"Eat Pray Love" (and Shop)

The adaptation of Elizabeth Gilbert's bestselling memoir Eat Pray Love opens this weekend—with the New York Times calling it "a sumptuous and leisurely adaptation...of post-divorce globe-trotting." To wit, there are twice as many "Eat Pray Love" offerings on eBay this week as there were at this time last year, and Elizabeth Gilbert listings have also jumped, up 47 percent.

While a year-long trek through Italy, India, and Indonesia (all the destinations start with "I," to further the author's quest for enlightenment) sounds heavenly, it’s out of reach for most working, responsible adults. Instead, we’ll all watch Julia Roberts eat, pray and love her way across the globe this weekend and collectively sigh.

Since you're likely to be as besotted with the seductive scenery—the cobblestoned streets of Italy, the vibrant markets of India—as you are with love interests Javier Bardem and James Franco, there’s an easy way to inject touches of these worlds into yours: shop for keepsakes on eBay.

Here's how to shop your way through the journey that is "Eat, Pray, Love":
