Need some help guys; Need to find chinese laterns by 3pm today!

Hey,

I need to find a place that sells those red chinese laterns today by 3pm. It's for my scouts, it's one of the items they requested I pick up before I head up to camp today.

I tried pier 1 imports and they had nothing.

Are there places in china town in oakland? This would be on my way up to camp, and would I like to avoid doing to SF to get these damn things.

Thanks!

man i was going to say SF. Probably your best bet. If you go in the middle of the day you should be able to float over to the city in like 15 minutes from oakland.

cost plus world market has them. if you go to the cost plus world market in fremont (by gelato classico, olive garden) that's the outlet center. you may find them for cheap. if not go to the one in fremont hub.
