If you want something special, you should think carefully before you make your choice.
Maybe a shirt or two from his or her favorite store or some nice perfume. Throw in a picture frame with a picture of you and you friend in it to have a meaningful gift. Also consider hobbies. For example, if he or she likes animals, give a gift that has something to do with animals.   Ask other people who he or she is friends with what they got him or her and try to get ideas from their gifts.
In my opinion the best thing to do is to talk to a friend about the thing which may be useful and pleasant.  If you want to do it secretly you had better think it over and over.  To my mind, a present shouldn’t be expensive and trendy. it must be useful.

My parents do most of the shopping in our family.
2. They usually do their shopping at the supermarket where they buy all the food we need for our family.
3. They usually do it once a week.
4. As for me, I like window-shopping. If something catches my eye and is good enough I usually buy it.
5. You see, shopping is a kind of pastime and even entertainment for me.
6. Nevertheless, I consider everyday shopping boring.
My mum buys foodstuff and clothes, while my dad buys everything related to technology: computing,satellite TV and so on. I am occasionally asked to buy something uninteresting like bread and dairy products. I am rarely asked about my opinion on the things to buy. I think it’s unfair!

How much is it?  What does it have inside? Does it have an access to the Internet?]]> 2016-03-11 10:01:14 UTC https://padlet.com/nastyamartyk19/i5srng0btjth/wish/100419301 nastyamartyk19 https://padlet.com/nastyamartyk19/i5srng0btjth/wish/100638131
It is rather a tricky question, in my opinion, as for different people shopping means different things: it may be a household duty, a favourite leisure activity or something else. For most men it is an ordeal, they can hardly bear more than twenty minutes in any shop and prefer doing any kind of hard work to accompanying their wives or girlfriends in a boutique or a supermarket. For women shopping for clothes, toiletries or jewelries is a kind of entertainment, they can spend hours choosing a T-shirt or a pair of shoes, trying them on or even window-shopping.  
Shopping for food is less exciting but may be more essential. One can choose between small groceries and big food shops, chain stores and supermarkets. In contrast to small shops they are more spacious and well laid out, with the goods arranged tidily and attractively on long lines of shelves and in refrigerator units. A bewildering multitude of signs, posters and advertising displays draw the attention of customers to this or that product or "special offer". Because of their big size big stores are able to offer a much wider selection of good than their small competitors and at a lower price. So they are large, efficient, well organized and modern but at the same time somewhat soulless and impersonal. Nevertheless very few people feel nostalgic about the time when there were neither supermarkets nor food on the shelves of local shops.

The city doesn’t offer such a range of goods as major Russian cities like Moscow or St Petersburg and it doesn’t have all the chain stores that are likely to be found elsewhere in Europe, but on the other hand, Baranovichi offers nice places that you won’t find anywhere else. There still are some shops which practice an older way of shopping. First, you choose the product and pay for it and get a receipt. Finally you leave the receipt and get what you paid for. Most shops however left that system many years ago. There are two big stores on the city’s main street Prospekt Sovetski and not far away from the main street there is the Korona market.]]> 2016-03-14 07:52:04 UTC https://padlet.com/nastyamartyk19/i5srng0btjth/wish/100706896
