What to Bring and What to Wear

 

Want to Bring Something to Mante?  --Yes, Great Idea!    First, shop at the $1 stores but even for items that have quantities of 3-6 of the same something – like toys, socks, hair ties, etc. !  Look in the Party favor departments of all stores – Hobby Lobby and Michaels -

FUN SERVICES located at 120th and just North of Huron has  all types of Trinkets for .01 cent enough where you could fill a Baggie of 50 something… Check it out! 

Banks School Supply Store for educational gifts – also some items in Spanish – lots of value in shopping here!

At the $ store consider getting ‘reader’ glasses – sunglasses  (watch the prices – different $ stores offer different prices on this but most at $1 each)  Shop Now! 

At Target – watch the every changing $1 items at the front of the stores! 

Consider Puzzles – nail polishes – school supplies – small stuffed animals – shoes – chalk – jump ropes – playing cards – Uno – old

McDonald-Burger King Toys your kids discarded long ago – small board games checkers, etc. – Arts and Crafts – Yarn – stickers and sticker books –

We don’t know of any issues at the borders or thru immigration, however a word of caution is to undo the “newness” of a package, they don’t allow you to carry in things if it looks like your going to be reselling them……

What to Wear – Peddle Pushers – over the knees are ok – but Shorts for women or men are not generally acceptable forms of wear in Mante -   If your going on an outside tour that is different.  Mante natives will wear long pants even on the hottest days of summer.  Your choice however – BRING a sweater as the weather can get brisk in Feb. and a poncho – All of this you can buy but if anything in Mante is expensive, it’s clothes!
