Aussie mums beat Ryan Gosling as a shopping companion, lose to Miranda Kerr in survey Romy-Crystal Cutler would rather go shopping with her mum Romani Krishna than America actor Ryan Gosling. HE is one of Hollywood's biggest stars who makes women weak at the knees. But new research suggests most Aussie women would prefer to go shopping with their mum than with Ryan Gosling. And that's not all the results also found the country's mummy's boys are on the verge of extinction after most male shoppers revealed they would rather go shopping with Miranda Kerr than their mother. The IKEA Family study - done to mark the store's one millionth loyalty program member - revealed that men were the top spenders when it comes to homewares shopping, spending 26 per cent more than their female counterparts each year. Ryan Gosling's movie star good looks aren't enough to make him the best shopping companion according to Australian women. But despite spending the big bucks, one-third of males do so reluctantly, confessing they only go shopping for home furnishings because their partner makes them. Not surprisingly, women relish their homewares shopping trips, visiting eight times more frequently than their male counterparts each year. When in store, expect to see women shopping solo after results revealed almost two-thirds (62 per cent) of females prefer to shop alone. Miranda Kerr, on the other hand, gets the vote from Aussie blokes ahead of mum. Pyrmont's Romy Cutler said she was someone who would take her mum shopping over Ryan Gisling any day of the week. "It sounds strange but I think it just comes down to the fact that mums know best," she said. I trust my mum's opinion, she knows my taste and style and exactly what I need. Don't get me wrong, Ryan Gosling would be a nice guy to be around but if I was on a mission to find something, Mum would definitely be my first choice. IKEA Australia's Rebecca Darley said: "No matter how different people's shopping habits may be, what binds them all together is their commonality they come to us for inspiration and to purchase functional and beautiful homewares that cater to all budgets," she said.
