Fat Boy Bean Bags
Hey All,
I'm driving over to Dubai from Muscat this weekend and while I'm there want to try and buy a Fat Boy huge bean bag or something equivalent, as I cant find anything here.
So, who can point me in the right direction? I think I've seen them in Virgin but you have to order them; really want something I can take back on the day.
As I said, it doesnt have to be Fat Boy, any shops that sell decent quality giant bean bags will do.
Also, on the subject of shopping - where is the best place to buy health supplements (amino acids, flaxseed oil etc) - again naf all in Muscat.
Cheers!

I got one from ACE but you will need to change the filling. It comes full of fine straw, and it goes saggy!

Re: Fat Boy Bean Bags
You can get large 'Fat Boy-style' beanbags in some Carrefour branches, although I would have a little doubt over their quality.....

Re: Fat Boy Bean Bags
indeed - and they sell the big bags of polystyrene balls for 75aed, although I would imagine you'd need 2 or even 3 bagfuls (2 to fill it and a third to top up when it goes limp...)

Re: Fat Boy Bean Bags
Bit late on posting to his, but was going to suggest GNC for your amino acids, flax seeds etc.
Having said that, managed to find flaxseeds ( brown and white ) in our local Carrefour.
Don't really like GNC on the whole, but they seem to do a wide-ish range of stuff.
