It'll probably have "Mexicans" though. ;-)

As for serious suggestions of what to buy in the US, a lot of designer label stuff is a hell of a lot cheaper stateside if that's what you're into. Just be a bit careful of jeans as they seem to like them a bit more flarey than we like them this side of the pond.

Aye I have already spotted the levis store. Although I am also very tempted to buy a new phone from the nokia store...an N82 for Ł350. I had one but it's broken and being repaired.

Think i'm just being greedy!

More idea's! less retarded ones though.

Go to the Navy Pier and proper freeze your ass off. Some great views of the city from there though.

Oh shit!!! I just remembered. You absolutely have to, and I mean have to, go to a pizzeria called Lou Malnati's. It's a bit hard to find but it literally is the greatest pizza that you'll ever taste.

As for bargains, pick up Rock Band. It fits inside a suitcase without the packaging, and it's bloody ace.

That! But stay away from the peanut butter ones. Yuck. If you're buying electronics watch out that customs don't kick you in the balls. But yeah, clothing and shoes are a good idea, they are ridiculously cheap over here.

Drive to New Hampshire and buy them there I don't think they have sales tax.

I'm not driving anywhere here, there all nuts on the road. Especially the cabbies, it's like being in a real life version of crazy taxi sometimes!
