Retail Therapy in Bookham

Contrary to popular believe "Retail Therapy" is shopping with the primary purpose of improving the buyer's mood or disposition. Most often seen in people during periods of recession, depression or transition.

Items purchased during periods of retail therapy are often referred to as "comfort buys."

It was first used as a term in the 1980s with the first reference being this sentence in the Chicago Tribune of Christmas Eve 1986. "We've become a nation measuring out our lives in shopping bags and nursing our psychic ills through retail therapy."
