But, before abandoning any ideas of setting foot in a mall and turning to online shopping, be advised of the order deadlines.
The last thing you’d want is having your Christmas gifts delivered after the 25th. How embarrassing.
Superbalist deadline - 17 December (standard delivery)
Spree deadline - 18 December (standard delivery - main centres)
Takealot.com deadline - 18 December (standard delivery - main centres)
However, if you are planning to hit the stores, there’s no harm in pre-planning your trip. In fact, it helps to curb expensive impulse purchases, so here’s a mini-wishlist to (hopefully) relieve some stress.
Gifts from R50-R100
Gift store cards: Yes, we know sometimes these can come off as a little impersonal but in the same breath they are the best way to go if you’re truly at a loss on gift ideas. Most stores offer them at the tills and they often come in cute casing.
Fashion Accessories: With such a huge selection of accessories online and in stores, it’s nearly impossible not to find something cute.
