witneys7 Posted January 12, 2010 #1 Share Posted January 12, 2010 Never been to Mexico and I would like to know what people have bought for their kids (mine are ages 12 down to 4) in Cozumel. I do not want to spend much at all and I don't want to have to pack a whole other bag, so small, cheap ideas would be great:) I just want to know if there are neat little things available that I might not be aware that I can keep an eye out for. Thanks a bunch!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erinmarie424 Posted January 13, 2010 #2 Share Posted January 13, 2010 If you go to town (as opposed to staying at the shops near port) there are all kinds of little trinkets in the shops that are inexpensive. I got painted maracas for my young friends for $1 each last fall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arlodog Posted January 13, 2010 #3 Share Posted January 13, 2010 They usually have tee shirts for around 3 for $10. That is usually what we got for our kids! I was suprised that they didn't fall apart after the first washing, but they did hold up okay! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks a bunch!!! Something my son bought and took home was some chewing gum that they don't sell in the US. He is 16 and ended up buying the box of..I think it was 10 packs. He had a real good time sharing it with friends and they all thought it was cool to have "Mexican" gum. I am not positive, but I think it was sugarfree ..if that makes a difference. They sold it in all of the little drug stores and any store that sold gum and candy, chips..that kind of thing. I think the whole box was about$10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
