Why is it that everything seems to be half price in America? I have lost count of the number of times I have searched for my latest idea e.g. a bamboo parasol, found two sites offering them for $6.99 (£4.44) and so I get excited because even on ebay they are £8.99 but alas, they do not offer international shipping…….excitement is crushed. 

However, I have found a site that could potentially banish all my ‘I want to buy it in America’ woes - Bongo International. Could this be the answer to all bridal needs? After all, sites like Save On Crafts and The Knot offer all that I desire and more, plus, think of the added bonus of ‘accidently’ slipping in a few J.Crew and Victoria Secrets purchases! 

Hmm, on second thoughts, it is potentially lethal for me to merrily shop my way around American sites ‘for the wedding’. 

For the more self restrained of you though this may well be a money saving site.
