Way back when I was just a little bitty boy living in a box under the stairs in the corner of the basement of the house half a block down the street from Jerry's Bait Shop.
You know the place.
You know the place.

Get the Jerry's bait shop mug.A rectangular tipped over fridge, filled with shops and is unfinished with only a quarter of a floor done and has been abandoned. A snide version of the metro centre but is worse due to it being incredibly unrealistic. Can be found next to the world trade centre, the shard and the empire state.

Get the Ushopp shopping centre mug.Da standard "please bear with me --- I'm not familiar with this type or purchase" preamble-remark dat you ruefully tell a store-employee whom you ask for assistance in finding/choosing one or more items dat you never use yourself, and so you have less of an idea of how to shop for it or maybe even where it's stocked in da store.
Two good examples of when you might tell a staffperson, "I'm shopping for someone else..." might be if you were looking for a type of media-entertainment (such as books, music, or movies) dat you have no interest in yourself, or if you merely lived a simple bachelor's existence and were procuring "fussy female stuff" items for a lady-friend, such as cosmetics, dress-up clothing, fancy table-setting accessories, etc.

Get the I'm shopping for someone else... mug.Gateway shopping is when you break down to buy "just one thing" after you told yourself you have to stop spending money. Much like breaking the seal when drinking, once you have purchased one item, you'll purchase five more items, spend money you don't have, probably will have buyer's remorse.
Me: I'm not going to spend any more money on leggings and purses. I have to buckle down and save money.
Also me: Ok I've got to go to the mall for just one thing - I need sandals and that's it. That's all I'm buying.
Also Me: Ok this purse looks really with the sandals, but I like that purse too - two purses won't be a big deal. It's just Coach...
My friend: It looks like those sandals sucked you into gateway shopping - you broke the seal!
