Scottish shops reopen on Monday... what’s on your shopping list?

There are certain things I like to try before I buy so have put off purchasing for some time. On Monday I plan to buy perfume and a new lipstick.

What’s on your shopping list?

I doubt you'll be able to test lipsticks
There's nothing I need to buy when shops reopen on Monday that I can't get online or from the supermarket

I'm going to buy some bras.

Shops have been open in England for a week or two and I haven’t been to any!
I’m over going to the shops I think. I can get what I need online.
If I was going to go to a real shop though I’d be going to space nk! I love a trip there but the last time I went (last year sometime) it was a pita with the queueing and worst of all I wasn’t allowed to even touch anything with my hands to even read the back of products or prices, anything I was interested in had to be requested from the shop assistant and they had to pick it up and show me - on the one hand it was a wonderful 1:1 personal shopping experience! They are so lovely in my local one. On the other hand it took away what I really love which is a good old root around, looking and sniffing all the stuff (masks!), just totally took away the enjoyment and realised I was better off just browsing for what I might like online.
Happy shopping though, don’t want to take the shine off your excitement, sorry Blush I just think it’ll be a long while before I venture to the shops myself again!

I know I won’t be able to try the lipstick but have ordered a few in lockdown and so much different in person v on a screen.
Perfume I like to sniff first.

On the upside meeting a friend for brunch so even if I only brave house of Fraser I still get to see a pal.

I need bras and undies but really don’t want to wait in a massive primark queue on the first day it reopens so might let the dust settle a bit and continue to squeeze into what I already have 😆

Clothes and some wooden toys from my favourite independent childrens shop.
Planning a second hand bookshop trip as well.
