Bathroom Supplies
Shower curtains, bath mats, towels, rugs, and washcloths are easy to find at supermarkets and home outlets.
Cosmetics and Personal Care
Brands like Estée Lauder, Clinique, MAC, Revlon, and European lines are readily available and often similarly priced to the U.S.
Electronics and Small Appliances
Xcite by Alghanim Electronics offers a wide range of household electronics with free installation and service plans. Also available are retailers like Sony, Panasonic, and Philips. Buying locally ensures compatibility with Kuwait’s 240 V system. Imported North American appliances often fail despite converters.

You can purchase pots, pans, utensils, cookware, and plastic ware at supermarkets, souks, and IKEA. Quality options are available but may be pricier.
Linens and Bedding
While stores stock bedding, quality items can be expensive. You may want to bring mattress pads, foam toppers, or sheets; extras are available here if needed.
