    Hi All,

    Im heading to the states soon on holidays (Vegas and NY), and Im wondering where is the best place to shop? Im interested in picking up some perfumes (chanel) and maybe a tablet, ipod touch, make up and sunglasses. Is it better to buy in the airport before I go? Airport before I leave USA? or just in the states?

    Mods not sure if this is righ place, move if required

    I wouldn't bother with the airports TBH. When I flew through JFK the shopping was nothing like what you'd see in Ireland or the UK.

    For make up and perfume you can't go wrong with Sephora. They have pretty much everything make up and perfume wise, apart from MAC.

    Raybans, Oakley, Michael Kors, Calvin Klein sunglasses will all be cheaper than here. Sunglasses Hut or department stores.

    Apple stuff, well the Apple Store! Also Best Buy. See which has the best offers etc when you're there.

    Agreed!, Sephora is brilliant, and try their own brand stuff too- like body sprays etc. Wish they had a store in Ireland!

    For your tablet, iPod and the likes try http://www.bhphotovideo.com in NY. Massive range and very competitively priced and you can check out the prices before you go on their website. Yes, Sephora is fantastic for makeup but check out the likes of Macys where there's ongoing promotions.

    I got the nicest Calvin Klein sunnies in century 21 for $17 when I was in NY 2 years ago, and they still do me great! They get me a few compliments :) it's quite TK-MAXXy so be prepared if you're going to go for a mooch, they sell Uggs too!

    And don't forget to bring your passport to Macy's to get a 10% off discount card :-)

    Enjoy your hol, very jealous! :)
