IDEA: Use sites like Amazon to research and maintain a wishlist, then order direct from the company or choose small or local.Please Note:Whilst the links shared are North American-centric, the gift ideas are likely available online near you. Simply make your search term as specific as possible (including the brand, make and model once you’ve decided), and you should find several local ways to buy.All our book recommendations link to Bookshop.org (USA)—so you can learn more about the book—and purchase online. I am now an affiliate for Bookshop.org! It’s a great alternative to Amazon as they give money back to small booksellers—and they also have a UK site.And if you’re looking for many more helpful gift ideas, check out the links below!99+ Holiday Gift Ideas Index (from last year)2 x Super-Budget Conscious Gift Ideas (Low or No Cost Ideas!)5+ Gift Ideas to Make at Home7+ Gift Ideas to Be Kind to You!

Start with you!Some final thoughts for careful online shopping:If you can, use your Credit Card to shop online—many Credit Cards have buyer protection, so if something doesn’t arrive or isn’t what you expect and the seller doesn’t want to “play ball” and fix the situation you still have an opportunity to get your money back.If you’re going to give gift cards to local businesses, do consider—ask even—what happens if they close and the card hasn’t been used.And if you really want to get something, but you’re not sure about how reliable the store is—don’t spend more than you can afford to lose!Image of Person looking at holiday gift by Kraken ImagesShareTweetPinShare0 SharesLeave a Reply Cancel ReplyYour email address will not be published.CommentName* Email* Website Save my name, email, and website in this browser for the next time I comment.
