I would like to know something that people likes taht can be sold in
malls other that jewellary or cloths

Hello arhab-ga,

  Your question is very intersting, but I
  do not think it has a definite answer.
  In particular, the "best," or most
  profitable, item depends on when and 
  where the mall is.  For example, some
  items might sell better in different
  seasons.  Also, sometimes an item might
  become a fad and experience great demand.

  Still, it is possible to think about product
  categories, other than jewlery and clothes,
  that might sell favorably.

  Here is a discussion of item sales at the
  Mall of America:

  About.com has a nice list of links to
  retail sales figures.  For example, here
  is a site showing monthly sales figures
  for many retailers:

  I hope the above information helps you!

Hi arhab-ga,

  Everybody likes to smile.  If
  you can make people smile with
  your funny items, then I'm sure
  people would buy them!  :-)

Food items seem to sell briskly in malls.
