Day 243: Gift Shopping in The Big Apple

Published by Suburban Wife at 6:47 pm under gifts, clothing, home, Daily $$'s

Actually posted on May 4 — still traveling but finally in a location where time and internet access are available at the same time.

My mom and I are in The Big Apple (aka New York City) visiting my brother, my sister-in-law, and my niece.  They live in Manhattan just blocks away from Ground Zero.

Today we spent some time doing the tourist thing — shopping for gifts and souvenirs for family back home.  Here’s what I found:

Kate’s Paperie — $5.42
A cool notebook for The Daughter.

cash — $0.75
A bottled water for my mom.

Borders — $10.78
A NYC guidebook.

Pearl River Mart — $53.07

  • A silk kimono which will be given as a birthday gift to Granddaughter #1 later this month
  • Eye Bod — a cool plastic eyeglasses holder shaped like a funny character — for The Son
  • Chinese Take-Out shaped lamp — for The Son’s room

street vendor/cash — $2.50
A Statue-of-Liberty-shaped refrigerator magnet — to add to our collection of fun magnets.
