Shopping is one of life’s great pleasures – yet the combination of crowds, queues and overzealous assistants can make it a misery. As more and more people turn to shopping online as a way to avoid these problems, an endless high street has opened up on the internet offering everything from organic food hampers to designer handbags. But trying to buy online can be both time-consuming and overwhelming – which is why shopping guru Patricia Davidson has revised and updated her bestselling Shopaholic’s Guide to Buying Online for 2008.
The amount of money spent online increased by more than 30% last year, and the number of places to spend it continues to rise, so Patricia Davidson has completely revised her definitive guide for the New Year. With over 200 new websites, and brand-new sections including “Scarves, shawls, gloves, belts and more”, “Spas and pamper days out” and “Dance and Craft Supplies” this book is indispensable to anyone thinking about trying to navigate the net to their advantage.
Fully updated for 2008, The Shopaholic’s Guide to Buying Online will direct you to the right site for your every shopping need – be it the perfect gift or that much-deserved treat for yourself – Patricia point out the hidden gems of the internet that we just don’t have the time or the expertise to find ourselves. Whether you’re an experienced e-shopper or an internet novice, she has the advice to make buying online, faster, easier, cheaper and more fun. All your online shopping worries can be dispelled as Patricia navigates through the details of every website – explaining delivery, pricing, returns policy and carefully pointing out any hidden charges.
After twelve years in international designer fashion mail-order, Patricia Davidson started www.thesiteguide.com, an online up market fashion, beauty and lifestyle website directory. She’s a regular contributor to Condé Nast’s easylivingmagazine.com and has also been published on online shopping in other women’s titles. She lives in Buckinghamshire with her husband, three children and two dogs. This year she's published three other Shopaholic Guides: Buying Gorgeous Gifts, Buying Fashion & Beauty and Buying for Mother & Child, all published by Capstone.
