Whats Your Florida Shopping Must Haves??

[Graeme]

OUTDOOR WORLD !!

I'm an outdoor gear nutcase and can spend hours at a time looking at camouflage toilet roll holders, (well perhaps not that bad), while wife gets bored and annoyed

I'm afraid I take it a step further and mail order stuff from all over the US to my hotel to escape import and shipping charges. I start making lists before the flights are booked.

Oh, and Wendy's quarter pounders with cheese.

 

[kacale]

This year DD is also hoping to find a bargain pair of coverse shoes.

[coastergirls]

I usually buy skeechers (spelling) for the girls however recently I have been able to buy them cheaper at TKMAX so might not this time. Spend loads in the Disney outlet store usual Disney princess t shirts etc. Always buy jeans for the eldest as we get extra skinny jeans over there . Buy them for that year and the year after in shop in the mall wher Travel city have their shop. Gap adjustable jeans are even too big for her sometimes so that is always the first thing we buy.
Loads of girls clothes in Old Navy outlet also at that mall .
Baby annabell stuff at the Florida mall what we pay in £'s you get it for in dollars.
In otherwords lots of stuff for the kids and nothing for myself other than premium skincare products. Gone off clinique so will have to use something else I can but over there!

I spotted some Yankee candles in Hobbycraft this Christmas if anyone's interested.

Where do you buy them from in Orlando?

 

[Miffy2003]

Queenie - Yankee Candles store at Mall at Millennia

 

[alisonbestford]

I believe there's also a store in Pointe Orlando where you can buy Yankee Candles

 

[Kaslee]

My List isn't very exciting
Lots of underwear. Bras for us well endowed girls are a lot cheaper in the US than over here.
Also I always buy antibiotic cream which is available over the counter. DD had a nasty skin infection picked up at a swimming pool in Menorca which was only treated properly with cream once she got home. We always travel with a tube "just in case".
T shirts etc.

Is there anywhere to pick up a reasonable priced prom or evening dress? DD has her Prom in the summer and would like to buy one to bring back.

Thanks
Kay

I might be pretty hopeless at shopping but you're all giving me ideas

Underwear sounds good as, as Kaslee says, it's not easy to find here and antibiotic cream.................I'm a walking medical bag at times

 

[misskrystal]

I like to buy at least 6 pairs of sunglasses from Hot Topic (it's my thing, I don't need to explain).
I like to visit Abercrombie and Fitch for a sweater (I get cold in the AC).
And, most importantly, I like to get refillable mugs from BB and TL (don't know why, but just those two).
Then everything else we can afford.

 

[Mumof2]

I usually buy towels and tea towels - the latter despite the fact that I hardly ever use them since buying a dish wahser - but its like an obsession. Weird, I know

The other thing I buy is trainers.

One Q, what is so special about yankee candles. I love candles but have never heard of yankee ones

Lynn, I thought the same about these until I used them. I thought, "just flavoured candles, right?" but they are truly aromatic and theyl make my house smell wonderful for days after burning them

Look here, the choice of flavours is incredible:

Yankee Candle

 

[juliebro]

Clinique
Jeans from DKNY
Clothes for DS from Hollister
Disney Christmas tree decoration
Ralph Lauren Outlet for polo shirts
Bought ipod minis last year

Would appreciate some tips on where I could buy some nice (but not tooo expensive) evening wear. Started a new job recently and now need to attend the odd 'black tie' dinner - so could do with a new dress or two.
