As I already said in my Thanksgiving post we do not celebrate Thanksgiving in Malta. Consequently, we do not get to enjoy Black Friday Shopping.....But if you are American and you are so lucky to enjoy this long weekend make the most of it. And get shopping!
What to do on Black Friday....
In this post I want to write about what I would do if I were to celebrate Black Friday myself tomorrow.....
I would enjoy a shopping day with a break for lunch at about 3 for a nice meal not too heavy though. Some sushi would be great or a nice salad but also a tasty pizza.....Don't forget it's Friday and you are allowed to indulge...But if you have already stuffed yourself for Thanksgiving I would eat light meals on Friday......
What to buy on Black Friday.......
1. If sales have started you could buy anything you like which you also need or want, as long as it is a deal.
2. What about Christmas decor items for this year. Do you need a new Christmas tree, extra lights or extra decorations. Do you want to change your Christmas colour theme? Do it now.....
3. And of course, start thinking about Christmas gifts. If you find good deals which you believe will make nice presents then get them. You can also purchase small things which you can then use to fill your gifts bags.
4. You can buy clothes to wear for Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, New Year's Eve and New Year's Day.
5. And if you come across something you didn't plan on buying but which you love buy it. It can be your own Christmas gift. And what is great about this is that you won't feel guilty since you got a deal!
6. Why not indulge into some makeup shopping. Do you have makeup staples you have long wanted? Why not buy them now if they are on sale?
7. Another great idea is to buy Birthday gifts if you can get a good price for them. If you have loved ones or you know someone who has his/her birthday during the following months, you can purchase their gift in advance. That way you will not have to think about it and you can also get something nicer because of the sale. Only do this if your budget for this month shopping allows you too.
8. Think about your wedding........If you can get sales on certain wedding necessities like wedding bands, souvenirs, shoes for the bride and groom but also for your bridesmaids, jewellery for your bridesmaids and other things don't lose this opportunity. Getting these necessities on sale will leave you with extra money for your honeymoon or for your home.....
9. Are you going on a trip? Do you need certain clothes, shoes or accessories? Buy them now!
10. Last but not least don't forget YOU CAN BUY ONLINE.
Set yourself a budget and try to stick with it, especially if you will have to continue your Christmas shopping during December. You don't want to indulge too much and end up not being able to buy your dear ones a gift.
If you have a lower budget or if you don't want to spend money on Black Friday you can still enjoy some window shopping and try to find good deals to keep in mind for you December Christmas Shopping.
I would really love to be celebrating tomorrow with a full day of shopping especially with all the sales and deals which are going to be available in Unites States. But since I can't, I hope my ideas can be useful for you. I would love to hear from you what you are going to do tomorrow, what you are planning to purchase
or what deals you have found. So leave me your comments and tell me all about your Black Friday!
Enjoy your Black Friday.....
