Out of those, the only ones I find weird are the CD repair kit and the Robe. Bic is a French company, Wenger is a Swiss company, loads of jewelry is made in Italy...
Things made abroad don't tend to suprise me anyway, it's so rare that stuff is Made in Britain now that I often go out of my way to buy that stuff.
