Quite fancy some suede boots (he says footwear is particularly cheaper out there) but I need pictures (to print off for him) What else is a better price out there?

Ah now make up/beauty products would be beyond him, even with pictures He says he will go shopping whilst he is there, but if it's technological, he is rubbish

Infact the last memorable present he bought back from somewhere for me was a disgusting lovely peach coloured salt lamp. Thankfully it has the wrong plug adaptor so it has been relegated to his office!

Have a look on the Urban Outfitters website.
They have some great stuff and its MILEs cheaper in the US.

ooh Squirdle your dh is going to the states?!!
Can you ask him if he sees one of these could he get it for dd please?
Shame you couldn't make last night too, I ended up getting smacked in the knee with a hockey ball so would have rather been eating curry instead!

If he is going to a larger city, I would say Steve Madden.
I really like these in grey, but it comes in a few other colours.

I would also say have a look at Abercrombie and Fitch. It is highly over-rated, but I actually had to wait in a 20 minute queue at the London shop just to get in to buy a coat dh wanted.

Worth buying and flogging on Ebay if you don't end up liking it. Their kids stuff is cute too.

sugarmatches · 11/01/2008 00:23

Can they not order it lapin?
Bet they could if you went to the Covent Garden shop...
