Default Heading to San Fran - what should I buy?

OK collective CP knowledge center, I'm heading down to San Francisco for 4 days next week to do some work with Cisco. I'll have a bit of extra time on my hands, but not a ton.

What cool US things should I buy while I'm there that we either can't get up here, or would be significantly cheaper down there, since we have a strong dollar and all?

iPads aren't that much cheaper, and by the time you add the California sales tax and compare to our GST, it's about $30 cheaper to pick one up down there. Not a big deal.

iPods are about the same deal... would be a bit cheaper down there, but not enough to get me all excited.

What about a B&N Nook? I hear you can root it and turn it into a half decent Adroid tablet... worth the $250 US?

What else should I grab while stateside, understanding that the allowable limit to bring back while only being gone 4 days isn't a whole lot...
