Looking for Christmas Gift Ideas? Our favourite shopping sites are here

Alright, we know it’s very close to Christmas but there is still enough time to shop online and get many wonderful gifts delivered straight to your home.

We did a shout out around the office to find out where the good people at 360interactive Towers were shopping (see how nice we are – a lot of companies would have just got I.T. to print out the computer logs).  So, whether you find this guide practical or merely useful for psychological profiling, here are the sites that are on firstname basis with our credit cards.

Becky loves a bargain and is addicted to sites such as thedeal.co.nz, 1-day.co.nz and trademe.co.nz.  She balances this frugal approach by splashing out on concert tickets.  Her main fashion tips are for australian sites such as sportsgirl.com.au and witchery.com.au

Courtney recommends sassandbide.com.au and mycatwalk.com.au while Rachel finds great designer clothes on ebay.com (you can sense they are a fashionable bunch, can’t you).  All of “the angels” recommend strawberrynet.com for great prices on beauty and fragrance products.

John enjoys quality wine at a good price so NZwinesociety.co.nz is in his favourites (and in his client list – no surprises there then).  Being a gadget fiend he finds useful gadgets and less than useful toys on iwantthat.co.nz and may or may not buy a new ipod/laptop/multimedia system at applestore.co.nz or Dick Smith online - though not before checking tech prices on pricespy.co.nz

Dale, when pushed, mentions ferrit.co.nz but he is known to have spent more than a bob or two on ticketek.co.nz and ticketmaster.co.nz. He also likes shopping for new cars and the best site for that is www.autotrader.co.nz/New
