What ‘cool’ stuff can I get in the US?

[soupforbrains]

I am travelling to Arizona in a week. (The trip is for work not pleasure I’m fully aware of the current situation and would not otherwise be choosing to go to the US but it is unavoidable I’m not here to discuss the dumpster fire.)

While I am away it is my niece’s birthday. She will be 12. She was unable to come up with things she wanted for her birthday previously so ive now asked if there is anything I can bring her back from the US. I know that particularly with social media a lot of the big trends can involve American brands which are hard or impossible to get over here.

she’s asked for Touchland hand sanitiser which I’m happy to get her but it’s very small. Surely there’s something more are other trending or cool brands/products I can spoil her with?

Does anyone have any suggestions for clothing skincare or beauty products I can also get her?

I usually would spend between £150 and £200 if that helps.

Does she like jewelry? Lots of turquoise items available in Arizona.

I live in the US (oh the horror!) and I'd go with a TJs blue and white tote bag filled with M&Ms and limited edition Oreos, the sanitizer and a hoodie and cap related to Arizona or one of the Arizona colleges.

It does really make me laugh about how many UK teens are wandering around with their basic shopping bags not realizing that every middle aged woman who lives near a TJs is carrying the same thing!

Aritzia hoodies are comfy and all but they are thick and take FOREVER to dry outside of a tumble drier and have a tendency to shrink inside a tumble drier. Which is kind of annoying for a $90 hoody.
