AIBU to ask you what you would ask from the States?

[Newforestdonkey]

My husband is off to NY for work for 4 weeks, and I thought that the least he could do was to bring back some things for me and the children (young) but I don’t know what! Please tell me what you’d like to get!
(The children have enough clothes, I really don’t think I should tell him to get those…though I really like Carter’s)

Thank you!

Interesting about Advil. A friend in the UK always asks for them, swears they work better than generic ibuprofen (which I use). Perhaps there's something in the Advil formulation that suits some users better?

The only active ingredient in Advil is ibuprofen. Your friend in the UK is experiencing a form of the placebo effect.

Save money. But the generic. By law, it has to be pharmacologically equivalent.

Huge bags of Cheetos ...like cheesy nik naks and not the wotsit puffed variety . Sublime

I always ask for seasonings and condiments.

There's a sock store in Penn Station that I do not miss when I am there. I probably wouldn't ask him to go to Penn Station just for socks, but if he's near there he could stop in.

Can i ask where you ladies order melatonin online? They are so expensive on prescription 70 fee for the doctor then 50 a month.. I got some from mainland europe but they only do 1.9mg

Ooh...personally I'd pick up some melatonin gummies (so good for those nights you are struggling to get to sleep), some goodies from Bath & Body Works because I love their fragrances, some Ghirardelli dark sea salt chocolate cashews, some crunchy Cheetos (not the kind you get here that are like Wotsits, the ones that look more like Cheetos) and some random bits like food seasonings you can't get over here.

@geologyrocks, I get melatonin from Biovea. There are several different strengths and formulations to choose from.

Thanks for that, theres a refer a friend for 20 each if you want to refer me im going to order this evening

You can buy them in Wilko www.wilko.com/en-uk/cheetos-crunchy-cheese-30g/p/0413595

Only small bays but you get 3 for £1

It took me forever to compile a list to give him but I am there now!! Thank you all!!

Glad you have your list @Newforestdonkey! It has been a good thread to read, I am compiling my own list for our trip next year!

You can't tell us that you've complied a list and then not share it!! We might need to adjust it!

And I'm sure that the Wilko Cheeto's won't be the same. The US allow a stunning array of colours and additives to be used in their food that we don't allow here. The American ones have an almost neon appearance, and a 'contains artificial color' type disclaimer on the front. No shit Sherlock, they dye everything that they touch!

Husband is back. I’m very excited, but not because the husband is back…🤣🤣

Ah, also a good housekeeping magazine and a couple of toys for the children!

Anything from Trader Joe’s 😆

Your husband is adorable. Love the Ghirardelli!

@Newforestdonkey I just saw your update now 😮 what a haul!!! How did he fit all that in his luggage?!

And where is the cosmetics haul 😳

Have you tried any of the goodies yet?

Bags of Jolly Ranchers!!! They are so expensive here.

No products for me! I decided that I didn’t trust him enough to choose and I would be disappointed.

His company paid for a business flight so there were lots of kg to fill :)))))

Using Slap yo mama tonight with a stir fry, and I’m stupidly excited!!

I’ve tried the ghirardelli and they were really good! I wasn’t into the minty Oreos but the children loved them and I know that he got the lemon ones for himself.

I’m almost tempted to be wanting a fever to check out the medicines, especially the night ones!! 🤣

blimey, did your DH have time to do any work

Enjoy!
