what I bought in chicago

I apologize for the lack of posts- I didn't have my memory card in my camera, so I couldn't take pictures. I want to show you some of the things I bought in Chicago, as well as tell you about some of the best stores we visited.

We went to Paper Source, which is a very cool store that sells notepads, stationary, pens, cute things and PAPER! Lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and- well, you get the point. I blew $12 on paper.

We also went to Ghiradelli and I bought 10 dollars worth of chocolate. There where flavors that I had never heard of before, like Carmel Latte, and Pumpkin Spice and Sea Salt. These two are the only ones I still have left ;)

The last place we went to was LUSH, which sells soap and bath bombs. It smelled really nice in there, and the staff where really nice, but you should take into account the names of the soaps where highly inappropriate (m might find that amusing, if she looked through the website...) I bought a bath bomb, and it smells fairly good. Like candy...

Okay... So heres a list of nice stores in Chicago (that you should visit):

Paper Source

If you are in Chicago (or any other place with a paper source store) you must, must, MUST visit there... the paper is beautiful and high quality, although expensive and the gifts are hilarious....... (if m and/or kaden are reading this, they should look at this... hilarious)



Argo Tea Cafe

When you are shopping for Christmas gifts on Michigan Avenue (a. k. a. The Magnificent Mile) and get cold, you should come here. It's just off of M A and the tea there is amazing! Don't make a special detour just to go there, but if you are passing it, definitely go! I had a pumpkin spice chai latte and it was amazing! I also bought some loose tea, and I love the Hibiscus Apple (which you can also buy online!)




LUSH

With this store, you can buy everything online, too. I loved the smell of there soaps/ bath bombs but remember what I mentioned... the names of soaps are gross. They give demonstrations of how the bath bamb and things work, and all in all, LUSH is an .......  interesting place.



Ghiradelli

Of course, you've probably heard of Ghiradelli, but their stores also serve ice cream, hot cocoa, and unique flavors. I recommend the pumpkin spice caramel chocolate... yum!



Of course, we visited other places, but those where my favorites.
