Duty Free Shopping

We all have done it while waiting 30mins or 5hours till your flight to your destination or back home - Duty free shopping. I am not sure about you, but for me, (and I am sure most woman would agree) that shopping is one of our forte.
When it come to stores in the airports, there is duty free shopping. Yes tax free shopping how great! You get some great discounts (and not to mention some free tasting/drinking before purchasing). I absoloutely love duty free shopping.
Whether its just to get a bar of chocolate beause I am peckish or if I feel like a rich bitch I'll buy something with a fashionable brand engraved on an item (of course I make a limit!). Stylished displays, Tiger Woods convincing body language, mesmorising me to buy a Tagheuer watch...or is it something else?

White tiled floors, and hypnotising colourful signs, drawing me in to gawk of what the store is offering. The range of fragrances, electronics, foods, drinks, cigarrettes, designer brands, bags and local souviners.

Not necessary to buy things (on impluse and if your bank account allows you to), its fascinating to go into duty free stores. Its amusing to shop there as you know you most likely find an item in your destination or when you touch down at home.

I am a sucker for duty free things. Then, on top of what I've already brought at the airport, theres Sky Duty Free Shopping in the plane. Eversince I have travelled whether with family/friends or my own I always look through the
flight shopping magazines to see what I could get on my way back home. I have a small collection of "duty free" items at home. Some in use or still in it's box, because "its just so nice to look at...." Yes I will use them... I will.

Sometimes you just need to be considerate in what you do buy at duty free. We all have read in-flight magazines of the limit of liquids/cigarrettes etc and aiming to stick to the limit of 'put into the cabin space storage.' It can be convinient and nice to buy items that are compact and small i.e. travel perfumes/lotions. That way you can bring it next time on your travels and so forth.
Sometimes good for 'emergency' because you packed your item in your checked-in bag and you just 'can't live without it.'

There is also the last minute duty free, after you have landed in the airport before reaching customs.... Now that too is tempting, considering
I don't have 8 arms to hold my hand carry and 7 bags of duty free...(okay I exaggerated the 7 bags). Duty free shopping is like a buffet. You get to hoover over things you want, eat (for this instance, buy) and once you feel 'full' well in other words all duty free shopped-out..,.you don't want to look at another item to buy and get sick of duty free... for a while.

Asides from 'some' impluse buying, I normally have a look at what I want and then buy it later. If I like something from the inflight magazine, I plan
on getting it and then on my last leg of my journey..if I still want it, unless I got something else better then I won't.

Whoever invented duty free shopping you are awesome! I don't know what Airports will be like if duty free did not exist???..Wait...bored shitless. Without
duty free stores....airports will look mundane to visit/wait/transit in. Boring.

Thank gosh for Duty Free Shops.
Oh...there's a lovely Dior bag......
