Cost Plus World Market
Just got back from a quick trip there over my late lunch, to pick up pressies for the in-laws. Very pleased to see they now stock McVities Digestives and choccie ones too. And McVities fruit shortbreads. And Penguin bars!!! 
And Cadbury's Fingers. I checked on the back and they say they're made in the UK. I hope this trend continues. Now I can add this place to the list, along with Trader Joe's, as the places I could quite easily bankrupt us. 
Don't know if they've had the recent additions for a while or not, it takes quite a lot of willpower on my part to stay away from there! Spent just shy of $100 there... and over half of that is for us!
