December won’t be the only season to be jolly as websites for all things Christmas are popping up everywhere. At this time of year it seems impossible to keep your pay from slipping away the minute it’s deposited. As presents, food and decorations need to be bought, it might not be a bad idea to plan ahead. Christmas All Year, Everything Christmas and Chrisco all help lighten the financial load.
Christmas All Year is a website that provides everything from baubles to bon bons. This company is a family run business that ships products all over the world, but is located in Melbourne. There is an amazing range of Christmas decorations and the advent calendars are particularly inventive. They range from $14.95 to $69.00, so they are perfect as a gift or for oneself. Baby’s first Christmas is always an exciting event, so even if the tiny baby is born in July, Christmas All Year would have a beautifully decorated bauble ready and waiting (just $3.95).
There are Christmas trees to suit the trendy and traditional – with LED cone shaped trees or fibre optic trees for those who like to mix it up. However, you cannot go past the Christmas tree package that includes all the decorations for $495.00.
As Christmas All Year is an Australian company, it does not take long for orders to be delivered. Orders are usually dispatched within 3 days of receiving your order and there is a 7 day return policy from when you received the goods.
Christmas Warehouse is exactly what it sounds like – an online warehouse of all things Christmas. This website is fairly similar to the previous; however it seems to have more on offer. For example, Santa costumes and even packets of snow are up for grabs, for those who like the traditional white Christmas concept.
Although this website does not sell LED Christmas trees, they do sell “Snow trees” which gives the winter look without the chill. These trees start from $249.95 and the traditional trees start from $24.95. Like most businesses, there is a VIP club that shoppers can join. The Christmas Warehouse VIP club offers a 10% discount on all items, all year round. There are other fun, hands on application that are available for VIP members such as writing a letter to Santa, list of carols and decorating ideas. Best of all, it’s free to join!
Christmas Warehouse uses Visa or Mastercard for payment options. Although there are only two options, they guarantee a secure online payment transfer. Delivery is fairly reasonable, with orders being dispatched within seven working days of receipt of the order. However, during the Christmas season, it may be longer. Christmas Warehouse is an Australian business and located in New South Wales.
Having the family around for an extravagant Christmas lunch can be a blessing and a curse for the host. Without proper preparation it could lead to a very big hole in your pocket. This is where Chrisco comes in. For just a few dollars a week over one year, you are able to buy an amazing amount of food to feed an army (or a family). There are hampers as simple as Cadbury blocks, Shapes, Chicken kebabs, ($2.00 a week) to as extravagant as hampers with over 80 items for $7.00 a week.
Home wares are also available to be purchased using weekly payments. By buying a hamper and an appliance, such as a toaster, there are significant discounts. It may be hard to wait 12 months for something like a toaster or sandwich press, so an impatient shopper may not find these deals appealing.
Payments can be made weekly, fortnightly or monthly and products can be added throughout the year. Then, the products are delivered just before Christmas, all at once. Payments can be periodically deducted from your account or credit card, however if an automatic payment is not set up and a payment is missed, there will be a small fee.
By becoming an organised online shopper, Christmas can become a year long celebration. It is nice to know that even when the Christmas tree comes down, there is still a bit of Christmas spirit floating around on the internet.
