You could serialize the cart (using WDDX or some other method) and put it in the client scope. I also think just using a database is a good option.
Using a database would allow you to easily see your customers' carts, which might be useful from a support perspective. Also, it would allow a customer to put ads in his cart and log in later from another computer to pick up where he left off.
