Retail Therapy!



My name is Sonali and I am addicted to Harry Potter.

There, I said it, and with no intention of detoxing, either. Why I'm proud to be a Potterhead.

And I fell hook line and sinker for the marketing gimmick of a pop up Potter sale - visited it three times at the mall. I didn't buy any expensive items - sniffed out the most economical things on offer (fridge magnets and keychains) and bought them. Bought them because I wanted to. No rationalising, it wasn't rational!! *Ha*

Gifted one 'Hedwig' baby hairbrush to my Potterhead friend for his 11-month old son. Gifted two keychains to the cabbie for his daughters who are Potter fans (he's the regular cab guy I call for my eye check ups since the hospital is some distance from home). Gifted one keychain to my friend's niece for her birthday, gifted one fridge magnet to a Potterhead who is very regular at my meetings ... and gifted a 'love potion' fridge magnet to a core-group Potterhead.(Her husband said I shouldn't have, she might run away with another man upon taking love potion.). Three fridge magnets (one each of the golden trio) are as possible prizes in case I do a Potter event at school. One 'Hedwig' keychain is for my friend's Dad who loves owls.

And -- and three fridge magnets and three keychains are for ME.

I feel very, very good about this. So while I usually despair of consumerism and whatnot, today I say - viva retail therapy! *Rolling*
