There are many of us who get more than overwhelmed doing our holiday shopping in the malls and Wal-marts® of the world. Fighting for parking spaces, not finding that "perfect gift", and waiting (for what seems like hours) in checkout lines only exasperates us. There must be a better way! May I suggest 2 better ways? 1) Visit the smaller antique and gift shops on the streets of small towns and villages such as Sneads Ferry and Topsail Island along the North Carolina waterway. Parking is much better and, unlike many downtowns these days, free parking! The isles are less crowded with frantic shoppers allowing you a much more pleasurable experience. There is even one antiques shop that offers free coffee to their visitors as well as a free North Carolina map. Where else do you get that level of customer service? Interested in purchasing a Topsail Island Vacation Rental for some friends, relatives or yourself? Maybe you are part of a group holding silent auctions or raffles and need that special gift. This is a great time to stop by and speak with the fine staff of Kathy S. Parker Real Estate to get that perfect time at the beach reserved for the upcoming tourist season. 2) If time is a critical factor, or you don't want to make the trip, how about shopping right where you are right now? Online! Don't know what to get? How about something from the following ideas list?Tired of Big Crowd Shopping?
As you can see, there is so much to choose from without the hustle and bustle of the craziness that goes with holiday shopping in the larger downtowns and malls. Take a walk on the quieter side this season.
You may find that getting into the holiday spirit is much easier this way!
