Holiday shopping is upon us – there’s only one issue: what do you get everyone on your list? Starting with mom, we’ve put together some fun ideas that are sure to score you some extra points in the favorites department. Here are five gifts just for mom:

Grind and brew coffee machine:Give mom an upgrade to her daily coffee ritual. Coffee machines with added bells and whistles take her everyday coffee to coffeehouse status. Look for a machine that features a built-in grinders and steamer so she can make the freshest, most delicious drinks. 

Silk pajamas:For the mom who never splurges on herself, silk pajamas are a treat. Featured in both pants or short sets, silk pajamas are comfortable and add a luxurious feel to any bedtime routine. 

Newly released cookbooks:Does mom like to cook? Treat her to a collection of new cookbooks. Depending on whether she wants to try something new or she has a favorite chef, there are plenty of books featuring new and flavorful recipes just in time for the holidays. 

Initial jewelry:Personalized jewelry is always a nice touch for mom. Consider shopping for bracelets, necklaces, or earrings featuring her initials or initials of family members!

Photo Books:Share memories with mom by gifting her with a personalized photo book. Beautifully crafted and bound in a book set to your specifications, photo books are a great way to highlight special moments she’s celebrated throughout the year. 

With these ideas in mind, you’ll have an easier time navigating stores as you get your holiday shopping done!

It may feel like fall only just began, but the holiday shopping season is already very much top-of-mind for retailers everywhere!

Wondering what you can expect out of this year’s busy season as a small business owner or local retailer? Read on for a few of our seasonal predictions to help you plan for what’s in store this holiday.

Expect shoppers to check off their gift lists EARLY

The days of kicking off your holiday marketing on Black Friday are a thing of the past: as has been the trend since the pandemic started, consumers are shopping earlier and earlier to tackle their holiday gift lists. With Amazon announcing asecond ‘Prime Day’with sitewide discounts on popular items October 11th and 12th this year, shoppers are already in the holiday spirit and ready to begin their gift shoppingnow.

Everyone is on the hunt for the best bargains

Lingering supply chain issues and still high inflation have impacted consumers throughout 2022, and the holiday shopping season will be no exception. So while doorbuster deals and special holiday offers are always successful in driving retailer sales - this year especially, expect your customers to be on the lookout to shop special promotions and discounts on your best sellers throughout the season.

The retailers with both a digital and physical presence will do best

Whether you’re a national brand or a small local shop, it has become essential to find ways to blend both the physical in-store shopping experience with the digital environment to best connect with your customers. If your local shop can’t support e-commerce offerings in addition to your brick-and-mortar operations, there are still ways you can tap into the digital world to drive sales. For example, investing in “buy online, pick up in store” capabilities, utilizing social media feeds to showcase new product lines, and rewarding your most loyal customers with exclusive offers in their inbox are all ways to drive sales this holiday season. 

Key Takeaways

While the holiday shopping season can be a bit unpredictable in our post-pandemic world, a few things are for certain: shoppers are hitting the stores earlier than in the past, and are on the hunt for bargains this holiday season. Finding ways to extend your physical store presence to the digital space can also set your business up for success this holiday season.
