Husbands, right? It’s tough to live with them, and even tougher to shop alongside them. Thankfully, a brilliant idea has emerged in Shanghai: a husband nursery at the Vanke mall! Launched recently, this innovative space is quickly gaining popularity online as a clever solution to the all-too-common shopping squabbles that couples face.
Have you ever been in a store, only to hear your husband repeatedly say, “Do you really need that?” If you’ve felt the frustration, you’re not alone. If we were in China, we could leave our partners behind and leisurely ponder over that perfect wrap dress—or whatever item you’ve been eyeing. Plus, there’s no need to worry about keeping your husband entertained while you explore boutiques because this husband nursery is equipped with plenty of amenities.
Inside, you’ll find tables and chairs where your partner can enjoy a meal or dive into a book. They even have a TV and a fridge! And for the early birds, there might be a chance to snag a comfortable massage chair. Although the decor is quite minimal, for those who dread shopping, a cozy chair and a smartphone are all you really need. While it may not be as extravagant as a traditional American man cave, it offers just enough to keep your husband occupied.
Interestingly, the term “husband nursery” might not be the best fit, as our husbands aren’t exactly children (even if they sometimes act like it). In Chinese, it translates more closely to “husband storage room,” according to Mashable. Social media users have shared images of this relaxing haven, prompting one woman to ask, “Is there a wife nursery? I dislike shopping too.” Currently, there doesn’t seem to be one in the works, but I’m sure husbands wouldn’t mind sharing their new favorite hangout with bored wives.
However, it’s likely you won’t find too many women in this space. Research shows that men typically lose interest in shopping after just 26 minutes—hardly enough time to fully enjoy the experience. On the flip side, women can shop for up to two hours before boredom sets in, according to Psychology Today. The same source noted that 80% of men dislike shopping with their partners, with 45% avoiding it altogether.
So, having a designated spot for those who’d rather not shop makes perfect sense. If you have a day full of errands but need to swing by the mall, just drop off your husband and pick him up later without the usual disagreements. This husband nursery could very well be the best shopping innovation since online shopping took over our lives. If they added some beverages, it might just be the ideal addition to malls everywhere.
