What should I buy in US?

[Anantara]

I'm off to Boston for a wedding, inspired from the France buying trips is there anything I should get while I'm there? I thought Crest Whitening strips, although I think I need more info on them as there are different strengths. Anything else?

I'd stock up on (because they're cheaper than here or not available) Essie nail polish, Clinique mascara, antibiotic cream, Peppermint Patties and Goldfish crackers. Bath, Body and Beyond handwash (smell amazing though not eco) Also Old Navy t-shirts, Banana Republic tops, shoes from DSW.
Those are the things I miss since moving back from the US. Have a great trip!

If it was me I’d be buying Banana Republic jeans (still wearing one of two pairs I bought two years ago on a trip - wash brilliantly, so flattering!), Essie TLC colours (basically their version of Nail Envy but in the U.K. only available in coral pinkish colours, there in loads of others) and - if I was feeling flush - I’d hunt down a Coach outlet and buy a gorgeous new handbag. Last time we were out my MIL got a gorgeous brown leather bucket bag reduced from $600 to $100. I couldn’t justify the cost at the time but every time I see her with it I get handbag envy!

Also Crest 3D White Brilliant toothpaste. It’s brilliant stuff and the U.K. equivalent is nowhere near as strong. And Pepperidge Farm Milano cookies.

Have an amazing time!

J Crew clothes are about half the price in the US

J Crew, Lululemon, Coach all typically 30 - 50% less than in UK. Also head to a pharmacy, I stockpile ibuprofen (you can get a massive tub of 300 for about $15/$20 and then often buy one get one half price), cold and flu stuff, toothpaste etc.

Thank you so much, your suggestions are perfect! I'd forgotten about antibiotics my DS always gets earache on holiday from swimming, so guess I may be able to get some. I didn't realise crest did a whitening toothpaste too, need to take a lightly packed case!
