\t\t\t\tSuch is my fickle nature, with this post I will appear to perform a u-turn of opinion from my last. However the marked difference is in this post I share my delight of internet shopping – an experience so well thought about, so ingenious, so lifestyle compatible that you can experience it at its fullest whilst wearing your pyjama’s, drinking a mug of tea, and you don’t have to give two squats about the fact you have ‘happy hair’ this morning.<\/p>\n
Most of\u00a0items I buy these days are purchased on the internet. Although I know I should be buying things from local retailers and supporting ‘real stores’ which bring vitality to our ‘real streets’ (blah blah blah) , shopping on the internet means a) I don’t have to experience any of the trauma\u00a0of the high street I formerly described and\u00a0can get on with more worthwhile activities, b) things are quite often better value online, c) a smiley courier\u00a0will\u00a0deliver my purchase\u00a0to my doorstep in exchange for\u00a0a quick squiggle\u00a0(that would be\u00a0a signature…)\u00a0d) if\u00a0a shop is worth\u00a0its salt it will have a website anyway\u00a0(our local butchers is very handy in that way).\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
One of my favourite shops at the moment which has a magnificent website is ‘Tchibo’* (pronounced ‘Chee-bo’ I believe). I have made several excellent purchases from their online store, including a snowboarding outfit with pockets large enough to offer safe passage across a border, a jolly nice document sorting device I use for university work and a pair of very stylish lamps that illuminate our newly decorated bedroom. Every once in a while\u00a0I also recieve – via e-mail – a newsletter alerting me\u00a0that Tchibo has received some\u00a0new stock.\u00a0I normally have a look every time this happens to see if I can grab another bargian, although I also enjoy seeing what theme the purchasing and website team have gone for this week – and in the past they have been quite imaginitive….<\/p>\n
Last week was an ‘office product’ based page which was nice…..<\/p>\n
This week they have really pushed the boat out in their presentation….<\/p>\n
