My parents are off to Europe for 3 weeks. What cool stuff can I ask them to bring back for me?

They are going to London, Prague, Budapest and Berlin.
 
I'm 17 and polar bear dolls dont appeal to me 🙁

absinthe would be cool though, dont know how much tax they slap on that?

I was thinking more along the lines of awesome technology or what not.

What I mean is, Cuban cigars are not really European.

He never asked to buy European stuff.. Just for stuff to buy in Europe. And since the US has an embargo on Cuba and cuban cigars r gud... 😉 But I forgot that he's not in the US, so nevermind cigars.

It's overpriced...

I want some kwl stuff, maybe something else? I don't know what resides in Europe. I'm open to suggestions just not polar bear stuffed animals- thats not my thing.
 
What's your budget?

Maybe a new mobile phone, Nokia N95 is amazing! 🙂

You are not old enough for alcohol, right?

I'm 17, one year from legal age but that doesn't really turn me on, if you know what i mean?

When I asked my mom for an old £300 laptop she jumped on me so the budget is probably about £100.

EDIT: cellphones are kinda boring 🙁 I prefer having an iPod, cellphone and PDA on me at all times seperately. The PDA died but I didn't use it much anyways

If you think stuff is overpriced in SA, wait till you get to London. A pint of lager can cost nearly £3 (about $6).
 
I don't know about the rest of Europe, but the UK is very overpriced for most things, including tech - Exchange rate is £1 = US$2 but apparently no one has told Apple, Microsoft or any other US company🙁
