I know it’s only September and we haven’t even hit Halloween or Thanks Giving yet but the Relaxing With Yarn shop has been going through updates in preparation for the Winter Holidays (I love Christmas!).
The impact of COVID-19 has changed the way many of us will be arranging our gift giving for the holidays. Even at the best of times shopping in December is risky, let alone for 2020 with all the restrictions in place. So with all this in mind please see the 5 tips to get the most out of your holiday shopping 🛍
- Sign up to our emails so you don’t miss out on the special discounts I only give out there: 15% off
- Big box stores are going to run out of stock early, there will be limitations and the number of items you can purchase and the number of people allowed in store at any one time. Keep your local business and handmade business in mind and search for unique items for your loved ones. If you would like to check out my store please visit here:
- Along with shops running out of stock you’ll need to make sure you’re shopping early for delivery. Here in the UK Royal Mail have advised that anything going out of the UK you ideally need to do this by 11th December. However, given the strain our posties have been under you will want to be early to guarantee you beat the rush.
- How will you deliver your gifts? Once you have your items, how will you get them to your loved ones? Consider gift wrapping in store and providing them with the recipients address.
- Be selective in your gifts, consider purchasing gifts with an intention in mind not because it looks nice. It’s better to make sure everyone has a purposeful gift they will love rather than being without anything because there’s nothing left anywhere.
