It’s just three days till Christmas and some of us still aren’t done shopping for gifts. With the stress of having to finish everything on time, we thought we’d list some tips for all the last-minute shoppers out there. Check out the pointers below and get shopping.
Check the Preen Gift Guide Series
If you’re not sure what to get the people left on your Christmas list, check our gift guide series. We have curated lists for different categories. You can pick from gifts for kids and even shop from different local brands.
Shop online
If you don’t have to make your way to the mall or don’t have the patience to wait in traffic, try shopping online. Whether you’re looking for home decor or clothing, there are websites that can deliver to your home in three to five days, just in time for Christmas.
Go through the sale rack
For those on a budget, go through the sale racks and bins. Don’t worry, you’ll still be able to find some really good items if you look carefully.
Try to book a car service
Booking a car will let you save time looking for parking spots or stressing about the traffic. Depending on the length of your list, you can book a car for a few hours or a whole day while you get your shopping done.
Stock up on paper bags
Don’t have time to wrap your gifts? Place them in paper bags, add a bow, and they’re ready for a spot under the tree.
Download shopping apps
Before you head to the mall, you can download apps to see the items available in store. This way, you can pick what you need and ask a sales assistant to help you once your list is complete.
