Shopping before I leave

Posted on Dec 6, 2008

So, what to buy before I leave the US……this is a list that falls broadly into 3 categories:

Electronics, Gadgets and Toys
Clothes
Stuff I don’t really need but that is much cheaper here

OK, so most of the Electronics and toys fall into category 3, but given my buying history and my gadgetry related obsession they get a separate category in my head. Suggestions, ridicule and general wish fulfillment is accepted – what would you buy?

I’ve already got some things in mind:

Golf Clubs (I don’t play a lot but they are soooo much cheaper in the US)
Drobo (just plain cool – in a very geeky way – what drives to buy is an open question)
Suit/Tuxedo (again just a lot cheaper this side of the pond)
Warm Coat (Ireland is effing cold)
Russian Bride (do they want into the EU too – should I wait for the cheaper “shipping”?)

Last thing: big thanks to everyone that commented on facebook and this blog wishing Jenny and I the best and/or wishing we could stay – it’s appreciated and we are sad to be going, but looking on the bright side we get to see our families and old friends again, so it is not all doom and gloom
