What Do You Buy When you Shop in Orlando

[jtlover]

Just wondered what others look forward to buying when they go shopping in Orlando

I cant wait to get over there to buy another Dooney handbag, Sephora lipsticks and Yankee Candles. If I cant get the bags I want in Dooney I might even buy 2 but dont tell my hubby

Oh, that is a beauty! Last time I went into the Fossil shop I also spent so much time looking. Ended up getting completely overwhelmed by the sheer range of options, swore I would go back later, and never did.

I like getting clothes, shoes and accessories. Plenty for DD too! I also look out for any Florida (not Disney) themed bits and bobs as gifts

Mostly t shirts, stuff like LaCoste, Hugo Boss, Ralph Lauren and Timberland.
Also bought a Tommy Hilfiger hoody in Macy's, kind of like a normal hoody (jacket) from the outside but thick and fluffy on the inside - was $130 but I've more than gotten my wear out of it!

DW tends to buy a lot of Guess stuff - handbags, purses and sunglasses.
She still hopes one day to find some Radley stuff tho, she loves that little dog. Sadly it doesn't seem to be available in many places in America but we're hoping their (quite) recent name change to 'Radley of London' may be to penetrate the more international market

It would probably be easier for me to list what I DON'T buy.


I always stock up on:

Yankee Candles
Bath & Body Works products
Half of the Sephora shop
Pandora charms
Fossil Watches
Dooney & Bourke Disney bags
Jim Shore Disney ornaments
Precious Moments Disney figurines
OPI Nail varnish
Shiseido make up
Skechers trainers
Sunglasses
Scrapbooking albums/papers


I am sure I will add to that list but they are the one's that sprang to mind.


That's before I start my Disney shopping! It's no wonder I always end up paying excess bagage fee's!

I love the mac make up and half of sephora, always get my clinique face wash way cheaper than at home and love love the FCUK shop in the outlet mall - just shopping in general is much nicer

Erm when the exchange rate has been good I have bought Seven for all Mankind jeans, a Gucci watch, Tiffany items and Jo Malone stuff. Last year I bought a pair of Ugg boots and still saved myself about £50 buying them from the States.
Shopping is also one of the reasons I can't bring myself to go elsewhere besides Florida for our holidays. Just don't tell DH that

Erhhhh yes but in my defence they come under the "Disney shopping list".....I didn't include that!

Never mind folks - when it comes to excessive shopping I don't think anyone is alone. I recall a certain trip to Premium Mall. After making numerous little purchases (5 pairs of jeans, 4 pairs of shoes, shirts, handbags ..... ) we made a quick stop in the Character Outlet shop. By the time I had three overflowing baskets lined up at the cashier for "safe keeping" while I continued to shop, I casually mentioned that shopping carts may not be a bad idea. The lady behind the counter pointed out that she had never seen anyone buy so much stuff. When it was time to ring everything up she had to enlist the assistance of two other staff members to help pack as she rang up . It was already becoming clear that I was never going to manage to carry everything as I was already struggling with the rest of the day's purchases. They very kindly offered to get someone to help us out to the car. When I explained that we didn't have one you could have picked her jaw up off the floor The problem was creatively resolved by a quick trip to a nearby luggage store for a suitcase All in all it was a successful day at the mall

 

[Pinky166]

I am so glad i'm not the only one that had to buy a suitcase to carry my day's purchases in!

Shopaholics unite!!!!!

 

[Jets fan]

Ooooh where does one start:

Shoes - last time 16 or 17 pairs
Clothes - enough for a year
Hairbands
CDs
Make up
Contact lens solution
Headache tablets and heneral toiletries
Yankee candles

Basically anything that takes my fancy as I am on holiday and I absolutely love shopping in Orlando

I want to do a LOT of shopping when we're there in July - how do you all manage to bring so much back when the baggage allowance is nowhere near enough to cover it all?? lol Do you pay for an extra bag? Now I'm curious - the more shopping I can bring back the better!

Well I usually fly UC or PE so the baggage allowance is more. Plus I limit the amount of stuff we take to two small cases which I then put inside two large cases, so we have two large empty cases to start with when we get there. I also bin all our toiletries that are left over at the end of the trip.

In September the limit for PE was still 2 x 32kg pp (now 2 x 23kg), DH & I came back with 4 cases, all of which were over 32kg & 3 large hand luggage bags.....I should add that my poor dh didn't buy a single thing!

32kg!! wow! We're flying with Thomson and are going premium class and we only get an allowance of 23kg, and only 1 bag per person (I think?)

The only toiletries I am bringing back will be my toothbrush! lol Everything else is getting thrown away over there, and I'm hoping that my clothes will be light enough to leave plenty of weight for my shopping!

 

[PudseyChancer]

Mainly stock up on clothing, Ralph Lauren and Lacoste in the main - the Outlet malls are very cheap compared to over here and the savings are brilliant.
