lampshade
Yesterday was Mary’s birthday. She turned twenty. I didn’t know what to buy for her, because she is the kind of person who finds nothing completely suitable. So, I went to downtown in order to look in every mall. I didn’t feel like buying a book or chocolates or flowers. I wanted something more original. When I got tired of going from mall to mall and not finding anything enough good, I found a very strange store. It was like a museum of authors. There was the cane used by that well-known writer Oshima Kasaki. But I realized that that cane wouldn't be a good present for her. However I saw a lamp, which lampshade has the picture of Pablo Miyasaki on it. “Finally, here it is”, I said. So I bought it in spite of its price. It was very expensive.

So I bought, despite the price.

So I bought it despite the price. I don't think the previous editor meant to take out the word "it". This is more correct.
So I bought it in spite of its price. I think it is fine like this; I don't think any corrections are necessary.
