chunches
parece ser un tipo de tlaparería, donde encuentras todo tipo de chunches que nunca te habrías imaginado...
mi sugerencia, para México :)
Y tenemos millones de chunches (y artefactos) para arreglar cualquier asunto...
creo que con "chunches" basta, pero le podrías agregar "artefactos/cosas/herramientas..." si quieres..
no hace falta meter el diminutivo, ya que además de que suena horrible (chunchitas) creo que "chunches" solito mantiene la idea informal de todo tipo de cosas (y usar "cositas" creo que te van a alburear...)
