Best Online NZ Shops
Over the following posts, I am going to write about some great online shops (either online shops in New Zealand, or overseas online shops that ship to NZ). I am going to choose a category each week (so wholesale shops one week, sports shops the next week etc.).
So... enjoy as your online shopping experience gets even better!

Sick of Shopping...
I've got to say, I went past the shops a few times this holiday period (we live by Botany Town Centre & I just can't resist seeing how many people turn up on the busy days).
I have to say, this year the shops have been very quiet. The mall was certainly not full (except for Boxing Day, where it was completely packed).
I went to the shops on the 27th December, and it was like a ghost town - very bizarre (but great as well - no traffic). It was quite weird, I bought something (and I can't even remember what it was now), and the eftpos terminal was super quick - the little screen popped up & said "accepted" before I could scratch my ass - shows how quiet it really was out there.
People must be feeling the pinch, or perhaps are shopping much earlier for xmas this year, or are perhaps searching for that bargain online? Or... are people just like me - can't be bothered with all the rush? The neat thing about living by one of the big Shopping Centres, is that there are loads of other shops just "outside" the mall vicinity, and people from out of the area don't know about them - so they are always super quiet.
One of the things I love about the net, is the online bargain shopping. I know there are plenty of shops out there (in cyberspace) that are just trying to rip you off (you know, buying stuff on "special" at the offline shops, and then selling them full price in their online shop). But, there are also some great deals to be found. I am always searching them out, trying to find the "ultimate" in bargains. I guess that's why I started my "bargains & specials" section (I know, it's a bit slim, but every time I find something I pop it in there - it's growing slowly)..
Anyway, I know I normally recommend online shopping, but until Monday (when all is almost back to normal) it is probably a good time to do some offline shopping.

Some of my favourite online shops....
Fishpond has some great books from both NZ & overseas. But... if it's anything to do with Harry Potter, check out these awesome finds.
IQ Toys has the coolest toys for kids, at some great prices. But... if it's anything Thomas that you're after check out this great store!
Can't get enough of Christmas, and love all those glitzy jewels & ornaments. Check out this cool xmas gift store, with jewellery, books, DVD's and anything else to do with Santa.
I'll have a good think & add some more of my favourite global & NZ online shops for you kiwis over the next couple of days. In the meantime - enjoy the buildup to the holiday season.
