Got Christmas shopping to do? Use your mobile phone



With Christmas just around the corner there is always so much to do.  Present shopping, ordering the turkey, food shopping, and wrapping presents, and all around a full-time job and family life. It’s no secret that Christmas shopping can be extremely stressful, but it doesn’t have to be. 

If you’re yet to start, or you still have a long way to go, then why not consider grabbing a cup of tea, relaxing on the sofa, and shopping via your mobile phone? 

Appy shopping 

Many retailers have made shopping even easier.  With handy retail apps, you can find exactly what you’re looking for, purchase it, and all from the comfort of your home or workplace. Head on over to the Apple App Store or Google Play Store and you’ll find hundreds of apps from Amazon and ASOS to eBay and Etsy. 

Coded shopping 

If you’ve not seen a QR code before then you’ve been living in a cave. QR stands for quick response, which is exactly what you want when you’re shopping for Christmas presents. Often deals are presented in the form of a QR code, which resembles an odd-looking bar code. Simply download the QR code reader to your app and shop away. 



List crazy 

You can create lists on your phone, and you can even find apps that help you create a list and stick to your budget, so you don’t go overspending.  Organisation is key, so make the most of your mobile phone and get shopping. 

Paypal 

Make sure you set up a PayPal account.  This will take all the hassle out of creating a new account for each product you buy.  Most large retailers will give you the option to shop using credit or debit card or using PayPal. Set up a PayPal account now and you need never type your credit card details in again! 

Christmas shopping doesn’t have to be stressful, you don’t even need to step outside your front door. You can simply press a few buttons on your phone and have it all delivered to your home. 

Happy shopping!
