Question

I'm going to Germany, but I'm horiable at shopping, what should I buy???? (excluding alcohol)?

Answer 1

jewlery, or food or you can always get a german languge book

Answer 2

If it wasn't for the pet iguana, robbies' answer should be voted as the best.  There would be problems getting the iguana through customs on the way back.  Substitute a tin of snuff for the iguana.

Answer 3

chocalate! and jewelry

Answer 4

Depends on where you will be staying, what you are into and what you plan to do with it.

Like if you are near the "black forrest" you might want to buy the famous clocks, if in bavaria you might want to get traditional clothing or beer glasses.

If you like rammstein or German metal bands then get special albums, shirts and posters.

For resale get n**i coins, stamps and medals (great bargains at local second hand stores)

Some people like german military stuff (shirts, camouflage and what not) theres a store selling used and new stuff in every large city.

For fun you might like to get a german DVD, they usually have the english original as well as the German language, but in the US they only play back on code free players.

Answer 5

chocolate and an authentic beer mug (you know thw big clunky ones?)

Answer 6

you should buy a pet iguana, a second hand printer, a large trash can, and a roast beef sandwich

Answer 7

Not to mention spelling.  Why you going?  If you don't like shopping, trust one of your travel companions (alone?) to do it for you; it would help them if you can give them some ideas.  Shopping for yourself or someone else? If its for someone else do the unexpected and ask what they might like!

Answer 8

souvenirs, & food. the food is great there.
