Holiday Shopping will be different this year. As each year, holidays are around but it is going to be different this year as everything else. With most cities around the country going into the next round of lockdown due to the increasing number of COVID cases, shopping will not be normal. While shopping is inevitable, you can save and still make the season merrier by following the below methods.
A Timely Gift
This season let the gifting convention be more of time than of an object. Time is a rare gift and it has not received its recognition as we take it for granted. This year, give your time to your loved ones, be it friends or family members. You can connect over apps or meet safely at a distance, keeping it personal this year would be much appreciated.
An Exclusive Holiday Account
While managing your finances and segregating your fund, try to create a fund exclusively for holidaying. A holiday account need not be for expensive items, like a car or house down payment, it just needs to be a place to set aside money for your annual holiday time. Creating such an account will help you realize your dream holiday.
Being Together
Togetherness is a gift of joy that no materialistic gift can supplement. Holidaying is all about spending time with family and friends and being together. Involvement in activities such as virtual or outdoor dinner, movie watching, reading can all be made more fun.
Look out for Sales
Most retailers are planning to launch as well as extend sales to increase their reach. Since COVID has impacted physical shopping to an extent, shopping online is one of the safest methods, and do watch out for deals from online giants like Amazon and others.
Sooner the Better
It is ideal to begin your holiday shopping early as there are chances of delayed shipping. With increased online shoppers, you may end up paying hefty shipping costs as the holidays get closer.
Think before you spend and plan in advance to treat this year’s holiday shopping as like all other years. Enjoy your holiday with loved ones being safe is the most important factor.
