First of all, of course, variety of sweets! What the Americans have not come up with, what gastronomic delights are not on their shelves.

Well, closes the hit parade, Oreo cookies. Every tourist tries to bring this particular cookie home.

Where to buy souvenirs?
“Small souvenirs, which include magnets, figurines, T-shirts, mugs, key rings, postcards and gift chocolates, are sold in America at every turn,” says Igor Yaritsky, an avid traveler and lover of the United States. “Usually, souvenirs are more expensive in the busiest tourist places than in a merchant's shop a few blocks further away. Therefore, do not be lazy and walk a couple of blocks, but you will save a lot, especially if you buy gifts in bulk. I also advise you to go to CVS and Wallgreens pharmacies more often, which sell not only medicines, but also souvenirs and other industrial goods. In America, pharmacies are practically supermarkets, especially if they are located in tourist areas, and the prices are good, especially for souvenirs. By the way, do not forget to bring a T-shirt with the inscription “I love NY” from New York, an Oscar figurine from Los Angeles, and figurines of Mickey Mouse and other Disney characters from Disneyland.”
American sweets and foods
You can’t take away the Aidaho potato cream from the United States, steaks with Philadelphia cheese, Chicago pizza on a thick test, the famous Latin American rice with chicken, languid pork, prepared in an earthen stove, gambo soup from Louisiana, mollusks made of mollusks Clam-chaud, welded in milk or on cream, and cream, and blue brood Bow from the state of Maryland. However, in America there are many delicious products and ready-made meals that you can buy before leaving home to treat friends and loved ones, and even feel nostalgic for American cuisine yourself. Bring in pecans, topped-up peanut butter, chocolate-covered pretzels (the tastiest are from Roy Island), Butterfinger candies with peanut butter filling, agave syrup and maple syrup eaten with pancakes and waffles, and Pumpkin Spice Cherrios, breakfast rings that are made only in the fall and generously flavored with pumpkin spice. - cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves. Another culinary attraction in America is the pecan pie, which is best baked in Alabama, while the cactus candies and jellies that can be seen in Arizona stores are rather exotic, but very savory in taste. A real discovery for you will be Pop tarts, which look like dry cookies, which, after heating in the microwave or toaster, turn into delicious pies with filling.
Salmon is usually brought from Alaska, boiled peanuts from Georgia (a product for an amateur), tea and coffee from Hawaii, green chili peppers from New Mexico, seawater-flavored toffee from New Jersey, although in fact 150 varieties of these sweets are sold in this state. And don’t forget about such delicious treats as traditional American marshmallows, the famous M&M’s candy in a variety of flavors and colorful packaging, reminiscent of more toys than sweets, as well as the legendary Juicy Fruit chewing gum and Hershey chocolate sweets. Don't miss peppery licorice sticks, Indiana chocolate popcorn, Kansas City barbecue tomato sauce, Oklahoma beef jerky, and Missouri pumpkin jam. Chocolate-covered potato chips made in North Dakota are also exotic for us, but worth a try, as are maple cheese from Vermont and fragrant sunflower honey from South Dakota with a unique medicinal composition - as a result of scientific research, it was found that this honey actively fights bacilli and pathogenic bacteria.
America's finest alcohol
Tourists who are not indifferent to good spirits buy a couple of bottles of bourbon - an American whiskey made from corn, wheat, rye and barley and aged in toasted oak barrels. By the way, the best bourbon comes from Kentucky. In the USA, beer is very tasty, and it is produced in different varieties - there are even low-calorie beer Natural Light, Bud Light and Michelob Light, as well as the so-called frozen beer - a highly chilled and very strong drink (18% vol.) Dogfish Head is considered the strongest. The national spirit of the United States is a root beer (or root beer) made from the bark of the sassafras tree, which is flavored with cinnamon, vanilla, cherry bark, cloves, lemon balm, nutmeg, and anise.
Among American alcoholic beverages, not the last place is occupied by wine from California, where 90% of all US wines are produced. The best wines are made in the Napa Valley, and they are often flavored with blackcurrant and cocoa, and the cost of one bottle reaches $ 35.
“Cocktails packaged in small bottles are very tasty, especially Mojito and Pinot Colada, which are bought for parties,” says traveler Olga Chernyavskaya. “And you can buy a bottle of tequila for $7 — Mexico is close by!” It is interesting that smokers praise American cigarettes, noting their tart aroma and pleasant taste.
Unusual gifts from different states
“If you find yourself in California, bring back baubles and jewelry made of beach glass, an incredibly popular Californian souvenir,” advises blogger Irina Varsotskaya. — Imagine, an ordinary city dump of broken glass has turned over several decades into a unique sea coast with beautiful transparent stones. Tourists from all over the world come to see this beauty. Among these souvenir trophies is gold shavings from Alaska, where gold miners flocked to in the late 19th century, driven by the gold rush, now beautifully packaged gold shavings are sold in souvenir shops. There I also occasionally buy miniature totem poles representing mythical ancestors and ulu knives used by Alaskan natives to skin animals.”
Souvenir diamonds made of spectacular optical glass are sold in the diamond state of Arkansas, incredibly beautiful sapphires can be purchased in Montana, jewelry and accessories made of minerals and precious stones are very popular as gifts in Colorado. If you're in Hawaii, pick up ocean pearls, an unusual-sounding ukulele, and cute shell angels as keepsakes, and in Maine, don't forget to pick up a lobster keychain.
No less popular are cowboy paraphernalia, old vinyl records and Indian exotics, for which you need to go to the Indian settlements of the states of Arizona and New Mexico.
“Here you can buy unique products of the Navajo and Pueblo Indians,” says Dmitry Barkov, an avid Indianist. — The best Indian accessories — jewelry made of silver, turquoise and coral, homespun blankets and carpets with geometric patterns and cult symbols, decorative painted ceramics of stylish design, the analogues of which you will not find anywhere else, because the Indians are masters of harmonious asymmetry — at least these products look not only colorful, but also flawless in terms of form. Another bright souvenir is ritual kachina dolls, the cost of which starts from 50-100 dollars.
While politicians sort things out, it becomes more difficult for Russians to buy goods abroad, and especially in the United States. Many American stores do not accept Russian cards for payment and do not deliver to Russia, but the prices in America are much lower even for the most prestigious brands, and when buying them in an official store, there is no danger of running into a fake.
How to shop in American stores profitably and reliably while in Moscow, St. Petersburg or any other Russian city? With the help of our friends from the Banderolka service, professionally engaged in the delivery of goods from the USA and Europe, we made a selection of equipment, fashionable clothes and other fun from American stores and tell you how to buy all this from Russia at a profit. Until September 30, "Banderolka" has a promotion: delivery of goods weighing up to 1 kilogram costs only 1,000 rubles. How much will fit in a kilogram? More than it seems. A new iPad at a bargain American price, classic New Balance sneakers at a discount, sneakers, and there will be room for socks!
Let's talk about how it all works with specific examples.
1. iPad Mini 4
Yes, even those who wrinkle their noses in front of the “Yabloko” used to check how much the next gadget from Apple costs, and every time they were convinced that it was very expensive. But the situation is so sad only in Russia. If you order the iPad Mini 4 in the US, then its price will be 399 dollars or approximately 22.8 thousand rubles. As you know, you will have to pay a thousand for delivery, MediaMarkt asks for the same iPad Mini 33,989 rubles. And this is only for a pig 32 gigabytes, when from the USA you can order a gadget for 128 gigabytes at once for 10 thousand cheaper.
If you are in doubt about how much a product weighs and did not find this information on the store’s website, on this page you can find information on the weight of different products in order to roughly estimate whether you fit in a kilogram.
2. Levi´s jeans
Jeans weigh quite a bit. As, in fact, they cost: for an original and high-quality model, you need to pay only 54.5 dollars or 3.1 thousand rubles. Another thing in Russia: get ready to pay 8 thousand rubles for them. By the way, in order to save a lot of money, you can add a shirt and a few other goods to jeans.
3. Shirt from Gap
Here is a shirt, for example, will cost 54.9 dollars or about 3.1 thousand rubles. For natural materials, this is a very reasonable price. By the way, it’s worth a good dig on the official website of the store: as usual, they have a lot of sales, which also allow you to save a lot.
4. Nike sneakers
And what kind of fashionista will go out without cool sneakers? Correct answer: none. But the prices for them in Russia do not just bite, but attack a defenseless victim, leaving her not the slightest chance of survival after the purchase. In the best case, to buy Nike sneakers, you will have to shell out 10 thousand rubles (you should not count on less for the original shoes of the latest collection). But from the USA you can order for 58 dollars, which is 3.3 thousand in rubles. Profitable!
5. Calvin Klein shoes
What about Calvin Klein leather flats? On the website of the online store, they are now wildly discounted, and this wonderful pair, for example, will get you only 43.6 dollars or 2.5 thousand rubles. In Russia, the price of such ballet shoes starts from 10 thousand rubles and goes to infinity.
6. Converse sneakers
And what autumn would do without long walks in autumn parks, powdered with golden foliage? We leave sneakers to look cool at parties, but for long hikes or travel, the best shoes are sneakers. A synonym for the word “sneakers” is Converse, and in official stores in Russia they cost about 5 thousand rubles. But with the help of "Banderolka" they can be bought for 40 dollars or 2.3 thousand rubles.
7Michael Kors bag
Michael Kors bags are very popular in Russia, but since here you have to shell out big money for them, there is usually a parade of fake models in the subway. Still, when a bag costs from 20 thousand rubles, not many can fork out for the original. Fortunately, there is a “Package”: with it you can buy an original bag for $ 228 (13 thousand rubles). And that's if you want black. And if you like red, then the price is even more attractive - $ 171 (9.8 thousand rubles).
8. Herschel backpack
A fashionable Herschel backpack in Russia can cost 6.5 thousand. Hm, not bad. In the US, you can buy the same for 72 dollars or 4.1 thousand rubles. Sounds much better!
9. Tiffany & Co. ring
So girls, how about a Tiffany & Co. ring? Have you often imagined yourself in the place of Holly Golightly, who, in order to calm down, comes to the Tiffany store, but, alas, cannot afford anything there? You are given a stellar chance: a ring for 150 dollars or 8.55 thousand rubles. In Russia, the exact same ring costs 14.7 thousand - almost twice as much, damn it! There is not a single Holly Golightly to save such an amount. You have to be smart and order from the US.
10. Various cosmetics
It's time for cosmetics, which, fortunately, weighs very little. It is worth interviewing all the girlfriends and making a joint order. Moreover, dealers drive crazy prices for cosmetics in Russia: you have to overpay for the original product by two or three times. "Panderolka" has a cool service when you can combine purchases from a dozen different stores into one package - and it doesn't cost a cent!
We have compiled only a rough list to show the benefits of buying quality cosmetics in the USA. In fact, your order can be much larger, because all these things weigh a couple of tens of grams. It can be EOS lip balm: $ 1.99 (113 rubles) - 450 rubles in Russia, Anastasia Beverly Hills eyebrow gel: $ 14.4 (820 rubles) - 1,944 rubles, Bobbi Brown BB cream spf 35 foundation: $ 46 (2.6 thousand rubles) - 3,120 rubles, LORAC Pro Matte Eye Shadow Palette: 28 dollars (1.6 thousand rubles) - 3,808 rubles, lipstick Lime Crime: 14 dollars (912 rubles) - 1,146 rubles and other goods.
11. Ray-Bans
Yes, we are aware that autumn has come and in Russia this is not the sunniest time of the year. But actually, even in this gloomy season, there is such a wonderful period as Indian summer. In addition, right now is the time to prepare your sleigh for the next summer or an upcoming vacation, and Ray Ban sunglasses will serve you faithfully for more than one season. Well, the last argument in favor of the timeliness of such a purchase: in the USA, glasses cost 80 dollars or 4.5 thousand rubles, in Russia - 9 thousand rubles. Double the markup!
12. Lego
The next Star Wars is coming out soon, and even very grown-up boys are ready to secretly - or maybe not secretly - build their own Millennium Falcon. The Lego constructor is best suited for this purpose (that's why children are needed - to buy constructors under cover!). On the official website, the toy costs 117 dollars or 6.6 thousand rubles, but in Russia you will have to pay for the same 9,219 rubles.
Chips "Package"
You, of course, are already wondering why it is possible to purchase goods with the "Panderolka" so profitably, the mark-up for which in Russia exceeds 100%. The fact is that this is an intermediary service: they have their own warehouse in the USA and Europe, and therefore you can stock up with "Panderolka" even in those online stores that do not accept Russian bank cards for payment and do not deliver to Russia.
A trip to the USA is an immersion in a unique environment with an authentic, unique atmosphere. From such a trip I want to bring something unusual. The souvenir should not just remind you of a good time, it should be part of the way of life of Americans, their culture. We have prepared a list of the brightest and most specific American goods and accessories.
Alcohol
In the American tradition, drinks play an important role - whiskey, root beer are very popular here, winemaking is well developed.
Wine
American wine is almost impossible to buy in Russia, it will be an original gift. Traditional varieties: Merlot, Malbec.
Whiskey
Whiskey is a Scottish drink, however, in the USA it has long become a classic. The most famous American whiskey is Jack Daniels.
Bourbon
Bourbon is the national American drink. It belongs to the whiskey class, however, it is made not from barley, but from corn. The most famous brand of bourbon is Jim Beam. Interestingly, real bourbon can only be produced in the state of Kentucky; corn-based alcoholic beverages in other states do not belong to bourbons.
Tequila
Tequila is especially popular in the southern states bordering Mexico - the birthplace of this drink. However, in the USA they have learned how to make their own bourbon-based tequila, it has a slightly different taste, but has already managed to gain popularity all over the world. Tequila Olmeca, Pepe Lopez in the USA has an affordable price and the highest quality.
root beer
Another traditional American alcoholic drink is Root Bear - root beer. Its taste is not at all like the usual taste of beer, to some it may even seem like cough syrup. It is made from the bark of the Sassafras tree and can be alcoholic or non-alcoholic. It is a symbol of American culture, a very popular drink among Americans. Bringing a bottle of AW, Dog n Sud, Zubberfizz or any other brand as a souvenir is a great solution.
Cosmetics
The most popular American cosmetic brands: Anastasia Beverly Hills, Revlon, Lime Crime, MAC, NYX, REDKEN, Bobbi Brown, NARS. American cosmetics differ from what you can buy in our country not only in quality, but also in a wider range, unexpected solutions and colors.
Medications
One of the most popular drugs from the United States are teeth whitening strips that help achieve the effect of the famous "Hollywood smile".
American remedies DayQuil NyQuil help to get rid of a cold in a short time.
Also in the USA you can buy modern and effective sports nutrition kits iHerb, T-nation, Bodybuilding and others. These brands offer complete complexes for a healthy lifestyle: vitamins, dietary supplements, body and face care products.
Clothing and footwear
In the US, you can find unique items, from branded clothing at incredible discounts to vintage collectibles at very low prices. You should definitely buy Timberland boots, Victoria's Secret underwear - these products are much cheaper than in Russia and Europe.
Sweets
American sweets are inexpensive, but very original and, most importantly, delicious souvenirs. Among the most famous are Oreo cookies, Reese's candy, Hershey's chocolate, original Snickers and many others.
Peanut butter
Real peanut butter can only be bought in the US and is another national product. It is better to buy jars of chocolate or jam, this taste will be softer and everyone will surely like it.
Maple syrup
Despite the fact that maple syrup is a Canadian delicacy, it is not difficult to get it in America. It makes a great addition to pancakes.
Hershy chocolate
Hershy is the fifth largest confectionery company in the world. They produce chocolate bars, candies, milk and dark chocolate pearls, and more. Chocolate bars of the same name are almost impossible to buy in Russia.
Souvenirs
The most popular souvenirs from the USA are mugs, T-shirts, backpacks, baseball caps with the traditional inscriptions “I love NY”, “L.A.”, the names of American baseball or football teams, universities, cities. T-shirts can be bought at very low prices in special open pavilions in tourist places. Goods from Starbucks are very popular - coffee sets, collectible mugs.
Statue of Liberty
The Statue of Liberty is a symbol of the United States, and therefore key chains, figurines, clothes with its image belong to the category "the best souvenirs from the USA."
Indian paraphernalia
Indian culture is part of US history. Dreamcatchers are often found among tourist goods - these are very beautiful and spectacular souvenirs. Also a great gift would be clothes, leather goods, jewelry in a traditional Indian style.
cowboy paraphernalia
The Wild West is an equally popular theme in the United States. Cowboy boots, hats or trousers have long been part of modern fashion, they are in great demand among American and European designers. American shops allow you to find unique items from this category at inexpensive prices. The most popular item is boots - they are made of cowhide, sometimes there are models of crocodile or snake.
Electronics and gadgets from Apple
The request to bring the latest iPhone from the USA is perhaps the most common. However, Apple sells these smartphones in the country along with contracts that do not allow them to be used outside of it. But you can use smart watches, iPads and iPods - their prices are much lower.
Jewelry and bijouterie
Tiffany jewelry is every girl's dream. In Russia, products are incredibly expensive, and the choice is significantly limited. In the USA, Tiffany has become part of the culture, and therefore such products are much more affordable here.
Cannot be exported
- marijuana, even legally acquired;
- cash more than 10 thousand dollars per person;
- weapons, piercing, cutting objects.
Fruits and vegetables must first be declared.
Over the past 3 months, this topic has become especially relevant for me - I send something every day, they already recognize me at the post office, remember my Russian surname, tell the latest news and share where to buy cool vintage badges. The most frequent, but impossible request is the iPhone 4, I myself thought about it, but on the spot it turned out that it was possible to buy it in the Apple Store only with a Social Security ID, or from hucksters in tourist shops, where it costs $ 800. Sometimes they just ask me what to ask friends who are going to New York to buy. For these purposes, I have compiled a special list. If you think that something is not deservedly missed, please write. Extras are always good :)
At the end of the post, a bonus for everyone, not only for those who are going to the States
In the top four, the most popular queries are:
1. Timberland
Even with shipping, they come out almost two times cheaper than in a company store in Moscow. Classic men's are $155, women's browns are $135, and pinks are $90. Just in case, add 9% sales tax and here is the final price of joy.
2. UGG
Even if you already have one pair, take the second in reserve. Classic short ones with sales tax will cost $130, medium ones - $150 and high ones - $195.
3. MacBook Air
iPad won't turn your life around 360 degrees, but it will be indispensable if you travel a lot. Today officially started selling the tablet in Russia, by the way, the prices are quite divine, given the same sales tax in the United States. For example, the cheapest iPad without 3G in the Apple store costs $550, in Russia - $20,000. The popular iPad 16 GB 3G+WiFi model costs $690 in America and 25,000 rubles in Russia. And if suddenly the cards match so that someone is traveling from America, and you still want such a toy for yourself, you can ask to buy it. Only, I'm afraid I'll have to choose, because recently a new MacBook Air went on sale, which is more expensive than the same popular iPad with 3G by $ 400, but at the same time it is a full-fledged computer.
9. Famous hoodies or T-shirts I love NY
Hoodies in all the colors of the rainbow on the shelves of local merchants cost $ 15, T-shirts - 5. These things are so popular that they are sold on eBay for $ 30 plus shipping, and not a dollar less. As you can guess, this is a tourist attraction, in my opinion, it's much cooler to buy a real American hoodie with the name of the university, or some little-known baseball team for 20 bucks at a local second-hand store. I bought mine from this shop. The owner loves her store. All things are hung by color, theme, etc. There are hoodies with animals, names of universities, sports teams, diamond shirts of this color, stripes of this, and so on. You will be pleasantly surprised. The exact address can be found on the store's website.
10. Vintage plaques
It could be a Coca-Cola sign or a sign from a local store. Search flea markets or eBay. Vendors on the street are not real, made in China, not of any value
And by tradition, if I forgot something or you think that something is undeservedly not mentioned in this entry, please add your own version!
P.C.: a small bonus, on this site you can order a free set of 5 samples of mineral cosmetics. The best part is that they have delivery to Russia and the ability to pay with a Russian card. Delivery of 5 jars with base, blush and powder will cost you $8. They say that the jars come quite large, enough for a long time. I'm expecting my game in a few days ;)
