How to shop smart,even at the last minute Heres what the experts say

There is one rule that holds true in every scenario be it planning a house,a baby or Christmas shopping plan in advance.And while there is no denying that planning is important,it isnt one of the most viable things to do in the current scenario.In fact,say experts,its common for people,in spite of their best intention and a list,shopping is often pushed to the last minute,in some cases seconds too!
The repercussion of such an act is not only money blown,but the guilt of blowing it on the wrong things.Rues serial last minute shopper,Meghna Tripathi,It isnt the money thats the issue,you dont seem to get the right stuff from Day 2 of the sale.And in guilt you end up buying things especially gifts that later on are stuck with you as they dont really make sense. Meghna in fact has a gift dump box that holds all the gifts she bought but never could gift.Incidentally,Meghnas position is one that many experience during the festive season.So whats the way out We get two pro shoppers to help you work out your way of the double whammy of low prices and bad gifts and make better choices for gifts.
Says Sagar Pagar,fashion entrepreneur and owner,Thailand Sawan,One of the first thing to do is take a closer look at what you need and want to gift,and make a list.This would serve two purposes.One,even with heavy discounts in the store,you would not be swayed to buy something on impulse,and two,an understanding of your wardrobe,or even you sister or friends,will allow you to pick things that are essential or loved.
Go personalised on your gifting options,says HitPlay.in,a gifting portal site,owner,Champ Alreja.To begin with personalized gifts have a wide budget range that goes from 300-20,000 plus rupees,but most importantly,it also shows the person you cared to notice.And that makes even an iPad sleeve,a better gift than the iPad.
One hindrance,adds the experts,to keep in mind is that most things on sale is fashion,outgoing.So be selective.Says Jasleen Kaur,personal shopper,This is yet another reason that you select something which is classic like a pair of blue jeans,a T-shirt,polo tees or even a pair of pencil trousers.They are good bargains.
Another gifting option is "Collectors or Personalized Memorabilia".The benefit of such gifts are that they are available online and can be shipped even at the last moment,guilt-free.Like the limited edition Michael Jackson figure or the autographs from Rafa Nadal,Roger Federer and Matt Groening.
