With the new State’s Regional Stay-At-Home Order, have you wondered how you are going to get through the holiday shopping season? Don't worry, we have some helpful tips below.
Try shopping online and use curb-side pickup - Not only are companies pivoting their online presence making it easier to shop, but they have also made shopping contactless and stress-free!
Think outside the box - This year, think of how to enhance your loved one’s time at home. Put together an “experience” instead of the usual scarf or a gift card.
| He or she likes to... | Try this as a gift... |
| Drink wine | A wine tasting box that comes with a virtual wine tasting event. |
| Play golf | Set up a tee-time at their favorite course. |
| Cook or bake | A virtual cooking class that includes a box full of all the necessary ingredients or kitchen gadgets and a cookbook. |
| Stay fit or workout | A fitness membership for live or on-demand classes. Include some at-home fitness equipment! |
| Dabble in arts and crafts | A virtual “how-to” class. Include everything needed for the class such as a knitting kit (yarn, needles, etc.), embroidery kit (hoop, floss, and a needle), or painting kit (canvas, paints, and a paintbrush). |
Deliver homemade holiday treats & goods - In this challenging time, homemade goodies are a great option when it comes to gift-giving. Gifts created in the kitchen seem to capture the spirit of the holidays in a way no store-bought treasure can.
Consider charitable gifts - You could donate to your loved one’s favorite cause/charity in their honor/memory. Include a card letting them know of the act of kindness.
