Create one wishlist to save everything you find!
We all have the same challenges as we go about our online shopping research any time of the year and especially for big occasions and during the holidays:
These are my most favorite sites for gift finding research and gift ideas:
What if you could make one giant wishlist that contains all the gifts you are considering and lets you easily compare them across multiple sites? Add them while you’re looking around and then easily go buy them later.
You can! Sign up for a free account with Wishpot and install the Wishpot button so you can add items to your shopping list to compare or buy later. I only found a button for Firefox, but using that browser for shopping is a small price to pay for having all your gifts to consider in one place! If you don’t have Firefox already, you can get it for free from Mozilla.
What if you could easily find many stores that carry the product you want and see their prices and reviews? You can! TheFind makes that so simple, and here is how you use it:
If you want to create a better world by buying directly from a small business, TheFind makes that easy. Just search for the product and they will show you every business in their directory – large or small – that carries what you want.
TheFind is a great way to find small stores. Buying directly from them instead of their listings on sites like Amazon gives the ecommerce stores more money which they spend in their local economies which creates jobs that pay better.
By choosing where you shop you either improve or create further
declines in employment and everyone’s standard of living.
Every person who supports small business is keeping someone in their home and eating. Make the holidays better for us all – and that in turn protects your own job and life. Consider buying a few less items, and spending a little more per item and you will be changing the world one penny at a time!
Another site that makes it easy to find products and compare prices is ShopWiki. They have tons of shopping guides that they call Buying Guides that offer a ton of great gift ideas.
You can find a Buying Guide for just about anything you want to know:
The best place to start is in the ShopWiki Buying Guides Directory.
ShopWiki offers separate sites by country to make it easy for you to find stores where you live or to buy that exotic gift from somewhere you have traveled or wish you could travel. Check out all the countries they cover:
Many people struggle with what to buy someone else – and for good reason. They don’t ask themselves what that person would want and when they ask for advice it is too general. For example, they will say “what do I get for a boy?” or “what would my husband like?”. No one can offer useful advice without more information about the intended gift recipient.
The key to buying the perfect gift is to make it personal. These tips on How to Select the Perfect Gift are just what you need. Don’t get stuck – ask the experts on TheFind or ask in the comments here so anyone can share ideas for you.
