Before, we went to work. Now, we go to shop.
With Ireland’s booming economy and America’s flagging currency it has become a recent Irish ritual to make a brief trip State-side to stock up on bargains in time for Christmas.
This year, a few members of my family are joining the temporary exodus and heading to New York City early in December and I’ve been landed with a question that is both exciting and torturous – do I want anything while they’re there?
So I’ll throw this question to the floor for suggestions – what should I put on my US wish list that is either impossible to find here in Ireland, or far cheaper on the other side of the Atlantic? So far I’ve been thinking in terms of games – namely some DS titles, maybe even a DS Lite – and some other vague ideas relating to unusual runners or t-shirts.
So – lend me your advice!
(Just for the record I just got a laptop and I don’t want an iPhone – anything else I’m open to suggestion on)
