Barely two weeks left before Christmas! A holiday we love and fear at the same time! The air is a little cooler; the people are a littler cheerier. Everyone is scrambling to prepare
Christmas gifts for friends, relatives, and co-workers! If you’re an early prepper,
brick and mortar stores are the best place to buy presents. But, let us tell you why
online shopping is way better!
Traffic jams are horrendous
Unfortunately, traffic jams are the norm these days and more so during the
Christmas season! Instead of enduring the traffic jam, do your Christmas shopping
online!
Avoid crowds, full parking spaces and pickpockets
No matter how much holiday cheer you have, these three will bring out your inner-
Grinch. Crowds can be such a huge headache specially if they don't follow the
queues. Finding a parking space during this season is next to impossible. Worse,
pickpockets abound everywhere hoping people are carrying around wads of cash
for shopping!
It’s convenient
There aren’t any lines to wait in. You shop at your own pace and at your
convenience and comfort! Imagine midnight shopping in your pjs, digging in on a
tub of ice cream while playing Jose Mari Chan songs in the background! It’s perfect!
More variety
The internet is full of wondrous shops for all the things you may (or may not) need!
The choices are aplenty without being limited geographically! You can shop locally
and you can shop internationally. Some online shops even ship for free.
Sending gifts is EASY
Speaking of shipping, you can even send the present directly to the recipients! Of
course, receiving gifts personally is way better than from a courier, but see “Traffic
Jams are Horrendous” above.
Compare and Contrast
With just some tap-tapping on your keyboard, you can easily compare and research
products and prices without having to go from one shop to the other.
Less Compulsive Buying
With online shopping, you tend to buy presents for specific people. You are less
compelled to buy things that aren’t on your list. There is also no sales assistant to
upsell or pressure you into buying things specially if you are easily swayed!
Online shopping saves you time, fuel, and energy! So go ahead and immerse yourself
in online Christmas shopping. You’ll thank yourself for it!
