Shopping/ buying of commodities serve as a form of diversion from the routine of life. Shopping has diverted from its original meaning of purchasing things that a person needs, but rather it is not seen as a form of recreation and entertainment. This activity provides sensory stimulation, and it also allows an individual to learn about the new trends, product innovation, fashions that is happening.

Besides its entertainment value, it is often use as a form of self enhancement by acting as an emotional arousal and mood management mediator. It is also seen as a part of the socialization process, where people meet with peers, people who have similar interest and it also a form of getting much needed attention.
