Holiday Procrastinators Rejoice: 4 Tips for Last Minute Christmas Shopping

Whether you only have a few items left on your list, or you’ve yet to buy a single gift, here are four shopping tips to keep you sane (and even help you save!) as you wrap-up your holiday shopping this year.


1. Use the one store / one mission technique

Pick one store that offers a variety of products at a range of prices; a store that has something suitable for everyone on your shopping list. Make it your mission possible to find a gift for everyone before you leave the store.

London Drugs has toys for every age, jewelry, watches, the hottest tech items of the year, unique gadgets you won’t find anywhere else, a huge selection of cosmetics, the most popular colognes and perfumes, as well as decorations and wrapping essentials. It’s one of the few stores where you can find the perfect gift for grandma and a too-cool-for-school teen in the same place!

2. Don’t roam to find the best price

There’s no time to quibble! Choose retailers that offer price guarantees and have price matching policies.

At London Drugs, customers can use in-store tablets to research and display price comparisons of competitors. Look up the price of nearly anything without going store to store or – worse yet – parking lot to parking lot. Rest assured; London Drugs will match competitors’ advertised prices.

3. Seek help and be decisive

The biggest problem most people have with Christmas shopping is making decisions about what to buy. That’s the genius of gift cards. With multiple brands and price points to choose from, gift cards make the perfect last minute gift idea. But if you want to give something more tangible and you need advice, shop at stores with a hands-on approach to customer service.

4. Shop online, pick-up in store

Yes, it is possible to last-minute Christmas shop online.  Avoid the crowds, checkout lines and shop on your own time right up until 2pm on December 24th at www.LondonDrugs.com. Our site allows you to shop online and pick-up your order at any London Drugs bricks and mortar location.
