Back by popular demand, we head out on our yearly holiday shopping trip. Our first stop is Woodfield Mall, which is the 5th largest mall in the United States. Surround yourself with fashion, food and fun with nearly 300 stores and restaurants. Woodfield Mall is home to Nordstrom, Macy’s, Lord & Taylor, J.C. Penney, Sears, and many specialty stores.
Our next stop (optional) is the Swedish retailer, IKEA, which offers a wide range of home furnishings at great prices. Featuring Scandinavian modern style furniture and accessories and offers everything for our homes: from storage options, lighting, décor products, kitchen, bathroom, outdoor items, and much more. After shopping, you can enjoy the amenities at our hotel (including pool, hot tub and exercise room) at the Quality Inn located in Schaumburg, Illinois. Several restaurants are located within walking distance of the hotel.
On Sunday, after our included hot breakfast buffet at Quality Inn, we travel to Chicago to do some old-fashioned Christmas shopping along Michigan Ave also known as the fabulous Magnificent Mile. Simply walking down this famous boulevard is a treat in itself especially during the holiday season when everything is decorated beautifully to embrace the season.
Here world class shopping awaits you, from art galleries, electronics, chocolatiers, men’s and women’s fashion, jewelry, and so much more. Enjoy the many boutiques that line Michigan Ave or one of the shopping centers such as The 900 North Michigan Shops or Water Tower Place.
Finish your day off by strolling over to Daley Plaza to visit the 24th annual Christkindlmarket, the largest German holiday market outside of Germany. This unique shopping experience offers a wide range of items including jewelry, clothes, ornaments, home décor, nutcrackers, and an assortment of sweet and savory foods. Afterwards, we head for home with both memories and our newly found treasures.
