Just a general suggestion for those planning to travel or looking for some cool stuff to buy before Christmas and (wanting to) help and give local people. An idea you can get https://www.geekwrapped.com/cool-stuff-and-cool-things-to-buy-online to buy as much stuff in order to give it away as it is cheap.

I've bought at least 20 things online, some tech and house stuff and looking for further suggestions. In fact, I've gotten several items that didn't look like they'd ever been purchased, for cheaper than private sellers. I guess buying from them is at your own risk, but I've had nothing but great results.
