I tried in general to link to the exact product I brought. If it couldn’t find it or it was no longer available, I linked the closest thing. I bought most things on amazon (free 2-day shipping!) I tried to offer an amazon link where possible because it should re-direct you to whatever is available if your home country (if I set up the program properly – FYI, you may have to turn off your ad blocker to ensure it redirects to your native store. *sigh*) so you don’t have to go hunting for alternates that are available to you if the original manufacturer doesn’t ship to your country. Also, if you are like me and are doing some last-minute shopping and can’t wait 2 weeks for your stuff, amazon can be a life-saver with 2-day shipping. (You can sign up for a Prime free trial if you want the 2-day shipping).

I do recommend comparison shopping, as certain products can be weirdly marked up in some countries. These are affiliate links as well (helps offset the costs of the domain/hosting). Where possible, I also link the original manufacturer. The promise I will make to you is that I did not link anything crappier or anything I wouldn’t buy just because it’s got an amazon option. These are all products I would legitimately recommend if a loved one I knew was doing this trip.
