Avoiding Stress During the Busy Holiday Shopping Season with eCardica.com

Lake Hopatcong, NJ (PRWEB) November 30, 2004 -- Here are a few tips and tricks for lessening your woes during the hustle and bustle of the gift-giving season. Each year, thousands of shoppers are plagued with undue stress. Long shopping lines, hurrying to catch sale items and searching for hard to find toys tend to be the most common complaints. There are a few things you can do to avoid or decrease your stress during this hectic time.

1. Avoid waiting until the last minute to buy popular toys. Many people make the mistake of waiting for an item to go on sale. These items tend to disappear off the shelves never to be seen again. Always purchase items as you find them. If the item goes on sell at a later date, many stores now have a price guarantee and will repay you the difference in the amount. If the store doesn"t have a policy of this sort, place the item in layaway. You can always cancel your layaway and buy the item at the current sale price. Regardless, you will be certain to have the desired item.

2. Do not make the mistake of waiting until the last minute to finish up your holiday shopping. Stores are overcrowded with panicked shoppers. Lines will be longer, tension will be mounting and tempers will be short.

3. Try to avoid all day shopping trips. Take a break to unwind between stores. Treat yourself to a nice lunch, a facial, manicure or massage. You"d be surprised how renewed you will feel.

4. Avoid lines altogether by shopping online or purchasing gift cards for friends, family and loved ones. Over the past years, many consumers have turned to the Internet to avoid crowded malls and traveling from store to store to find certain items. You can sit in the comfort of your own home and shop at anytime. Compare prices to get the best deal or quickly locate hard to find gifts. Shop in stores from around the world. There are many advantages to this option and it might save your sanity.
