What should I ask to be brought back from the States for me????

[Luxmum]

So, Mums going to South Carolina, ie not on a specific NY shopping trip, and asked me what I wanted...??? What do I want? What is cheaper there, or is not available here? Am a normal pear shaped mum with no major budget to blow, I dont need electrical goods or Rock the Republic jeans for $350... what should I ask her to bring back then?

Neutrogena anti-residue shampoo (that has been made illegal in Europe)

Teens and pre-teens adore all things Abercrombie & Fitch, especially anything with its logo plastered all over it.

If you're going high end, I'd ask for a Coach bag or a Dooney and Burke bag. A big one, too.

Oh, flannel sheet sets.

And just about anything from Pottery Barn.

Candles from Illuminations.

Dr. Bronner's liquid Castille peppermint soap.

the ones here are even worse, CD. they cost a bomb and make a teeny amount and no variety.

and sometimes, i just can't be arsed to make from scratch. i just want to bung it in one bowl, use the handmixer and make a lot.

oh, get some Izod bed linens. bliss!

i like advil, it seems stronger and helps me cope with horrendous period pain, plus last time i was there i got 500 for $8.99 so there.

douches, the yanks do love a douche.

laceless converse

excedrin

also coricidin if you have hypertension and get sinusitis a lot.

melatonin is OTC there.

oh yes

coach bags

i shipped one a couple of years ago

i've had my three Coach handbags for well over a decade and all three are still going strong.

also my Dooney and Burke purse.

I don't get the fascination with Coach - I think it's old ladyish.

Actually just had a look - some are nice. It's the signature ones I don't like which is waht friend got with matching shoes - bleurgh!

I@ve just looked at the coach website and though much the same GdG

oooh, I was in Charleston a few years back, it's heaven, Dead classy main drag there too, (King St I think) gorgeous shops - not your average US small town fluoro-lit crap.

ask for tea from teavana
and body oils from

bugger

have forgotten the name

be right back

Bath & Body Works.

That's the one

benefit, clinique, uggs if you wear them, origins, gap things, victoria's secret bikini knickers, wish I was going!!

Tylenol PM, miracle sleeping tabs that come in a bit tub!

Neutrogena triple moisture shampoo/ conditioner

Anything from American Eagle (bit like Abercrombie but cheaper and they allow black people in their advertising

Jewellery from Tiffany's

Anything Bath and Body Works

Pink clothing range from Victorias Secret

And if you're like me... any random drugstore items that you can't get here! I just love the packaging, the novelty and the much much cheapness!

Wish they had a Eurotunnel to America... I'd go three times a year.

Gap, Banana Republic and Old Navy are half price in States - you can view it all on line first and even try on in the stores here to get right size

Anthropologie stuff
Clothes, shoes, bedding, anything...
