One of my colleagues once stated matter of factly that women DO NOT need a reason to shop.
I protested, but didnt have much support. Well, to have a reason to shop came by a few days later.
Christmas celebrations in office saw a couple of stalls set up by a non profit organisation in the city.
Namma Angadi (meaning "Our shop" literally translated from Kannada) is a collective marketing network for traditional craft persons of Karnataka. An initiative of the Concerned For Working children, the network assists the craft persons to visualise a future for their traditional skills.
The Namma Angadi has an impressive product profile very reasonably priced.

Smart move for me to have bought the floral print kurta and the neatly stitched cloth bags.
To ensure that I had a "reason" to shop (for a "good reason"), I gifted fellow "non-reasonable" shoppers with these nice bags too.
Happy shopping people.
