The way to a man’s heart is through his stomach, but what about women? Most women love to shop; it may just be through the wallet. For the guys who to keep their other half happy, make it easier on yourself as well by taking her somewhere she can shop to her heart’s delight, and still not run you into the poor house.

There are many cities known for being shopper’s paradise, but unfortunately paradise is seldom cheap. Finding a cheap one though, is bliss. Bangkok heads the list, as the place to shop while still keeping some of your hard earned cash in reserve for other things. The malls in Bangkok are known for having great prices, but you may have to fight crowds to enjoy them. What draws many people to Bangkok are the markets, especially Chatuchak Market. Open only over the weekends, Chatuchak Market is well worth your time as it is one of the largest markets in the world, guaranteed to find anything you are looking for.

The bustling city of Hong Kong would be the next destination of choice. The low taxation in the city is a great motivator for making purchases as you peruse the street markets and malls. Open day and night for your convenience, the array of goods on display will catch any shopper’s eye. Jade is a big draw here, along with fine silks, and of course electronics that might even interest the men, dragged along to carry shopping bags.

Home of the tango, Buenos Aires is also known as one of the premier places to shop, especially if you’re interested in any type of leather goods. Purses, shoes, belts, or even leather jackets can be found at a fraction of the cost elsewhere, making women salivate at the thought of the bargains they can show off when they return home. The abundance of antique shops is delightful as well. The extended hours for shopping centres, guarantee opportunities to shop even if there are other sights you want to visit while touring
