These all sound like you could get them at a sporting store like Decathlon?
I'm not sure there's a European level online shop that could replace Amazon. In the Netherlands there's bol.com (individual suppliers but also their own stock), in France you could try maybe from a supermarket like Auchan as it has a pretty large selection.
If your concern is shipping and packing, maybe you can buy some items in bulk, like the sunscreen and vanilla drops? If there is someone in your circle that also uses these things, then you can purchase them together in a single order?
haha decathlon just closed their business in sweden, wonderful
The items above reside on my shopping list for ~2 months and I've been to EDEKA, Kaufland, Rewe, Globus, Decathlon, Hornbach, DM, Rossmann and Reno in the meantime. :-D I guess it also depends on the specific store, the season and some luck to get what you're looking for. My local EDEKA e.g. did have these flavor drops in the past and DM typically sells sun sticks in summer. But if I couldn't pick specific items after some time, I usually go online to get them out of my mind.
Will check out bol.com, thank you! :)
Bol no longer sells outside the Benelux. Dutch companies and banks and the Dutch government have become increasingly isolationist.
Our Edeka sells flavour drops, by the way.
