You might think “seen one Disney gift shop, you’ve seen ’em all.” And, honestly, that’s often true. But when it comes to shops in the World Showcase pavilions of Epcot, you really never know what you’re going to find!

The beautiful containers also make lovely decorations, I think. Some of these little pots are totally reusable in your kitchen.
