There's the ubiquitous balikbayan box for one. Daming pwedeng ilaman, from corned beef, Nike shoes, Sperry Topsiders, Spam, chocolates & candies, towels, bedsheets, Cheese Curls, small appliances, NBA t-shirts & caps, toys and all sorts of other things typically sent over to relatives in the Phils.

At kung may uuwi, baka pwedeng i-pakidala na lang kung hindi naman mag-eexcess baggage. :D
