So, Atsuta Aeon is definitely the place to go mall-shopping in Nagoya. They have everything. I could spend a whole day there, and I don't really like to shop. There are many great shops in the mall. Beaux-Arts, I think, is one of them.
I'm not from Japan, so I get into the exotic stuff that foreigners love about Japan. All the cool yucattas and jimbays, and glassware, chopsticks, sandals, Japanese prints, etc. Beaux-Arts has all this stuff, lots of gift items, housewares, shirts, plants, and the store is quite small. Prices are pretty cheap too. It's one of my favorite stores in Astuta Aeon.
What to buy: Gift items and souvenirs are the best items. These souvenirs are cool, too - not the cheap stuff you normally see.
What to pay: Pretty cheep. Lots of stuff at 500 yen, some at a 100, most between 1,000 and 5,000 yen.

In Japan, what's cute is popular. Everything is cute, cute, cute. They've made a fine art of cute. You see it everywhere. And no one is exempt from the cute bug.
This shop in Aeon has a lot of crazy cute stuff. You've gotta check it out. The prices are reasonable too.
What to buy: I like the bowling pin lamp and the cat mirrors.
What to pay: Cheap. 500 yen to 2000.

Central Park is one of many underground shopping malls that Nagoya is famous for. It is located at Sakae station. There are many shops and eateries here. The mall also connects to all the major stores in Sakae. It's worth a stroll even if you're window shopping.
Open until 8:30pm daily. Restaurants until 9pm.
What to buy: There's lot of shops, but most are for girls. You can just about buy anything here though, and there are lots of cafes and pastry shops but not as many restaurants.
What to pay: About average price.

This is a really cool department store near Yaba-cho station and Sakae. The store is located in the Nadya Park building, an usual "art deco"-type complex. It's very popular with the young people. "NADYA" stands for "Nagoya, design, youth, and amusement."
The store has just about everything cool and hip. There are many imported items that can't be found elsewhere in Japan, and just about any type of souvenir you need. Everything is here, even a bookstore with an extensive English section. This is my favorite store in Nagoya although it's a bit pricey. You must check it out.
What to buy: Gifts, housewares, stationary, books, Japanese items, imported stuff, jewelry, watches.
What to pay: A bit pricey. Stationary items are cheap (less than 1000 yen) but watches are a bit more (10000 yen and up).
