10 Holiday Shopping Tips Inspired by Best Buy Canada

  1. Make a list. Better yet…ask your loved ones for a list.
  2. Person’s lifestyle = gift idea. Daughter listens to music on bus to school = headphones as a gift idea. Uncle going on trip = new camera. Sister starting new business = group gift of new computer. Kid waiting to see Star Wars = Star Wars movies or toys! Generic secret Santa gift = movie. Couple celebrating first holiday together = new Instant Pot (more on that below!).
  3. Buy quality. You’ll never regret it.
  4. Save time and shop online. I’m shopping online more and more because A) you don’t have to find parking B) there’s never a check-out line-up and C) BestBuy.ca offers free shipping across Canada on orders over $35 and most products can be delivered to your doorstep within a week. And I like that there’s no rush for shopping online. I can browse, add and delete to my cart, all the while being comfortable at home. Shopping online makes my life easier.Instant Pot at bestbuy Canada @ParentClub
  5. Look for the SALES. Check websites and store flyers so you don’t miss out on deals.
  6. That Instant Pot above?! One of the hottest gifts to give and receive for the holidays. Saute, slow cook, pressure cook and more. It’s a great gift for singles, couples, families. Wouldn’t it be fun to print off some Instant Pot recipes, put them in a binder, and include them with an Instant Pot as a gift?!  Psst…these babies sell out everywhere but you can get an Instant Pot at Best Buy! Imagine prepping all your ingredients for the Instant Pot to make your dinner while you enjoy a much needed family movie night with your loved ones.
  7. Budget. I don’t budget to the exact cent…but I do have a budget ceiling which I am sure not to break. It ensures no surprises when the January bills arrive.
  8. Don’t forget the stocking stuffers. Check my list of EASY STOCKING STUFFER IDEAS for kids, for teens for her, for him.Best Buy Canada Store
  9. It’s not tacky to include a gift receipt. Sometimes the gifts don’t quite hit the mark. And that happens. A gift receipt allows for a gift switch without a lot of hullabaloo.
  10. One-stop-shopping is always good. Meaning: shop at one store for many people. Done and done.

    I’m very interested in an Instant pot. The T-Fal 25-in-1 Pressure Cooker – 6Qt has good reviews, unfortunately the rest don’t seem to have reviews. The Kitchen Aid one has a bit of a weird look to it, I’d still like to have it but with no reviews it’s a no go.
