Day 5- 9 Tips for Last-Minute Christmas Shopping
Hi and welcome back to Day 5 of my 12 Days Of Christmas Series. Todays topic is all about last minute Christmas shopping ideas. So you promised yourself, you wouldn’t wait until the last minute to do your shopping and here you are. It’s the 11th hour and you haven’t started your holiday shopping. You have a shopping list a Country Mile long and you don’t know where to start. Well here are some things you can do:
1. Try Shopping During Non-Peak Hours. “Non-peak hours” is retail-speak for “really early or really late.” Basically, don’t go at times when everyone else is going. That way, you won’t have to deal with long lines, and you can hit more stores. It’s really that simple. Since stores restock overnight, you are more than likely to find stuff on your list
2. Gove Subscriptions. For the serious TV and movie watchers on your list, you should get them a gift that keeps on giving such as: Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, Hulu, or Sling Orange. You might want to give a subscription to the book lovers on your list as well and you can use one of these: Kindle Unlimited, Scribd, Playster, and Oyster. You may also want to try: Audible, SimplyAudioBooks, and OverDrive.
3. Gift Cards. Now I know that a gift card usually says the person didn’t have time to shop for you, but they didn’t want to show up empty handed. It is ago a great gift to give to that person who is hard to shop for. It allows them to buy what they really want and not what you want them to have. The good thing about it is, you can get gift cards pretty much everywhere.
4. Find Discounts. One of the big problems with last-minute shopping is that you can end up getting stuck with high prices. Well now you can compare prices between different stores and find promo codes. Here are some websites you may want to check out: PriceGrabber.com, Google Shopping, Shopping.net, Nextag.com, or Shopzilla. If you are looking for promo codes, you want to check out these sites: DealNews.com, SlickDeals.com, RetailMeNot.com, BradsDeals.com, or CouponSherpa.com.
5. Use Amazon Prime. If you already have Amazon Prime, great! You should be able to order your items and have them show up on time, but you might be also able to get same day shipping or overnight shipping. This is going to depend on where you live.
