swim wear - question for the ladies in the USA

In the spring, I want to treat Carol to a couple of new swimming costumes - we brought one a couple of years ago - had to get it off ebay in the USA as it was the original Budweiser logo and she looks great in it. Cannot purchase it all in the UK. However, are also looking for a costume / s with the American flag on it. Not tacky sort of thing, just nice and bright but not cheap if you understand me.
I cant locate anything in the UK at all - anyone in the USA or further afield any ideas please? web site URL's or something where I can just pay on my credit card so she wont know and then will get a great surprise, but can see what and if they have what am looking for and monitor the shipping.
Carol does trust me by the way - its not me looking at women - we both like the same sort of things and cost is not a concern. Just like to get her things every now and treat her.
Appreciate any directions on this one ladies .....

You are so busted!!

I think you can go online to Venus Swimwear. They make all kinds and the great thing is that the models are not all size 2 and you can mix and match tops/bottoms to proper size. I have bought many bikinis and one-piece from t hem over the years. They have been around for almost 20 years. I know they have a camoflauge pattern, so if you don't see what you need, then you can send an e-mail to them and they are very good at responding. They might even know right off the bat and their referrals would be reputable too.

Are you going to model it for us????

I told you it was an innocent enquiry - I knew I would be busted!!!! I cant get what she wants over here - anyway - its my credit card and if I cant spend it on my wife.... then who else??? dont answer that!!!!!
Thanks for the help - its embarrasing enough asking but i dont know where else to go !

I don't know how to put a link anywhere so if you want to copy and paste this has links to several different swimsuit lines.

I think it is great. Eric would never think up such a cool thing. She's a very lucky lady. Don't be embarassed, you should be quite proud of yourself.

Here is a line of patriotic patterned swimwear. It's a bit bright, but I don't know what you are looking for.

You didn't specify a style: one-piece, two-piece, bikini, tankini, thong or full butt coverage.

I think this one is appropriate, for all ages:

In a word - no. I just cant get what I want sometimes in the UK. Carol's swimsuit from budweiser could not be brought over here - we only saw it in one place in Richmond Mall in Ontario. Therefore, had to get one imported from the USA. Fun part though is the fact that no one has them over here - so Carol definately has one of a kind in the UK.

You can check out www.victoriasecret.com and www.newport-news.com for nice swimsuits. Not sure if they have the american flag logo on them but they did a couple years ago and they are nicely made.
