| We had a trip to Costco last week (on OBT) and stocked up on our contact lenses, really worth while if you are members at Costco. Crocs are really BIG over there at the moment and got some of them too My daughter ALWAYS buys plenty of clothes , but what 15 year old doesn't given the chance....and the price we always like Steve & Barry's (Festival Bay), and enjoyed our trip to Winter Garden village (off the 429 toll rd).
Needless to say , sad to be home. |

| Hi
Yes must admit I like the kitchen gadgets, I brought a cheese slicer back as well as a few other things, on my return I was "showing off" my new gadget to my daughter, when she informed me that she had bought the same thing from Wilkinsons...............and it was cheaper !!
Oh well never mind..........

| My most absolute favourite thing to bring back in Barnies flavoured coffee. The smell and tast is heaven, I don't like starbucks as I don't take sugar and their flavoured coffees are done with syrup, but Barnies is all bean. I brought back 12 lbs on the trip at Christmas, and I have now people asking me to bring back some for them as well.
Also bring back the usual bebe sports, g-unit, applebottoms, dkny clothes. California salt, which again is so good, garlic and parsley rock salt. Jack Daniels bbq marinade and have brought back the odd comforter or two. |

| This is going to be a long list.
Clothes that goes without saying, I rarely buy any clothes here in the UK
I have just checked the clothes I have on as I type, and ever article of clothing other than by boots was bought in the USA
I picked up my complete outfit For a wedding here in June on our last visit.
Every kitchen gadget that I found interesting, every size of bedding have all been brought back with us
All the solar lighting for our garden came from Costco on OBT. The biggest article was a wooden swinging love seat that also came from Costco, they shipped it across for us in one of their container, along with two garden orniments a 12ft trampoline an adventure playground for our Grandchildren. Plus many other smaller items.
They charged us a very small fee, cannot remember exactly how much but was less than $50 took about six weeks before I received a phone call from our local Costco,saying our order was in their warehouse.
You have to spend a certain amount before they will ship the items.
Bruce tried to persaude them to ship other items bought from elsewhere, but they wouldn't
I don't blame them wasn't company policy, but was worth a try. |
