I have to say that, as much as I love Hurghada, I do find that the shopping leaves a lot to be desired (unless you are into collecting papyrus, plaster Cleopatra heads and fake belts, in which case it is a shopping Mecca!)
Where I was located a couple of years ago - a medium-sized town in Latvia with about the same population as Hurghada - had a lot more choice of everything than you can find in Hurghada.
I think that this should change over time - I have high hopes for the new Senzo Mall in Magawish that is due to open in the summer. For the moment though, I can't wait until I visit Cairo in a month's time as people tell me that it's the only real option when it comes to buying things.
