(ARA) - When it comes to holiday shopping, men and women are alleged to
be very different. The conventional wisdom is: women shop and men buy.
Most women spend time carefully planning their purchases and do their
shopping over a period of time. Many men, on the other hand, wait until
the very last minute, and often end up choosing whatever happens to be
on display that day. Not usually a successful strategy for getting the
right gift.
For those who are anticipating the upcoming holiday shopping season with
fear and trepidation, the Retail Council of Canada offers some holiday
shopping survival tips for men.
* Start shopping now so you don't have to get something at the last minute.
(Last-minute power shopping is not a sport).
* Take advantage of gift-wrapping services to save time and aggravation
(and to make a good impression).
* Before shopping for clothes for your significant other, check for her
preferred sizes, colors, fabrics and brands. (Important: when in doubt,
always buy the smaller size.)
* Be on the lookout for possible hints your partner may be dropping. Also,
your children may be able to help you think of gift ideas for your spouse.
* Always check the store's return policy before you buy and always keep
receipts.
* Don't forget to include a romantic card with any gift for a spouse.
One way that men can make shopping even easier is by using a trusted online
retailer. SierraTradingPost.com, a site many men may already be familiar
with because of its large selection of outdoor clothing and accessories,
also offers a lot of great gifts for women.
"People are shocked to find out the depth of product that we carry,"
comments Kim Swanson, spokesperson for Sierra Trading Post. "We have
great, affordable gifts that are also high quality."
Men searching for the perfect gift will be able to choose from a selection
of embroidered wool and Scottish cashmere sweaters and scarves; winter
coats in all styles and price ranges; Italian leather boots, purses and
belts; and even luxurious bedding such as Egyptian cotton sheets, baffle-down
comforters, and chenille throws.
"Customer service representatives are available via the Web on live
chat or on the phone to provide product information and guidance for shoppers,"
says Swanson.
Easy to navigate, the Sierra Trading Post site offers name brand merchandise
from 30 to 70 percent off, and a number of easy shipping options. For
those who may have waited until the last minute, they offer express delivery.
And shoppers who just can't decide can always play it safe with a gift
certificate, which can be purchased online.
