The return list needs to keep pace with the times. For example, in the previous list, there are wireless routers, USB flash drives, memory cards, digital photo frames, thinkpad notebooks, ipod shuffle and so on. And there is no need to bring these things to China now. Because you can't make a good deal in a short time. The price is not very suitable. You can buy these things if you live for a long time.
1. Costco's Elizabeth Ya Dun cosmetics, made in the United States. At present, there are only three kinds: time capsules, visible differences, and one that forgets its name. These products can be bought in China, but the price is sky-high. In costco, it is the price of Chinese cabbage. Other cosmetics are available in Sears, Bay and London pharmacies, so you should always pay attention.
2. Costco 3m scotch lint roller. Wool roller, made in Mexico, is suitable for white-collar workers who wear formal clothes to work and people who have cats and dogs at home. There is nothing so useful in China. Occasionally I can buy the same product from Taobao, and the price is three or four times that here.
3.costco's chocolate (produced in Europe and Canada) and nuts (produced in the United States, including almonds, walnuts, hazelnuts, pistachios, cashews, etc. ), dried fruits (from Thailand and the Philippines), biscuits (from Belgium and Denmark). You can buy it from Taobao in China, but you are prepared to pay twice or twice the price.
4.dect6.0 cordless telephone. Made in China. In the domestic market, perhaps due to official restrictions, you can't buy dect6.0 cordless phones in shopping malls, but you can only buy 2.4g The former is many times stronger than the latter in terms of communication distance, anti-interference ability and confidentiality. In China, you can buy dect6.0 from Taobao, but you need to pay three or four times more. Please start to pay attention to the special price three months before returning to China. Dell.ca, staples, FS and BB may all have good deals. Be careful not to buy one with message function. There is no habit of leaving messages in China, and the answering machine may not be completely compatible with the domestic system. Under the general living conditions in China, two handles are enough, but generally three handles are not needed. Don't forget the transformer.
5. brand-name sportswear and sports shoes. Pay attention to the area where you return to China. In first-tier cities, people basically know all the major international brands. Second, third and below cities, preferably limited to Nike and Adidas. In Edmonton, you should pay attention to the special price one year before returning home. For example, jackets, every March, have many styles, many specials and hard discounts. Love city is suitable for buying this kind of thing. Generally speaking, Sears Outlets (in Mill Wooltown Central Shopping Mall) is very cheap, but there are few styles. Sport mart is very cheap, with many styles and special prices. Sportchek has many styles and often has special prices. Winners are suitable for formal shopping, Nike outlets, Adidas outlets, more expensive, not much better. This product is usually made in China and has the best quality. However, residents below the county level in China will ask, why do you bring products made in China to China? Then you must buy something made in Vietnam and Bangladesh and bring it to Indonesia.
6. Costco sells cotton knitwear, including T-shirts and men's underwear. Kirkland brand is good and cheap. Other big brands of pure cotton sports socks have always been popular gifts.
7.kitchenaid brand flat-bottomed aluminum non-stick pan, 30% off Canadian tires, 65,438+05 cauldron and 65,438+02 small cauldron. There are no similar products in China. The price of products much worse than him is two or three times that of him. Made in China, but not in China. Battery-driven can openers are not seen in China (of course, there are not many people who eat cans in China).
8.zippo lighters are sold in stalls in large shopping malls. Compared with the domestic style, it is cheaper. Men's favorite.
9. Big brands of educational toys, such as Lego, are much cheaper in Canada than in China. Don't buy games for domestic children, but you can find some second-hand story books here, not too old, with words and pictures, and bring them to domestic children. Parents will be very happy: learning English well will not let children "lose at the starting line". In addition, we recommend leapfrog products. Please visit the website and youtube for details.
10. There are no American ginseng and Korean ginseng health products in Costco. You should go to Wal-Mart and London Medicine to find them. I always bring bottled ginseng health care products instead of unprocessed American ginseng. This will make it easy to control the dosage and avoid problems. It is said that there are some ginseng farms in bc province, which can be mailed directly. I just haven't done it. Please check Google for details.

12.costco's children's health products, including vitamins and minerals, bear candy is very popular, but it is too heavy, so you can buy Bayer's fruit-flavored chewable tablets. The other is the so-called fish oil for children. Although there is no fish oil written on it, the one with a fish painted on it is also very popular among domestic parents.
13. Children's clothes and shoes are comparable to domestic prices, but the quality is much better. You can also find some famous brands. But it is not conducive to the cultivation of simple living habits of domestic children. Especially baby clothes, you can buy many made in Canada.

15. Domestic friends who use English everyday can buy them some original American reference books. For example, official document writing formats such as secretaries, such as synonyms dictionaries for English teachers and translators, are all very good auxiliary tools. Of course, it's best to call in advance and ask them what they really need.
16. Very easy to use disposable ballpoint pen. Papermate and bic have two or three kinds of products, which are produced in India or Mexico. The writing style is extremely smooth, which is worth using for domestic students and people who usually write a lot.

20. Super Fridge Magnet sold by Staples. Made in China. There are many similar products in China, but the magnetic force is far from enough to fix large paper. On the other hand, Staples can stick to a small calendar. The one who sells paper clips.
2 1. Small ice shovel for automobile. China (North) students reported that they used it frequently in the last two years. It used to be made in America, and the quality is very good. Now it's made in China, but it's several times more than similar products in China.
22. cheap reading glasses. Dollarama sells cheap reading glasses, one yuan each. From 100 degrees to 325 degrees. Buy more pairs for the elderly, within reach. Although it is made in China, you can't buy such a good one for 7 yuan in China.

25. Floss. There is a kind of dental floss called crest glide extra comfort. Very easy to use, suitable for domestic relatives and friends to replace toothpicks. There is also a desensitizing toothpaste, sensodyne, which is better than similar products in China and the price is not expensive.
26. Products for the treatment of heel crack in the elderly. Costco has a lot of large packages that people can't use up, which is a bit wasteful. You can go to Wal-Mart or something and find some small packages. In addition, good hand cream is also welcomed by domestic people.

35. Philips' electric shaver. Compared with domestic Taobao, it does not have a price advantage. But for the elderly, body shape is a gift.
36. winger Swiss army knife. Made in Switzerland. Swiss army knives are basically victorinox brands in China. Wenger is rare in China and takes the high-end route. Personally, I think W is more exquisite than V, which is classy in China.
37. The password padlocks used by Canadians are not found in China. At least it's fun for domestic students.

40. All kinds of games (not video games), especially education and fitness. Such as operation, kinking, and various board games. Many of them are not available in China.

48. Some seasonings and sauces are relatively rare in China. You need to choose according to the tastes of yourself and your family.
In view of the lax customs clearance in China, I will consider bringing some seasonal fruits to honor my mother when I return to China next time. Such as costco's orange cherry Laiyang pear. If you get caught, let fate take its course. If I can bring it in smoothly, I will boil it in boiling water for an hour and then throw it away to ensure that it will not threaten the ecosystem of our country.
There are many, many more, and it is not easy to give examples here. Think for yourself, tools (such as convenient and practical combination screwdriver with good quality), sporting goods (such as football, racket, plastic badminton, etc. ), women's products (such as coach bags sold by American outlets) and professional equipment of travelers are purchased according to the specific needs of themselves and their friends.
