Keyonda Pyles, Editor In Chief of A Real Urban Mom, shares holiday shopping tips.
Holiday deals are starting earlier than ever this season. Many stores and online websites have already begun offering holiday deals and will continue to do so up until Christmas. Black Friday and Cyber Monday is not the only time you’re going to find the best deals! Be sure to keep an eye out online for the best deals, and the easiest way to search is typically by category – for example “best tech deals” or “best kitchen deals.”
Buy practical gifts. Seek out gift options that your loved ones are actually going to use! Food and beverage options are a great, practical gift and with many spending more time at home they’re bound to be used!
