Tips For Choosing The Perfect Christmas Gift

Christmas shopping should be a stress-free and fun activity that gets you in the mood for the festive fun ahead. Here are our top 3 tips for happy Christmas shopping..

1. Get started early

When it comes to finding gifts for all the family the earlier you start planning your gift ideas the better. Getting a jump start on your shopping means that your gifts will be better thought out, more suitable for the recipient and that they will arrive on time.

2. Have A Christmas Brainstorm

Do some detective work before you start shopping. Find out what size clothes each family member wears and what colors they favor. Remember, that children are often bigger or smaller in size than their age range in clothes would suggest (if in doubt always buy the size above their current age).  Think about the interests and hobbies of the family members on your Christmas list. Are they the outdoor adventure type or a stay indoors surrounded by their creature comfort types?

3. Budget For Delivery & Look For Special Offers

Shopping online is an easy way to get your Christmas shopping done and is a great choice for anyone looking for that extra special gift that you can’t source closer to home. When you shop online look at the delivery details of a site before you start shopping. That way you will avoid the disappointment of realizing that the postage and packaging cost is too high or the delivery time is too slow. Online shops that offer a flat rate for deliveries are a safe bet and will be easier to budget. Stick to the sites that are transparent about their shipping costs and processes.

As a valued customer you should expect to receive some kind of reward for your loyalty. That’s why we offer our online shoppers a $20 voucher every time you shop with us. A store that values your patronage will always go out of its way to show you that your business is appreciated.

Make this Christmas one to remember with cozy, unique gifts that the whole family will love.
