2024 in gifts: TOP-5 most popular items of the year and where/how to buy them

Online shopping has transformed buying patterns and there’s no going back. The list of cool stuff people are buying for themselves or as a gift to loved ones is truly global. Wherever you are, you can get all the things on this list – with a little time and, of course, the help of the Parlaxy community.

1. Ever heard of this 3D pen? How cool is that? This 3Doodler Flow is infinitely awesome, being very beginner-friendly, but providing a high quality of finished product as well. According to TikTok, everyone wants them, but for some it is easier to get a hold of, then the others. The international shipping warehouses are in Hong Kong, and shipping can take up to several weeks. Thankfully, you can jump in on the trend much quicker – just find someone who comes to your place from the United States, United Kingdom or China. Not only quicker, but probably cheaper as well!

2. Apple devices are pricey, but the latest iPhones are at the top of gift lists every year. Apple iPhone 16 Pro Max is usually around $1 400 in Apple stores, but if you are in one of the countries that taxes tech goods, you should really try and find ways to buy Apple electronics in some other country. Like this user on Parlaxy does, who's looking for a traveler to bring his iPhone from Germany to Turkey.

3. Wellness products have reached their all-time high this year. The range is impressive: from simple resistance bands for as little as $7 on Amazon, to expensive recovery sets like this HigherDose Infrared Sauna Blanket for $776 on the official website. Recovery bands are easy – you can find them anywhere. But if you are someone that needs a sauna blanket, definitely employ help from Parlaxy travelers – no need to pay for expensive international delivery.

4. PlayStation Portal Remote Player is an all-in-one, turnkey solution for PS5. It has limited features, of course, and true gamers will use it only as an occasional substitution, but it is on the many gamers’ wish lists. As well as PlayStation 5, Remote Player is accessible worldwide, since the gaming industry truly does not recognize man-made borders. But, and this BUT is a big one: the price fluctuates tremendously depending on where you are in the world. Turkish customers, for example, will have to pay around $1 300 for PS5 and $350 for the Remote Player – which is almost twice as much as what these things cost in Europe. That is why many users who are after these gaming goods first come to Parlaxy.

5. Dyson AirWrap Multi-Styler was on many wish lists last year, and is still one of the most gifted things to women. If you haven’t bought a Christmas/New year gift for an important woman in your life yet, and you don't have time to be creative with your present, definitely check out this multi-styler. There should be a good reason behind all that hype, right? The thing should be available in your local electronics stores, but if not and you have to turn to the Internet for help, don’t forget to look literally everywhere in the world for the best deal and try out Parlaxy first.
