Where to buy portable misting fans?

[petsaregreat]

Hi!
Heading to Disney soon and would like to bring 4 spray/ misting fans with us. Those handheld things with the little fan being enclosed. I see some on Amazon for about $16. Wondering if there is anywhere in Ontario (GTA) I can just buy some or anywhere cheaper to order? Don't want to buy them down there. Thanks!

Check in Walmart. I got mine in USA Walmart but have seen them here as well.

I got ours at Toys R Us last year.

This one just got us through some of the hottest summer weather for 8 nights at Ottawa Bluesfest. $2 (ish) at the Dollar Store (add $1 more for 2 AAA batteries):



Works great!

My husband just bought what looks to be the exact same mister from The Source for $6. Except ours is completely useless. You have to stick it right in your face for a very slight breeze. I'm glad your mister works though. I never even thought about checking at a dollar store.

ok- checked walmart but no one that worked there had heard of it. I guess it varies from store to store. What dollar store did you find that at? Dollarama?

EVER SINGLE WALMART that I checked in my city was the same. The employees were clueless! And i looked everywhere but no luck. I am pretty convinced by now that walmart doesnt sell it. Im just gonna buy them online. Lol

what's the best deal online?

We purchased Discovery Kids misting fans last summer from Giant Tiger. They were $6 and we were very happy with them. This link shows you what they look like:

I don't know if GT is carrying them again for 2013 or not . Haven't been in to check. But if you have one in your area, it might be worth a look.

We bought one at Walmart a couple years ago, we found it near the camping section, but like I said it was awhile ago so they may not carry them anymore.

It was our local Dollarama (Ogilvie Rd, Ottawa). DW says she saw a similar one at Giant Tiger (but without the hoop, so kind of like the Discovery Kids ones) for $3 both in Ottawa East and in Peterborough this weekend.

We also have these ones. O2 Cool is VERY compact for travel. about $8 at Sail.



Finally, DW remembers that Publix had some very nice ones down there, assuming you have transport offsite while there.

If you live in the area check the Wal-Mart at Steeles/Markham, They had them when I was there in June.

eta: In the camping section.

I also bought the Discovery Kids misting fans. Got mine at Shoppers Drug Mart, but also have seen them at Giant Tiger, Lawtons, and Winners. Haven't used mine yet, we go in September
