What can you buy cheaper in New York?

My son's girlfriend is going to New York next week. She asked if I needed (?!?) anything.
Last time she went I asked her to get me a Fossil watch that cost £40 instead of about £65 here.
I don't have lots of spare money to send her with, so won't be getting my iPod just yet, but is there anything that I should be asking for that's loads cheaper over there?
All suggestions welcome.

Do not allow the risk of failure to stop you trying!

With the good exchange rate at the moment its hard to go wrong. With designer clothes your always on to a winner or trainers or electronics if you make sure they are compatiable here.0

Cosmetics.
They are def cheaper out there - so perhaps a good time to stock up on some perfume, and some of the other bits n bobs.
I know my other half did ... and apparently it saved ME some money ... :rolleyes:One day I want to be the pigeon...... and not the statue!0 -
It's always cheaper not to buy something than to buy something you don't really need0
