Remember Duty Free Stores
You might find in the US departure areas or even on arrival in the DR that perfume sets are a lot less than in US stores.
I brought down some "J.Lo." perfume which is impossible to find in the DR adn owing to J Lo's popularity and the little jewelled and removable J Lo emblem on the bottle was a big hit.
Frankly even perfume from close out stores that is US name brand ( same with cosmetics) are eagerly appreciated.
Most appreciated is US$ cash. I tip hotel maid in US$, even $1 to $2 from time to time gets you better service, more towels etc. And more on departure. remember a maind may get paid RD$200 a day and a $5 tip is a day's pay almost.
