Just thought I would ask this here. What is the largest or most unusual item you have brought back from Florida?

I think my best to date is the Glider Chair and Ottoman. Craig tried to lift one of the gas grills in Lowes but it was just a bit too heavy!

There is soooo much more we would love to bring home but just too big or heavy or both!

Biggest thing we have ever brought home was probably the baby's high chair! Surprised

Most unusual? dunno really - but what about the most sad?!! Probably for me that would be the household spray cleaner called Mean Green!

Incidently, I got it from Walmart but could not find it last time (how sad is that! Shocked

Karl - we are talking most unusual from Florida here - not Amsterdam (unless you know something we don't)

We also brought home a full Travel System for Libby still fully boxed, it was funny watching them try and squeeze it through the x-ray machine!

We brought home some hot sauce for wings this time too and some Hot Chocolate which sadly is now all finished Sad .

Sainsburys now has Oreos so we don't need to bring them home.

Has anyone tried the Chocolate Chews in the bakery at Publix? never tried to bring them home as they are too crumbly but they are yummy yummy.

I have bought home two of the 4ft silk trees from Walmart. We used a golf bag. Got thru security without being opened. There were $20.00 at the time and the same thing in the UK was £40.00 each. Very Happy

We also brought home some Smuckers Peanut butter. Its the natural stuff and you can't get it over here at all.

We also brought home a rather large hand painted picture from Disney. When it was boxed up it was a very awkward size and shape. We also brought home a bronze statue from Disney which was very heavy.
