Online Shopping

Does shopping make you feel better? Some people say YES and some NOT. As for me .. I Love Shopping. Sometime it make me feel better when I’m down or depress. But if I spend too much money , then I feel even worse because I start worrying about my finances. Hik..hik… that why when I want to shop, I will make sure that I have a budget on it or I can just have a window shopping from home.

When I was thinking to buy something, normally I would make survey about the product in terms of Specifications, Prices, After sales services, and read some current issues about the product. Then I go to the shop and have a look at the product. In Japan, I feel very convenient to do online shopping because there are some online shopping mall that provide most of the things that I wanted to buy. Moreover, some of the online shop will provide free shipping.

Present from Noritake Garden

Want to buy a good present for someone? Here some tips for you..

1. Think about the person you are buying for. Consider their interests, personality, hobbies etc. Think about what they would appreciate most. Don't just buy something that you think will be convenient; really spend time thinking about their ideal gift.


2. Ask their family if they have mentioned anything that they would really like.


3. If not, it's time to trawl the shops!


4. Go into quality shops, look around and look closely at everything that catches your eye. Imagine you are the person you are buying for. Imagine how much you would use this thing, what you would use it for, how good it would be to them... if it seems like an ideal present, consider it.


5. The best thing to do is remember where you see certain things and go and check out some of the other shops! You could find something a lot better, and then you would regret buying the first thing you saw!


6. After you have checked what's on offer, decide which item your friend would most like. Check the price, check that it is not too ridiculous! Then buy it!


7. Either go to a department store with a gift wrap service or carefully wrap it yourself to get the best results!


8. If you can't find anything that catches your eye, get a cute card and put some cash in it.
