America and the world have their eyes on the political world this week, now that Obama is President, but British devotees of shopping should have all eyes on Bloomington, Minnesota; home to shopping deals galore!

Whilst most people think President�s Day is tomorrow, it actually celebrated on 16 February, as a Public Holiday, and is one of the biggest shopping days in the shopping calendar, with major sales and exclusive discounts available at the Mall of America!

The Mall of America is largest enclosed retail, dining and entertainment complex in the USA. Top-notch shopping, thrilling family attractions and great dining options are all within 4.2 million square feet that has become affectionately known as the "Mega Mall�; and best of all its TAX FREE on clothes and shoes!

Anchored by Bloomingdale's, Macy's and Nordstrom there are 520 Mall of America stores to explore. Many flagship retailers can be found including Abercrombie & Fitch, Victoria�s Secret, The Gap and Banana Republic. When you take a break from the shopping, you can easily find a cosy restaurant or fun lounge to rest your feet before exploring the many �one-of-a-kind� shops like QVC @ the Mall, Department 56, Lake Wobegon USA or the The Lego Store.
