holiday shopping

Most people in NJ own "too much stuff," so you might consider giving a loved one special memories this holiday season by opting for an 'experience' gift.

The 64% who said they were optimistic represents a decline from 72% who said the same in 2021, but the comeback from the COVID-19 pandemic shaped a lot of that.

Hey New Jersey - according to a survey, we're really generous gift-givers.

With Christmas only weeks away (eeeek) I thought this would be awesome info to share with you guys! We always talk about buying for our kids and what the hottest new toy or gadget is for them but we also have to shop for our parents and grandparents and most of us have no idea what a good gift for them would be. I did some digging and I found the top 10 gifts this year for our older family members...here is a list of things they never knew they wanted:

Would you rather get a gift that is an experience or a thing? The trend this holiday season is to give an experience (which makes perfect sense post COVID) so I wanted to give you guys some fantastic ideas that you may not have known were even available in New Jersey!

Someone give me an intervention...I have to stop buying stuff! Oprah's Favorite Things list just got released and it is magnificent. Seriously someone stop me. I can't stop buying her list! She's a sneaky one that Oprah, they did this list in a way that made it wayyyyyyy too easy to drunk shop. Allow me to explain.

Where do you fall on the issue of keeping stores open on the holidays? Do you want the convenience grabbing that last minute ingredient or gift the day of or do you feel like employees have a right to be home with their families on the holidays too?

Don't be that person whose gifts arrived to their loved ones after Christmas - avoid it by following these holiday shipping deadlines.

Whether it's a DVD they already owned, or a sweater that's way too big, the day after Christmas is when people flock to stores to make their returns.

It takes a special kind of person to brave the elements and moreover the people. to go out after a nice Thanksgiving dinner and go shopping at the stores or malls for Black Friday. Black Friday is no ordinary shopping day. You have to have a plan, you have to know what you want and prepare on how to get it...

If you were out shopping today for Black Friday and made it home safe and sound, consider yourself fortunate. Before you start mapping out your plans for next year, you may want to watch a very cool video compilation created by Digg.com of some Black Friday shoppers who didn't fare as well.

Every Black Friday, the infamous shopping day after Thanksgiving, is a madhouse that we cannot seem to get enough of.
