Gift buying for the time poor - it's a simple as www!

Christmas shopping - you either love it or you hate it. If you are busy mother, chances are you fall in to the latter category, especially if it means a trip to the shopping centre with children in tow!

So what if we told you that you could get all your female Christmas shopping out of the way minus the crowds, car parking woes and checkout queues?

Owner of Geelong-based online gift store www.giftsformygirl.com.au, Anna Hayward, said that online shopping is growing in popularity due to the convenience it provides to customers – especially at peak shopping times such as Christmas.

“According to the Australian Communications and Media Authority, more than half of Australian internet users made a purchase online between January and March 2008, with 15 per cent of these shoppers purchasing gifts,” Anna said.

“These figures demonstrate that Australians are recognising online shopping as an alternative to visiting the stores. Online shopping provides some great lifestyle benefits - stores are open 24/7 so you can shop at a time that suits you, and you avoid the time consuming task of finding – and paying for – a car park and lengthy check out queues. Plus it can all be done from the comfort of your home or office.”

“Giftsformygirl.com.au specialises in women’s gifts, and to make the gift buying process even easier we offer free gift wrapping and can send items anywhere in Australia - be it the customers home so they can play Santa on Christmas Day or to family and friends who they won’t be with this year.”

“These additional services really help those people that are time poor but still want to give the women in their life a fantastic gift on Christmas Day. It’s all about making things easier for the customer,” Anna said.

Regular Brisbane customer, Kylie, has been shopping at Gifts for my Girl since early 2008.

“I am a mother of six so any outing that involves taking the kids to the shopping centre is a mission!” Kylie said.

“I shop at Gifts for my Girl as it is convenient and much easier than going gift shopping with the kids. I can shop when I have the time, browse items without having to tell the kids not to touch, and have the items delivered directly to me without leaving the house. The other great thing is that postage is capped so no hidden surprises there either.”

“I have been internet shopping for many years and purchase just about everything online - from food and clothing to cleaning products and gifts. For me, online shopping is the most convenient and easy option,” she said.

While online shopping can provide enormous benefits, it is important to know who you’re dealing with when transacting over the internet. For tips on safe online shopping, visit the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission website at www.accc.gov.au.
