In her video, Thalia invites her followers to join her journey: "Let's see what I picked up at Dollar Tree with $21 to take to Cuba, all toiletries. I know you guys love these videos, so come along."
As she displays her purchases, @thalia_hr highlights items such as sponges, dishwashing detergent, a small bottle of Fabuloso (her favorite), four deodorants, three regular-sized toothpaste tubes, and a shower gel. Additionally, she included a small bottle of Suavitel and some fragrant closet balls that "make my closet smell so good." To wrap up her haul, she mentioned buying sunglasses for her son. Thalia encourages her followers to share their thoughts on whether they think she made a wise purchase or if they find the price too steep.
User Feedback and Community Tips
The response from her audience was swift, with many expressing gratitude for the ideas and sharing their own tips. One user commented, "In Cuba, everything is appreciated, they need it all, and even if it doesn't meet all needs, you always want your family to enjoy these little things. Blessings." Another thanked Thalia for the inspiration for his first trip to the island: "Thanks, because in December it's my first trip, and as a man, I don't know much about these things, and you gave me a great idea, blessings."
Some viewers resonated with her intention to bring "even just a little, but let them try it," while others requested more ideas for their upcoming trips. One user asked if customs would allow her to bring liquids, to which Thalia responded that she hadn't faced any issues on a previous trip. She also received tips on where to buy more cost-effective products, like using coupons at CVS, or suggestions for other items that could benefit her family in Cuba.
