Inside Angelina Jolie's London Toy-Shopping Spree With Shiloh & Zahara!
It was a ladies' shopping date for Angelina Jolie and daughters Zahara and Shiloh Jolie-Pitt on Monday morning in London where she taught them two attributes important for any celebrity child who will one day inherit millions — how to share and how to keep to a somewhat-modest budget.
Angie brought her two daughters to the Toy Station shop in Richmond, London, where the girls picked out costumes and art supplies, and made sure not to forget about their four other siblings who weren’t lucky enough to join the threesome for the shopping spree.

“They liked the stickers and the Play-Doh and they were saying, ‘Mom, look at this — it’s really cool!’ ” Toy Station owner Karen Khatachik tells OK!. “She was asking them if the other children who weren’t with her would like different things she had chosen. She showed them craft-making sets and asked, ‘Would they like that?’”
Angelina mentioned the family was planning an upcoming trip and needed to stock up on goodies — especially art supplies, a favorite for the mom of six.
“They bought make-your-own soaps, make-your-own bracelets and Scratch Art,” says Karen. “It’s a blackboard and it’s done in a design with a gold foil underneath and you scratch it off and the image appears.”

The Jolie-Pitt kids are known for their love of dressing up, and bought multiple themed outfits, including a cowboy-and-gun set that Angelina said was for one of the three-year-old twins, pirate-themed tattoos and stickers and a Ben 10 superhero outfit.
“Ben 10 is a superpower boy character and he has a wristwatch and he gets aliens to help him,” explains Karen. “But his outfit isn’t like an alien, it’s just green trousers and a white T-shirt with a Ben 10 logo on it.”
Angelina has a knack for finding local toy stores wherever they’re traveling. They’ve already shopped at the Toy Station on two other occasions in London, where Brad Pitt’s shooting World War Z, and the family are regulars at Lee’s Art Shop in New York City when they visit.

Although budget might not necessarily be a concern for Angelina, who can make up to $20 million per film, when it came to spending she made sure to set limits — one bag to be exact.
“She did say, ‘I think we’ve got enough now’ after they had a bag full,” says Karen, who wouldn’t give specifics on how much Angelina spent but says the amount was modest. “I didn’t think they overly bought. They didn’t go to town with it or anything. She shopped like that last time she came. She chose a few bits to entertain.”
While Zahara and Shiloh likely had a pretty good day shopping with Mom, one person who was extra-excited about the encounter was Anya, the shop owner’s daughter.

“I introduced my daughter to her because my daughter was afraid to say hello to her the last time she saw her,” says Karen, who added that Angelina signed a card for the shop’s 15-year anniversary. “She told her that she was really sweet and her name was Angelina and she was very pleased to meet her.”
Talk about a nice day visiting Mom at work!
