you could probably take the airtrain to jamaica to LIRR to penn station, manhattan in less than an hour

I like this idea the best! Go into Manhattan and go to Macy's. And if you REALLY need the mall experience, there's always the "Manhattan Mall" one block west of Penn Station at 6th Avenue and 32nd St.
