I always get several quality pairs of shoes, and various clothing, from the local second had stores, since they cost an arm and a leg there. I bought a small DVD player with several DVD's for the kids and it was a huge hit. Only cost $35 on ebay and they all use it to watch movies. Also for the kids, cars and barbies are a great choice. The barbies I've seen there are outrageous and I got a handful at the goodwill for next to nothing. I also picked up several used phones, such as a blackberry perl or similar that I get for around $30 bucks here in the US. It was another very popular item. I bought one of those battery powered can openers you just put on the top of the can and it then automatically goes around by itself and opens the can. Someone who cooks a lot will really appreciate that. One Touch Automatic Can Opener, One Touch Can Opener, Kitchen Wares, LTK6175
