    Honey Mustard salad dressing, A1 steak sauce, Louisiana shrimp sauce, Jack Daniels BBQ sauce, fluff marshmallow spread, peanut butter M&M's, huge bags of Jolly Rancher's, Reeses peanut butter cups [sick] for our son, special K for our daughter in law, fabric softener dryer sheets, zip lock bags, towels, bedding sets, all the ususal clothing items that are so much cheaper stateside including 9 pairs of crocs on our last visit for work colleagues!

    I'm sure there are lots more regular buys that I can't even remember at the moment but if they ever open our cases at customs they'll think we've gone mad.

    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.[msnwink]
