Icon6 Personal fans?

Okay I looked at Walgreens.com, Target.com, and walmart.com. Since we're going at the end of May, I wanted to pick up those personal fans you hang around your neck, or the spray ones. Either or. But now I can't seem to find them. I looke o n Google, and on Deb's site, and it doesn't say WHERE to get them... I want to get a bunch before I go, and I know they're like $2-3... but where do you get them from?

Re: Personal fans?

We bought a handful last year from Walmart. They were in the area by the paint and tools. Last year when we lost power during two of the Hurricanes here in Florida, they really came in handy.

Re: Personal fans?

I bet you'll see them in the next month. Check the area at Walmart where pool supplies are slowly going in.

At which do you work? CVS or Walgreen's? Just so I don't have to hunt down both :)

And do you all suggest the spray bottle fan (do they have straps)? Or just the little ones you can hang around your neck?

Re: Personal fans?

Wal-Mart almost always gets them out around this time of year for $1.00 (without batteries) and they work great!

If you can't get them beforehand, we picked up ours at a Publix in Kissimmee/Orlando on the way to WDW. They were a little more expensive (like $4-$5) but also seemed to be a little better quality. The bigger ones with a huge spray bottle attached were pretty pricey, probably cuz of the tourists. (About $12 I think.)

Definitely consider getting a spray one...OMG those things work wonders in the Florida heat.
