Tips from a Busy Working Mama | Shop Online, Save Time #Paypal
Before I met my hubby, I was quite an online shopping noob actually {“You mean, all I need to do is
click and it delivers to my doorstep??”}. I was also very skeptical about the quality of goods from
stuff you buy online. Even now, I don’t usually buy clothes online because I'm very particular about
cutting & materials {although a lot of my friends swear by sites like ASOS!} but I do love sourcing for
unique handicrafts or products that we don’t usually find in our local stores.
{Clockwise} Limited edition BAPE X Be@rBrick, Haba Strong Stuff game,
                      handcarved wooden knuckle dusters, Fred's homeware


Shopping online offers so much convenience for today's time-poor mums. You can shop online from
home, at work {ssshhh!}, on your laptop or smartphone and browse through hundreds of items
easily, without even leaving your seat. Or even bed, because I like to do it while Lil Pumpkin sleeps ;p

In fact, it's not just time you save, but monetary costs too. Don't you usually eat out when you shop
at stores? Or pay petrol, parking & ERP money for traveling? Or spend more on things we don't
actually need but just saw at the check-out counters? Or buy at a higher price just because we were
too lazy to compare prices at other stores?

I think a lot of people share the same fears that I had in the beginning and that’s what holding them
back from online shopping. Fear that what they bought may not be what they saw online, or that the
sellers don’t send the items over, or that their personal safety is compromised etc. Those are valid
concerns but I think if they use a responsible and trusted company like PayPal to transact money,
their confidence level will increase.

PayPal protects your financial information securely, and it is never shared with the seller. They also
have the latest fraud prevention technology with 24/7 account monitoring from a dedicated team of
security specialists. Indeed, PayPal Buyer Protection makes buying online safe. If the item doesn’t
arrive or doesn’t match the seller’s description, you can recover the full purchase price of the item
plus shipping costs via PayPal.

Another benefit when using PayPal is that all your information is already captured in your account,
and you don’t have to type in all your long list of financial information every time you make a
purchase online. All you need is one ID and one password for about 9 million merchants worldwide
that use PayPal to get paid.

Christmas is coming and if you haven't tried it before, now might be a good idea to get your hands
into online shopping to beat the dreaded crowds. Below are some online boutiques you can check
out for gifts and they all accept PayPal.




Pamper the ladies in your lives with 1. beautiful handsewn treasures at Jean Stitch, 2. international
makeup and fashion at ASOS, 3. modern homeware at Pop Deluxe, 4. latest fashion & trends
at Zalora, 5. Japanese crafts & accessories at iichi, 6. artisan handmade jewelry atAdeline's Loft.
Bring joy to their faces with 1. personalised gifts from Scrappin' Love, 2. toys & baby items
atLamkins, 3. unique party & craft goods at Beautiful Revelry, 4. cute childrenswear & accessories
at MDBambini, 5. eco-friendly kids apparel & products at tinydipity, 6. edu-play activity kits
atLolliBox.
Shower love to the men with 1. upmarket menswear & accessories at Mr Porter, 2. favourite reads
at Amazon, 3. wallet-friendly prices for watches at Qoo10, 4. unique handcrafted gifts at Etsy, 5.
classic mens goods at Oki-ni, 6. quirky collectibles at Mortimer Snodgrass.

               If you have any favourite online shops, please share them with me!
