GUIDE
The Reykjavík
Grapevine’s Best Of
Shopping Bag
Keep your spirits high as the darkness sets in
with a little consumer therapy
Words: Catharine Fulton Photos: The Internet
Can you believe it’s autumn already? It feels like just yesterday we
were filling our shopping bag with Icelandic designer goodies to
augment our summer vacation. Now we’re blowing our budget back-
to-school shopping for the kids, looking ahead to the winter holiday
gift-a-palooza and window shopping for some goodies to deliver a
much needed serotonin boost as the summer days give way to long
winter nights.
We’ve scoured the shelves of our certified Best™ places to shop in
Reykjavík and put together this shopping bag that’s a little for us,
a little for loved ones and a lot for your own shopping inspo. Spend
wisely, friends.
