eBay Makes Holiday Shopping Easier

Holiday shopping has now kicked off in earnest.  Do you love great deals but hate the crowds?  I know I do!  For many years I have relied on the internet for the majority of my Christmas shopping needs, and this year will be no exception.  One site I’ve also always turned to during the holidays in order to find the best prices, as well as to take advantage of the convenience of not having to venture out into the crowded stores, is eBay.

What can you find for anyone on your holiday shopping list on eBay?  Everything!  I can’t think of a single person I’m shopping for that I couldn’t find the perfect gift for them on eBay.  To show you how easy it really is to shop for anyone on your list, I created a list of my own for a few family members and friends I will be shopping for this holiday season:

For my 7 year old son:  Remote Control Helicopter

For my husband:  Call of Duty Black Ops 2 for XBOX 360

For Mom:  HP Digital Picture Frame

For Dad:  Food Saver

For Grandma:  Personalized Damask Tote Bag

For my new baby cousin:  Fisher Price Kick and Play Piano Gym

For my cousin:  Monogrammed Kitchen Towels

For my aunt:  Kindle

For a friend:  Bath & Body Works Gift Set

For a co-worker:  Holiday Yankee Candle

Yes, you really can get all of this and so much more on eBay!  Not sure what to get someone on your list?  Try out eBay’s Holiday Gift Guide to get some great suggestions.  If you are pressed for time during the holidays and can’t squeeze in very much shopping into your schedule and you have a smart phone, you will love the eBay mobile app.  This will allow you to browse and purchase on eBay no matter where you are.  I’ve personally used this app while waiting at the doctor’s office.  It passes the time, gives me great ideas for gifts, and makes purchasing a snap.

Last minute shoppers, eBay has you covered, also!  If you don’t have time to wait on an auction to close, consider products with a Buy It Now feature, which allows you to instantly purchase an item.  I use this feature with just about everything I purchase on eBay because it saves me time.

The absolute best part of shopping on eBay, to me, is having all of my gifts delivered to my doorstep.  All I have to do is just wrap the gifts and they are ready to go!  Convenience and great deals are what my holiday shopping is all about, and I can’t think of a better place to find that than eBay.

I wrote this review while participating in a blog tour for Mom Central Consulting on behalf of eBay. I received a promotional item to thank me for taking the time to participate.

    The Personalized Damask Tote Bag would make a nice gift for people in my family too. I purchased a new Monster Energy hoodie off eBay a couple weeks ago for my son and am going to give it to him for Christmas.
