One of my favourite parts of going on holiday abroad happens before I even travel. At the airport, I love nothing more than browsing duty-free and treating myself to something nice. Even when I’m treating myself I still like to get a good deal. Destination2 have written this handy tips to duty-free shopping article that’s well worth a read.
Here are some tips I like to follow when shopping duty-free.
- Do you research before hand, have something in mind that you would like to buy. If you are buying gifts keep a handy list on your phone of who you want to buy for.
- Check online comparison price sites to make sure you are getting the best deal before you buy.
- Make sure you know the duty-free allowances and limits. What might seem like a bargain could get you a lot in trouble with customs.

I usually treat myself to a new bottle of perfume or body lotion, or even sometimes both. A few years ago I wanted to treat myself to some top end make up brushes but I couldn’t find any anywhere 🙁 Clearly a gap in the market though it was a few years ago so maybe things have changed.
