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.

Really clear post, appreciate the detail. I’ve been collecting related reads on this and this one fits well: https://plaza.rakuten.co.jp/naruto88daily/diary/202609100019/
