Christmas Shopping Tips and Tricks

Gift-giving is one of the joys of the holiday season, but it can also be overwhelming for some. Between crowded stores, shipping delays, and staying within budget, it’s easy to get flustered. Here’s a simple guide with tips to help you stay organized, stress-free, and thoughtful in your gift-giving this Christmas.

Plan Ahead 

Start making a detailed shopping list early that includes information like recipients, gift ideas, and budget per gift or person. It is always good to have a shopping list of items to buy and a budget to keep within before even starting to shop. This way, you will not stray too much out of your budget on a particular item or person and then be left with too little to spend on your remaining gifts.   

 

Start Browsing & Add to Cart 

Once your shopping list is done, start browsing online and offline to check out the items in mind. This might take some time as there could be many variations like designs and price differences for you to compare.

Once you have narrowed down the options, don’t wait to add them to cart, especially for the big-ticket or limited-stock items.

 

Carting Out Tips 

Save your items in cart to cart out on sale days such 12.12 or mid-month sale to save some extra money! Also, consider buying in “bulk” as many stores have higher discount vouchers when you meet a minimum spending, or bundle deals.

Also, don’t forget to look at the available payment options to maximise your savings or stretch your dollar! Consider using credit cards with cashbacks, or zero-interest installments like Atome, whichever works best for your financial planning.

 

Gift Ideas 

Experience gifts - Give the gift of memories! Consider vouchers for theatre shows, spas, cooking classes, or even adventure activities like theme parks. These thoughtful experiences are perfect for people who treasure moments over physical things.

Handmade gifts – Show your love and effort with handmade gifts. Things like home baked goods and hand-designed crafts bring a personal and heartfelt touch that store-bought gifts may lack.

Customized gifts – Customised gifts like engraved jewellery or monogrammed card holders are sincere and useful gifts that everybody will love.

Symbolic jewellery – Meaningful jewellery such as charms, lockets, or birthstone jewellery makes a memorable and meaningful gift.
