    We go to Florida at least once a year and the things that I buy are cosmetics, perfumes and aftershaves, Tommy Hilfiger jeans and t-shirts for the kids and Hubby and Ralph Lauren clothing. I also stock up on things like Ibuprofen as I have arthritis in my knee and they sell the bottles of tablets that have 200 in them. I get them from Walgreens which is a sort of grocery/ chemist. The main places for shopping are Premium outlets, Prime outlets, The Florida Mall and Mall at Millenia if you do a search on these it will give you an idea of what stores are there

    If he has space and luggage weight allowance then bounce tumble dryer sheets are MUCH cheaper over there ($7.97 for 240 at Wal Mart), medical suppliers, including creams such as hydrocortisone and antibiotic/antiseptic cream, if you like crocs they are half the UK price most places, Nike from the outlet shops on the 192, there is a reebok outlet on I Drive, watches are generally cheaper over there, clothes esp jeans and T shirts, lots of things,. without knowing what sort of things you are thinking of it is difficult to be specific.

    I bought a nice Victorinox Swiss Army watch for £210 - UK price (online) is about £350. That was from Lake Buena Vista Factory Outlets.

    The FCUK shop in Premium Outlets had mega bargains - everything was massively reduced, and then 50% off again. I got some great shirts for about $25 each - down from about $80.

    Gap Outlets are just really really cheap... sweatshirts for a tenner, that sort of thing.

    I always get clinique as most things are half the prices.

    Oh and also in Walgreen you get a tub of 1000 Iberprofen for $19.99 so just over a tenner which is great value.

    You can then put them is smaller quantities in bags and leave them at work ect.
