Christmas is coming up on us what feels really fast again this year. Do you have your own list ready? Women tend to think of everyone else before they think of themselves, its the way we are raised and its the way most families just are. This is something you could probably say its in our genes, taking care of others and forgetting ourselves. What if you just lost a ton of weight and you walk into your closet and can truly say NOTHING FITS!! Ok maybe thats just me then but I know what I want for Christmas, about 4 pairs of jeans in 2 sizes smaller than what I have now. I have already started reminding everyone that nothing fits and what I want. So what do you want?
Most of us check out whats on the web first to make sure that we are getting great deals. If there is a lot in your family it maybe a good idea to get all your gifts from the same place. A lot of websites are setup with Free Shipping over so much money spend on items. Overall Beauty.com is set up for over $70.00 and has tons of gift giving ideas for all those amazing women in your life. Some sites are setup for over $50.00 to over $100.00 before you get Free Shipping so you need to check their shipping policy before ordering. Do also check if they ship overseas because many sites that offer natural skincare products may not. Always email the owner of the site before ordering if you want it send overseas.
Use Paypal as your payment if you are verified really helps out the sites owners because there is so much bad people out there willing to use credit cards not theirs to buy things with. Beauty websites are just trying to make a little money too, most of them are running home businesses. Check if any websites are in your home state and ask if its possible to pick up your gifts. That also helps out the website owners. You never know, a little kindness during the busiest time of the year may just make someone’s day or yours. Smile it won’t break your face!!
One thing that happened to me was a hidden cost was added to my order. I went to order something and was told that shipping was only $5.40 ok thats not too bad BUT when it was time to pay, the shipping cost went up $4.00!! When I called and asked why I was told it was a handling fee!!
Ebayer sellers are famous for this! Watch when you order anything off eBay for the same reason, those people depending on what you are ordering are jacking up the price of shipping when its really not as much as they say it is. If you buy something thats a .99 cents and yet shipping is $6.00 don’t be surprised if they are recouping what they lost by selling it to you for .99 cents by over charging you for shipping. Unless what you bought came from over seas thats different but if it came for the next state over? Then shipping should not that much if they are shipping by Post Office but many use do UPS and they over charge you. How do I know that? I went to ship a package to the United Kingdom, it weight less than 1 pound. Post Office cost was $4.90 and yet UPS was $56.87!! Is that crazy or what?
Gift giving season is not that far away so you need to start checking out what deals you can find now, buy now and then when its time to give, you have all your gifts ready. I have heard of women who buy all their gifts in Sept. and Oct. while others wait till the very last minute. What type of gift giver are you? And don’t forget to give out your own list of gifts you want this year, fair is fair you know.
For your information if you need your gift wrapped for you, Overall Beauty.com does do that for some items, just email Kim at Kim@overallbeauty.com and ask her what items you can get pre-wrapped for you. Great idea if you are shipping your gifts out to family and you don’t want to bother buying it off a site have it shipped to you and THEN you ship it out. Cost of shipping did go up so check if gift wrapping is an option when ordering off the web.
Now you have an awesome day!!
