Even Retirees Are Doing It

While on a cruise ship the last two weeks, I was lucky to have 9 days totally at sea to rest, relax, read, meander, daydream, snuggle with my new husband and, of course, SHOP. Yes, there were tons of tropical treasures to buy, and as you probably guessed, souvenir T-shirts to bring those destination memories home. Because I work at an apparel company, gift shops are magnets to me, to see which styles they're carrying, brands they choose, the imprints on the garments, and how they are marketing and pricing their shirts.
