Be Kind to Your Mind this Holiday Season
The holiday season is here, and we are beyond excited! We are on a mission to provide you with the easiest, most stress-free gift-giving experience that we can. In addition to our Gift Finder Quiz, the Holiday Shop, and all of our idea guides (see below), we've rounded up a few strategies to shop smarter, avoid delays, and fully enjoy the holidays.
Shop Early to Avoid Delivery Delays
Shipping delays are inevitable during the holiday rush, and the later you wait, the more likely your packages will arrive late. Shopping early means you can take advantage of deals and still have plenty of time for your gifts to make it to your doorstep—or your loved one's.
Get First Pick of Full Inventory
There's nothing worse than hunting for the perfect gift only to see it sold out. Popular items fly off shelves fast, and while we do our best to anticipate demand, it's impossible to know for sure how popular an item will be. Shopping now ensures you get the best selection without having to settle for substitutes.
Plan Ahead with a Gift List and Budget
Impulse buying is easy during the holidays, but having a game plan can help you stick to your budget and avoid overspending. Create a list of each person you plan to buy a gift for in order of priority and budget. As you shop, factor in your expenses and adjust your budget as needed to stay within your spending goals. This will keep your shopping focused and your wallet happy.
Celebrate Stress-Free
By starting your shopping a little bit earlier than usual, you can spend more of December enjoying the holiday instead of rushing around. More time spent celebrating, less time spent stressing. That's always a win!
