our 169 euros after we gave the bank $240.

Some shops I found and their websites that were more than happy to count my Euros for me.


This store Noukies was fun to go into. Everything was as soft as our "soupies" they had a darling character for a little girls room that was a Indian girl that was so darling. This was a fun store to go into and so is their website.



Obaibi - Annie Kate got the most darling little chocolate brown dress here,(kind of looked like this) and the girls some 5 Euro t-shirts that are so soft. I regret not getting more school clothes for Annie Kate here. Here and I had a total blast shopping in her together, she was giddy and fun.

Petit Bateau. - this was a find! Then I come home and see they have stores in the northeast. Surprisingly the prices are much more here in the U.S. I got some t-shirts for me and some matching ones for the girls, here. They don't have these ones on the US site. I also figured out that Olive Juice sells their underwear for little girls and AK actually has a pair. OJ has great summer sales on them.

La Cure Gourmande - this could possibly be one of my favorite shops I went into. It was like Willy Wonka with a French twist. It had cookies everywhere, candies and "Choupettes" (which my girls learned were lollipops) We each got one and they were heaven on a stick. I don't know if they ship to the US but the packaging alone is amazing!

Oliver Grant - we saw this store in Strassburg. I kept trying to convince Jeff to bring home a tie and this would have been the place to to it. Their store windows were awesome.

On my charm hunt from each country I found a store in Garmisch that sold these charms by Thomas Sabo. I didn't love them individually but the bracelets looked awesome when they were covered with them.

Strollers. We saw some awesome strollers and if I would not have been pushing my own I would have photographed them all. Most of them I think are from Europe but I have seen many appearances of them in larger cities here in the U.S. Here is a website with the brands we saw.
This green Quinny one was my favorite.
We saw a lot of these too. Stokke

There are some pretty cool strollers out on the streets! I see some fancy ones here, but couldn't imagine spending that much on one, but they're are fun to look at! Love all the shops, so fun! Hope you got something for yourself :)

I saw those strollers all over England when I was there last. I love them. It is hard to imagine spending nearly a thousand dollars on a stroller though! If only I could win the lottery! :)

I'm just catching up on all your trip blog entries...


It looks like you had an amazing time, and you did such a great job documenting it all!

I'm going to be 'brave' and say I don't like the Stokke Xplory. I've seen a few around here and it always looks like someone's taking their pot plant for a walk!

European children's shops are GORGEOUS!! Someone gave Erin some Ducky Beau clothes as gifts when she was a baby (Dutch).

I'll enjoy clicking on all your links! Thank yoooo!

There is so much to see! It's hard to know what to buy on a trip like that because you don't want to be weighed down by it and you're not sure of sizes and prices, but then you get home and think "Oh, I should have bought that!"
