Wrap It. Ship It. Stamp It.

It’s true that you shouldn’t wrap your gifts before heading through the security checkpoint.  But did you know that you can buy wrapping paper, gift bags, cards and tape on the concourse?  You’ll also find stamps. And did you know that you can purchase items at RDU and have them shipped so you won’t have to carry them aboard your flight.

Electric Skateboards Available in The Shops of RDU*

Perhaps the hottest tech item of the season is available in multiple locations at The Shops of RDU. Electric skateboards, sometimes referred to as hoverboards, can be found in four stores in Terminal 2. The boards are similar to segways, but without the handle. Ask the store about shipping.

Where to find it: Hudson Booksellers (Terminal 2, Concourse Entrance); Hudson News/Discover (Terminal 2, D10); Kidsworks (Terminal 2, Concourse Entrance); Shaw News (Terminal 2, Concourse Entrance).

Sidewalk Sale Planned

From December 17-29, find great stocking stuffers and gifts throughout The Shops of RDU during our end-of-year sidewalk sale. Merchants from throughout both terminals will have featured items on tables located just outside their shops.
