typical shopping list for visitors to Germany

– soaps, scents, etc (from Schleker)
– some small shops maybe in railway stations have these beautiful statues – very artistic and colorful for 2 or 3 euro
– chocolates of all colors from the shop Real
– small cheap electronic gizmos on sale (like USB MP3 players having upto 1 GB storage, hi-tech headphones, DVD players, video recorders, cameras) from MediaMarkt, some other famous electronic shops I dont remember
– nice looking wrist watches for 10 Euro from many places but typically Kaufhof where you would get even Casio or Swatch watches dirt cheap as well.
