Dubaia metropolis raised out of sand

Dubai’s Wasl Square contains a lifestyle shop oozing with quirk and pleasure. Sauce Gifts, an offshoot of the Sauce fashion boutique, is a present-seeker’s wonderland. The entirely white retail space allows the merchandise to do the decorating—thoroughly colorful and eye-catching against the neutral backdrop. Notebooks, candles, housewares and art sourced from local and international makers adorn tables and tempt the pocketbook. And there’s no excuse to miss this shopping experience—even after doors close, a giant vending machine remains accessible to those craving retail therapy at any hour.
