First of all would be books because I love reading, followed by hair accessories and necklaces.

I'm always buying things for my PS3. Or I'm buying headphones.

Books (though I do buy them very rarely), cool pens, nail polishes and perfumes.

Instruments. Because I need to be sure it works properly and feels right I have to try every one in the store. :D

Music stores hate me though, I often go in, try everything and buy nothing. D:

Which brings me to customer service. I usually buy skincare stuff and makeup from drugstores rather than standalone stores for each brand, the exception being The Body Shop. I feel nervous about going into a standalone store which is smaller (and hence easier for the staff to see what I am looking at) and then leaving when I don't see anything I want to buy at that point.

From my experience, service at The Body Shop is consistently good whether you buy anything or not. That's why I feel more free to walk in and just look around.

Lots of things...

Anything relating to my special interest, stationary, books (although I don't read much - what happens when you have a house full of books but don't allow your children to read them!), pretty things, cupcakes, and things to make me smell/look/feel nice :)

Parts, materials, supplies, gadgets and do-dads!

I most enjoy having a project going and then doing the online searches and shopping for whatever I need to keep working on it -- I am presently building a wheelchair-accessible sidecar for a motorcycle ...

... and my most-troubled times are when I do not have enough money for getting the stuff I need or when somebody else tries to say whatever I am doing is not even possible (and I already have it figured out, of course).

Books, but I never actually buy books in bookstores any more. The discounts on Amazon are too much to resist for someone without a job.

Shopping for anything else is a bore.

Oh! I like shopping for shirts

I don't like shopping for shoes but I do like shoes

I like shopping for books if they will let you read them in the store

Candy

Bargains. :heart:

Beer (especially the more extreme craft-type stuff). CDs. Holidays. Nice food. Things of that nature.

closely followed by vinyls

closely followed by anything DIY

It generally refers to beer made by a brewer that is small, independent, and traditional. This sums it up rather nicely and creates for the association a way to talk about what they're talking about.

So eclectic beers produced by small microbreweries with a superb taste. We have thousands of microbreweries here in the UK but a lot of their output is very similar to one another, so that's not the kind of stuff I'd want. I'm more into IPAs, imperial stouts/porters, old ales, saisons and so on.
