Since we are going to Asia, I would like to save money to be able to buy something really nice there.
1. We'll be in Japan, so I will make a day trip from Kyoto to Toba and visit Mikkimoto Pearl Island and buy some definitely authentic, high-quality Japanese pearl jewelry directly from the sourse (with substancial savings). Also seems a great opportunity to pick up nice gifts for mom and mother in law.
2. I want a nice piece of asian art for our apartment, and want to have some money allocated for this in case I happen to see one.
3. My skinny husband can pick up some good quality clothig at a nice price while there. He has trouble with clothing in the US, as anything with his neck size tends to be made for someone 40 pounds heavier.
I like unique/unusual things, and when there is a place and memory attached to them, even better. Plus, there is an allure to having something that is not sold where you are.
Putting breaks on personal shopping until July!
