    We found the converse shop at prime outlets to be really good value.Also things like trainers at the nike shop and watches from Fossil.Prime outlets is just off I4 quite near universal studios.If not it is premium outlets(i always get them mixed up but these stores are there).
  • anything Christmas related will be cheaper out there and gorgeous to boot !

    If you need any premium cosmetics or perfumes for gifts (Estee Lauder, Lancome, etc), they will be about 50% cheaper than here.

    the Nike outlet store on the US 192 is a lot cheaper than the one at the Belz Outlet.
    get him to find Find any Ross Dress for Less ( the us version of our TK MAX) the sotck is always different in every store they have knocked down designer clothing at real bargain prices, most are last seasons stocks but normally its stuff that hasnt even reached here yet. 10 to 20$ for 70 to 100$ original price tag.

    Buy your burger lunch at beufort burgers , across the road from mc donalds on international drive , they have to be tasted to be believed ,especially the crispy bacon ones . donalds is slop compared .
    nike trainers are very cheap at many shops , and a market type place at kissimee on the main highway is very good for discount trainers and luggage .
    modern Reebock trainers were £10.00 a pair
    and any handheld consoles or games (nintendo ds , psp ) are good value and all work here ,
  • Great north face shop at what used to be beltz at the end of international drive.Just came back in august I found this the best outlet also ralph lauren has to be worth a look.:j

    Is your brother going to Orlando?

    If he's going there, then at Universal there's a small Oakley store in the studios by the Jaws ride. You get an extra 10% off with a full annual pass. People who work for airlines also get 10% off Oakley at Orlando Airport. Can't think of any outlets though. Even full price Oakley is much cheaper than here.

    If you ask him for shoes make sure that you check your US shoe size as they are slightly different from the UK.
