shopping in Odesa will satisfy the most demanding shopoholic, who wishes to "burn" her (better his :) credit card. One will be amazed by the number of boutiques, with expensive brand shoes and purses, lingerie and accessories, etc. and then seeing these things on Ukrainian ladies :) yes, they like to dress up with chic.
the bottom line is: you will not fail to impress your Ukrainian girlfriend, if you take her shopping ;)

The traditional Pasasj shopping centre is beautiful but offers a limited choice of shops, while the bigger and flashy Evropa and Afina (=Athens or Athena) malls are sort of soulless and rather expensive for ukrainian standards.

A huge market where you can get by number 4 bus or marshrootka of the same number. It's situated a bit outside Odessa but doesn't take long to get there, not more than 30 minutes from almost the centre of the city. It works from early morning till 2pm or so.
What to buy: You can find almost everything there - men and women clothes, shoes, bags, parfumes etc. And the choice is quite big. Prices are much cheaper compared to the ones in the shops.
What to pay: you can buy a nice pair of shous for somethink like 50$ and a pair of fashionable jeans for 40$, but there are things there much cheaper than that. Enjoy!;-) because they sell pretty the same in shops but 2-3 times more expensive.

If you want to taste and/or buy good Ukrainian wine (what is not that easy to find), go to the cellar at Ekaterinenskaya Square of the Massandra winery. This winery was found more than 100 years ago by the Tsar and has its winery and its vineyards on the Crimean.
I tasted some dry wines, but they were very average. The specialities are the sweet wines, which they sell - for European standards - at quite a low price.

The Souvenir Market with a crowd of artists and craftsmen demonstrating their works is situated right here. Prices are really low, and some items are gorgeous. Bargains are common. Don’t miss it if you want to get originally Odessan souvenirs.

There are a few plush modern malls in Odessa. In the basement of many are good value food halls with many Russian/Ukrainian treats.
