Forget the queues, forget the hassle of parking, and of course forget the horrendous traffic. This Christmas season is all about a carefree and relaxed shopping experience.
What is that you ask? We know, we’ve never experienced one either. But now you can thanks to the hard-working Galway First elves who have helped us compile this list of all the best places you can shop online this holiday season for each and every person on that lengthy list of yours...
For the kids...
Always the first on your Christmas list, Smyths online shop, toys.ie, makes shopping for the little ones a breeze because it is literally like browsing through one of its enormous shops, only from the comfort of your very own home. Giving you the opportunity to either guarantee that your products will be in stock when you get to the store or to have home delivery for as little as €30, you can literally get everything (from Barbies to bikes and from Darth Vader to video games ) all in one place.
For the fashionista...
Burberry, DKNY, Ralph Lauren, Lacoste, and Armani, are just a few of the big names you will find splashed across the website designerclothes.co.uk Delivering worldwide, the website is often cited in magazines and newspapers, praised for its extensive, up-to-date, collection of designers’ goods and its ‘Bargain Basement’ section that lets you get the best from earlier seasons, for prices that are a little easier on your budget.
For the entertainment junkie...
Always a winner with the book/music/film fanatic on your list, Amazon.co.uk offers everything under the sun including DVDs, VHSs, CDs, MP3s, books, electronics, software, calendars, diaries, and much, much more, in literally every single genre imaginable. Can’t find it anywhere else you’ve looked? Chances are you’ll find it on Amazon, and if you can’t, just put in a request and the hard working little Amazon elves will do their very best to find it for you.
