Helpful Ideas?

People contact me every so often... they want to start a web business and sell toys, too. They would like names of suppliers, information on profitability, how I do the site, etc. I guess there's no harm in asking, but forgive me if I'm not always so helpful. So... I think I will be helpful, but in a different way.

I am an avid internet shopper. I am always looking for ways to make my life easier, and having things "magically" arrive (rather than having to battle crowds, traffic, parking, not to mention dragging three kids in tow) is infinitely tempting. I purchase often from H&M, Lands End (US and UK), Amazon (US and UK), Hanna Andersson, Gap, CD-ON.com, dammsugarpåsar.nu, and many more. But there are so many possibilities out there - espeically in Sweden.

Here is a very short list of what I wish I could find online - actually what I have looked for over the past couple of weeks:

1) Brabantia Garbage Bags - we have three sizes of Brabantia garbage cans in our house, and the company makes wonderful bags that fit just perfectly. The problem is in finding them... and when I make the effort to look, the store is always out of the size I need.

2) Kids Outerwear - Cross is a great company with wonderful products... and so is Didrikssons and Reima... so why doesn't anyone sell them on line (aside from used)? We seem to have a constant need for new outerwear year-round, between growth spurts and general (aka boy) wear and tear.

3) Merrell Footwear (especially for kids) - We love Merrell shoes, but they are really hard to find in Sweden. Here's a great opportunity!

4) American Food Products - this might be tricky, as there may be rules for how to store and ship. I thought Grey's would take care of my need for zip-loc bags and chocolate chips, but their website has never opened.

So - there's a few ideas, and anyone who starts one of the above will be guaranteed a customer! Anyone have any more ideas?
