Tips for Holiday Shopping!

Happy Holidays!!

Tis' the season to shop, be happy and celebrate many favors in our lives! With the holidays approaching, I've begun to make a Christmas list for my dearest loved ones and it occurred to me that I need to start Holiday shopping soon. I'm a very last minute person, so I have decided to quit my old habits and start planning NOW. I've come up with a few tips to make your holiday shopping less stressful and more resourceful. As the malls open up earlier and close later be sure prepared for the busiest time of the year. Check out my tips below: 

• Make a list! Never go into Holiday shopping blindly, it's beneficial and useful! 
• Get ORGANIZED. Avoid confusion and stress by organizing yourself before you do anything!
• BUDGET your time & money. Spend no more than 2-3 hours in the mall and know your budget for each gift. *be careful not to overspend* 
• Go to the mall or department stores during the week instead of the weekend to avoid the crowds of people!!
• Dress comfortably! When your shopping it's important to dress comfortably--leave the bulky coats in the car, leave the Christian Loub's in your trunk and bring your Coach wristlet instead of your big Louis Speedy..
• GO GREEN! Its unnecessary for you to have a million shopping bags, try to be eco-friendly this year. 
• Have you tried online shopping? Sometimes online sites have the best steals/deals! Fashion For Thought...
• Do-It-Yourself Wrapping! Don't waste time having ALL your gifts wrapped, why not spend some time with your family wrapping gifts and writing cards. Hit the "Dollar Store" ASAP!!
• Save your receipts! You never know when your going to need them & don't forget to ask for gift receipts. 
• TREAT Yourself. Even YOU deserve a gift for all your hard work while shopping ; )

What's Your Shopping Personality?

In a recently released survey, 2010 How America Shops MegaTrends Study, The Odyssey Begins to the New Retail World, WSL identifies five shopper personalities:


• Shop-a-Lot Sue- She loves to shop, and although she has limited means — a household income of $60,000 — this is “not a deal breaker,” the survey found. “Sue knows she doesn’t have much to spend, so she shops smart, which lets her buy more.” She often opts for online options or chooses mass merchants such as Wal-Mart or even dollar stores. “She’s given up her aspirations for big-name brands and is OK with less.”

• Miserable Mona- who also has a household income of around $60,000. She is “so jaded by her financial situation that she finds no pleasure in shopping. Making ends meet is a constant struggle.” Although she, too, shops at discount or dollar stores, she doesn’t use online tools to help her.

**Although both Sue and Mona are discount-store shoppers, retailers are better served marketing to Sue with coupons and sales promotions. “As a bargain hunter, she will return again and again to the places that reward her hunt,” the survey found. Merchants should also strive to make their stores as attractive as possible and offer as much “aspirational merchandise” as possible to appeal to this shopper.**


• I’ll Pass Patty- who is apathetic about shopping and views it as a necessity. She has an above-average household income of $90,000 but lives within her means. She often opts for online shopping to avoid having to go to stores. “To her, smart shopping is no shopping,” the survey said. “Low price is important, but not if it means having to shop around.”

• Bubble Barbie- who spent the recession living in a bubble, ignoring everything and continuing to shop. Her household income averages $72,000, and she visits stores often although her debt level is high. “Bubble Barbie is the best reason to keep doing attractive displays of new products that stop her in the aisle and add more to her basket,” the survey said. “Sales and discounts are good, but not necessary for her to buy.”

• Chic Chic Charlotte- who has a high household income, around $101,000, and loves to shop. But even she was impacted by the recession and will buy less than she had in the past. “The more affluent have developed a case of retail guilt. She is not as spendthrift as she was in the Nineties. Reassure her that you are offering her value.”

My Shopping Personality is......Bubble Barbie mixed with Shop-a-Lot-Sue
