1. sucker hook
Sucker hooks, which can be seen everywhere in supermarkets in China, are rarely seen in supermarkets and convenience stores in the United States. If you cook by yourself, you will realize how convenient it is to have such a row of hooks to hang kitchen utensils, chopping boards and peeling knives in the kitchen. It is also convenient to hang mops or rags in the bathroom. Just buy a dozen and stuff them in the suitcase. One or two years will be enough.
2. Folding washbasin
If you have the habit of soaking your feet, this thing is an artifact. After folding, it is only the size of a pencil case, which is very light. Pots in American supermarkets are mostly oversized and used for washing clothes.
3. sewing kit for travel
Girls had better learn some needlework before going abroad. Small breakage of socks, underwear and sheets can be solved by this method, and the attached soft ruler can also be used to measure the body shape to decide what size clothes to buy here (American clothes are not numbered according to confusing standards such as height or arm length multiplied by body length). There are no sewing shops in America. It is better to buy a sewing kit than a sewing box, and it is easy to be crushed during long-distance transportation.
Note: This article must be checked in the trunk and not carried with you, otherwise the scissors will be confiscated by the customs.
4. Multifunctional tool combination
When I first arrive in America, I need to buy furniture. Many IKEA Wal-Mart furniture needs to be assembled by itself, and no tools are provided. This thing is used at this time. It's time to save furniture. I have to go out to the hardware supermarket to buy screwdrivers and knives.
5. A set of good quality stationery
It is suggested to prepare a set of red, blue and black pens and five refills, and buy your favorite brand. Not that America doesn't. I just brought my own, so I won't come. I need to buy more things in the future. Also, save money ... In the United States, there is almost no need to use a pen to complete a lot of writing tasks, and five refills can be used for a long time.
6. Magnet door curtain
You can buy two sets, transparent and opaque. Two purposes:
One is to install a kitchen door to prevent oil smoke. American kitchens generally have no doors and range hoods. You'll know it's sour and refreshing after frying for a month ... I believe many students have seen this kind of magnetic door curtain in small restaurants in China, which has a remarkable effect of shielding oil smoke and odor.
Second, students who live in the living room can buy a set for the door. If the shape of your door frame is too strange to install this kind of door curtain, consider the telescopic rod door curtain. But it's not easy to get. Let's go to Wal-Mart Amazon after coming.
7.wifi remote control socket
Most American apartments don't have overhead lights. In most cases, you need to buy your own floor lamp to configure the lighting. However, the switch position of floor lamps is generally in a very low or high place. If you add such a socket to the lamp, you can switch the lamp on and off with your mobile phone in bed. And you can turn on the light before you go home, so you don't have to enter the house in the dark.
Note: Because this product is a national standard socket, it needs to be matched with an American standard conversion plug. And only a few electrical appliances with two-phase plugs can be connected, such as floor lamps and humidifiers. Gome's three-phase plug is not compatible. If you feel trouble, you can buy remote control socket here.
8.USB charger
Most of these products are universal (GB and American standard can be universal), and one can avoid bringing a bunch of chargers.
9.USB lamp+mobile power supply
If you rent a new apartment, it is possible that the first day in the United States, the apartment will have no electricity. Because the power supply here is not under the property management, you need to open an account with the power company yourself. It is possible to spend the first day or even the first week in the dark every night. So mobile power supply and USB lamp are very necessary things.
10. Mini Calendar
If you are more used to writing down your schedule, you'd better have something like this. You should record your schedule for the week after you arrive here before going abroad, so as not to be in a hurry.
1 1. Mobile phone sticker
If you plan to buy a new mobile phone here, it will save a lot of things to buy two films in advance, and you can also learn two tricks from Tianqiao master. Of course, it doesn't matter if you are a mobile phone streaker.
12. Shoe brush
Yes, a shoe brush. Although some Americans throw their sneakers directly into the washing machine, I think people are more accustomed to brushing them themselves.
13.5 /7 rechargeable batteries
This list is just to save money, because the batteries here in the United States often sell more than a dozen pieces without opening them. One or two knives on average. The battery is universal. American AAA and AA batteries are domestic No.7 and No.5.
14. TV box
If you plan to buy a TV in America, be sure to bring a domestic box. It is convenient to watch domestic programs. After installing some apps, you can also watch CNN, FOX, HBO, etc., and you don't have to pay cable TV fees of tens of dollars a month. There are many online tutorials in this field.
15.Velcro strap
Storage artifact, nobody. Widely used: binding data lines, binding floor lamp wires, binding unused chopsticks, binding door curtains ... any batch of things can be bound and expanded. I once asked my friends who came back to China to buy 40 yuan at a time.
16. Small gifts made in China
Chinese knot, folding fan, clay figurine, seal, calligraphy, writing brush, etc. , or a small specialty in my hometown. It's not too expensive, just three or five pieces. Birthdays of students or visiting professors are very popular as gifts.
Note: professors should not be too expensive, otherwise they will be rejected by the other party for bribing.
17. Luggage scale
Buy this ruler, measure the size and weight before boarding the plane, and avoid being stuck at the counter to unpack.
18. stale
There are few opportunities to write now, and it is estimated that it will be even less after coming to the United States ... It is necessary to prepare two copybooks for practice. Don't forget how to write your name when you return to China in a few years, it will be very embarrassing …
19.iPhone charging cable
Prepare two more, one for the bed, one for the desk and one for the bag, so as to save trouble.
Please ignore this for Android users. ...
20. Digital package
It's good to organize some small things with this. Go out and put this bag directly into a satchel or shoulder bag and live together ~
These little things arranged above not only occupy no space, but also have practical value. Studying in the United States as a part-time job is no longer a useful portable product. As long as these are within the baggage range that can be carried in the US security check, please try to carry them with you, and you will definitely use them.
