Flea markets are not always places to find antiques. Many flea markets feature local artists who are selling their wares as well as people selling items from stores that have gone out of business. For many people, this makes visiting flea markets fun because you never know what you are going to find there. Many flea markets feature the same types of items on a regular basis because they rent out their vendor areas to the same people for an entire season. If you like finding unique items every time you shop you may need to go to several flea markets to find the kinds of items you like the best.

Lingerie is a great gift item, but only if you really know the size of the person you are buying for. Telling a sales girl that you are looking for a size like hers rarely works. It is embarrassing for a lady friend to receive lingerie that doesn’t fit because she will have to return the item and you’ll probably never get to see the item on her. Stick with what you know and only buy lingerie if you know the size that you need.
