Black Friday / Cyber Monday, Holiday Season Shopping, Online Shopping Tips
Every year we vow to get our holiday shopping finished early, and every year we’re still shopping into late December. The longer we wait, the more troublesome shopping seems because we’re simply running out of time.
Maybe we don’t know what we want to buy for a certain someone yet, or maybe the hectic December work schedule pushed our holiday shopping further and further down the calendar. Either way, shopping late, and shopping great is far from impossible. In fact, it’s doable within a mere 24 hours.
Simple, yet very effective. Many of us wager that if we wander around the mall for long enough, there’s a good chance that we’ll run into something to buy so-and-so. But usually, all that ends up happening is, we leave the mall empty-handed or we end up buying something in a fit of impatience. In one scenario, you must brave the stores again on a later date, and in the other, you buy something you’re not even confident the person will like. What’s easier, is to just make a list (and check it twice) before making your way to the store.
There’s nothing worse than going to a store with a specific thing in mind and having it be out of stock. Many stores know this, so they have an online website where you can actually check to see if the thing you’re looking for is available. And, when that’s not an option, there’s no shame in calling the store up to have a clerk check for you. Even if you’re pretty sure the thing you’re looking for will be there, better safe than sorry.
Much like checking availability online, many stores will let you reserve items so that it’s waiting for you in store. What’s amazing about this is that now you don’t have to waste time going up and down isles in search of the perfect gift – it’ll be waiting for you at check-out.
If you’ve given yourself enough time to factor in the time of shipping, you can’t go wrong with shopping online. Find a reservoir of everything you need at the click of a button, and have it all delivered to you. Not only can you get your shopping done within hours, you didn’t even have to face bustling crowds of eager shoppers or have to stop watching the show on your TV. It truly is a win-win situation with little drawbacks. To make things even simpler, cut-down the number of websites you have to look through, and browse PriceReel. We bring all of your favorite stores to one spot.
And finally, if you’re shopping for a wide number of people with a vast range of interests, the second best place to be (after the internet) is the mall. Unfortunately, not all malls are the same caliber, and you may need to travel a bit to get to a good one, but it’ll be worth it. Hopping from store to store or mall to mall gets old fast, so it’s less time consuming to just find a mall that has everything you’re looking for, even if it’s a little out of the way.
Last minute shopping can be stressful, but it doesn’t have to be impossible. Remove all of the hardships of finding the perfect gift by following these easy, low-effort tips. Happy shopping!
