Occasionally we accept guest posts too. There is frequently talk of sustainable living, saving money, lifestyle and travel. It is hopefully helpful, sometimes funny and always honest.

Benefits of Internet Shopping : The rise of the internet gift store

Posted on

5 Comments

 

Ten, maybe fifteen years ago, if you had told someone that you were going to do all of your shopping online, they would have probably looked at you strangely because shops opened on a Sunday, they had late night opening times, why would you want to order online? The reality is, our lives have got busier, we want accessibility at the touch of a button and we want to be able to get everything we need, from the comfort of our own homes.

In 2013 you can quite simply get almost anything delivered to your front door, no more traipsing round shop after shop, no more paying exorbitant parking fees and no more sore feet. The only problem now is selecting the right online retailer. Now we run our own boutique here at the Lilypad but it is a very specialised niche and we sit comfortably in our little corner of the internet, but what if you need to appeal to a wider audience? What if you are looking for an extensive range of branded products but not necessarily mass produced by the major chains? We were therefore delighted to be asked to look at the Internet Gift Store and found that it has a fabulous range of gifts to cover most genre's, occassions and tastes.

Internet Gift Store

On the subject of taste, getting the right lunch bag for your child is certainly not child's play and with so many different characters and styles available, tempers have certainly been frayed in our house when choosing a lunch bag but the Internet Gift Store has a massive range of kids lunch bags to suit every age ( I am particularly fond of Elmo myself).

The world wide web provides a huge resource for consumers like you and I but with many big companies going into administration, maybe it is time to place confidence in the smaller boutiques and stores and give them a chance to shine.

  2. It is SO true, I do so much of my shopping online, even the food shop. This Christmas if I wasn't able to get it delivered I didn't buy it. But this has only been in the last 2-3 years. Love choosing lunch boxs with my girls...HATE cleaning them!

  3. I love Internet shopping, but Husband refuses to do our food shop that way. I like to support independents too, so do some long-distance shopping via the Internet with small businesses. Don't talk to me about lunch boxes! Took DD weeks to choose hers! REPLY: I feel your pain with the lunchbox! I never knew it was suc a big decision!

  5. I think there's nothing more civilized - and I love those lunch boxes - we need two and they're very reasonable here.
