Lugos = luxuries See the entry for this Argentine idiom here: https://tureng.com/en/spanish-english/lugo
Can't find anything at all for "chulalados", and I think it may either be a misspelling of "chalados" or an invented word, but given the context it would seem to mean something like "crazy/stupid/unnecessary things". Good luck!

gadgets and luxuries

Perhaps not an exact translation but what is meant. From "chulada" an attractive bauble.

Peer comment(s):
neutral Taña Dalglish : ¿Dominicana? [¿República Dominicana, supongo, porque no puede ser la isla de Dominica?]. Trifles is a "thing of little value or importance" which does not mean that is necessarily cool/cute.

gifts and luxuries for your lover

Mexican slang. Consulted with a Mexican translation contact who is a native of Guerrero.
Peer comment(s):
neutral Taña Dalglish : Jeff: I think the question is quite straightforward, and I honestly see no mention of a lover (if she were accusing him of spending on a lover, I think the tone would be more aggressive, and she would mention another woman?).
