So, are you ready for round two of holiday shopping hot spots? With the year blowing by us faster than you can say, "Fancy flamingos flock for fun in Florida," holiday shopping time is here whether we're ready or not. 

As a girl scout from wayyy back, I believe it's always better to be prepared, so consider this ongoing list my contribution to your shopping readiness. Armed with this insider info, you're sure to find everything you need to check off everyone on your list.

The last time we talked shopping for season's greetings we looked at cool outdoor spots. This time I'm going to give you the scoop on some outrageous outlet experiences. When it comes to designer duds at closeout prices, Florida delivers the best finds.

Start at Prime Outlets in Orlando. Everything you need to get everything you want , no matter who you are, is here in this great shopping destination. Set square in the center of Orlando's non-stop action, Prime Outlets is a great way to get a little shopping done during your vacay to theme-park land. And during the month of October, the mall is feeling charitable and helping you help the world with your shopping dollars. All month long, when you use Shop Pink Bonus Cards, not only will you get special deals, but a portion of the proceeds go to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation. So, you could give someone a Pink Bonus Card as an early holiday gift and when they use it, the Foundation will receive a gift. Now, that's a gift that keeps on giving.

If you're in North Florida you have to check out Silver Sands Factory Stores in Destin. This is the largest designer outlet in the nation! That means more than 100 different stores, all your favorite designer labels in one place. October is a great time to shop here as well. Throughout the month, if you bring $300 of same-day receipts for merchandise spent at Silver Sands to Shopper Services, you'll receive a complimentary, limited-edition print by Donna Burgess.

Happy shopping!
