Presents from America - what would you ask for?

[Silver Fern]

My dh is going to the states next week for work and has asked me what I'd like him to bring back.......and my mind went blank!
I'm not a fan of Ugg boots or into designer labels so apart from sweets for the kids I'm at a loss but don't want to miss out on what could be a great opportunity!
It's a lovely dilemma I know but help!!! :lol:

 

[An*Gel]

How about a new bag?.. I'd be asking for one of those.. I'd get him to take a pic on his phone and send it before he gets it. OR a new Guess watch .. OR some fab new MAC makeup

Pastrys. Without a doubt.

We got a few pairs in the sale for $19 each. They were old styles in the US, but they hadn't come out yet in the UK. When they did they were around £65 here. Bargain. We filled our cases lol.

My sister brought me back brown timberlands when she went to NY, they also were practically half price, she also got me a starry macy's bag and a NY Nail File

Skechers shoes are much cheaper in the U.S. and the range is far greater.

If dh is going to California, don't forget to ask him to bring back some Ghirdelli chocolate ... it's the best!

What an opportunity !!!!!!
Levi jeans (get a model number beforehand) are about £20 in the US.
Make up is about half price (I stock up on mascaras)
Abercrombie & Fitch .............anything ! (Again, get a model name or number from the website beforehand)
If you're feeling brave..............you could ask for something from the Apple store - ipod, laptop etc. All a good bit cheaper than here.
I could go on, but I'm off to check out flights :smack:
