Philippines isn't behind at all (and may well be more advanced with certain items) when it comes to gadgets, clothing, and shoes. Some items like R/C or scale model kits, airbrushes/compressors might make good pasalubongs. But, it's specific to a certain type of person (like myself ).

When my wife and daughter went last year, They each had 1 suitcase of clothes checked in. When they came back, my daughter had 2 while my wife had 3 (plus my mother-in-law's 2 suitcases). Baliktad pa nga..... That's not counting 1 further suitcase full of nothing but tuyo and daeng (her pasalubong for Pinay friends here).

uy... para sa amin ba yan? thanks! :kick:

though you could just shop at Duty Free Philippines to save you the hassle of trying to all those pasalubongs pass tighter airport security.

anyways, what you can buy there abroad is just the same here in the Philippines.

Electronic gadgets,- mura dyan, lalo na kung may sale at offer ng rebate:
> digicam, videocam, bose speakers - on the high side.
> puwede ring mp3 player(not ipod but branded like creative), frs (bawal yata rito dahil sa operating freq), wireless telephone with answering machine and caller id (medyo mura lang dyan kaso 110V)... isip pa ko....

Let's compare.........

A PSP here is $200. A Nintendo DS was $130 last year (not including sales tax)... How much would those two be if I bought them in the Philippines? Also, would the US versions of those two be able to play games bought over there?

[KG21]

basketball jerseys, nba, college, throw back jerseys

[nemo's friend]

non-prescription medicines/vitamins po ... nyquil, centrum, tylenol etc, anti-dizziness meds (mahal yan dito)

[MXFX]

dapat ata gift list para sa tsikoteers ang topic ko ha. sige, cancel na lang ang trip.

cardo, san mo nakita bawal din electronics/laptop ngayon? liquids keyfobs lang nakita ko sa tsa.gov. hirap na naman yan, may bata pa akong kasama.

salamat sa mga ideas. yung cash, last option o pandagdag na lang namin sa padala, siyempre iba rin yung may dala lalo na sa bata...o matanda din.

maglalagay ako ng klasse aio, sg, tapos fk1 polish sa bote, kaso baka makaabala sa security.

[MXFX]

ps. may correction na yung electronics sa cabin, u.s. pwede magdala. britain ata hindi. whew.

hindi ko namiss yung flight na sira ang audio video ng flight tapos bawal electronics. the longest 15hours of my life! dami pang batang nagiiyakan.

my utol and my hipag gave us fresh cherries..........binili daw nila on the way to the airport, nagustuhan ni esmi more than the chocolates and coffee

[cardo]

Halos pareho lang ang presyo... Kailangan pang pa-modify para ma-play ang mga discs dito....

----------------------------------

Good suggestion from nemo's friend,- vitamins mura dyan! Bengay rin for the oldies... hit din yan!

[cardo]

um, car audio? speakers are so expensive here... and there are headunits not available in PH.... bulky lang
