In person shopping

the department store music playing overhead - extra points if its jazz, warm interactions with other shoppers, befriending the cashiers, finding those treasures you never would have found online, going out for coffee after your shop, feeling so pleased you can support these local businesses because they make your day that much better

corner shops

noun (alternatively: a deli, a bodega) the backbone of the craving economy. u haven't felt truly perceived in the world if the owner of your local corner shop doesn't recognise you

WINDOW SHOPPING and general lallygagging

When I was in my hometown for the holidays, my sister and I were very bored and very broke. So, we started just walking into random stores and just looking around. Just lallygagging. It was actually way more fulfilling and relaxing than actually buying anything. Because we couldn't get anything, there was way less pressure and we could just enjoy looking at things. We started noticing things that normally we would pass by, driven by the purpose of a purchase. One day, we spent like 20 minutes smelling every single candle in the candle aisle at HomeGoods. Another day, we looked at the weird silverware and cups at TJ Maxx. We also frequented Half Price Books and skimmed old Microsoft Excel books from 2009 and Child Development books. Don't limit yourself to Target. Store recs: - TJ Maxx - Ross - Half Price Books - HomeGoods - Bed, Bath & Beyond - Dollar Tree - DSW - Tuesday Morning - Antique stores - Semi-abandoned malls
