SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--With only 9 days of Christmas shopping left, and only 7 days of shipping time left, many shoppers will be heading out to their local malls this weekend to pick-up those few last gifts.
If the thought of fighting traffic and lines, and/or waiting for a parking spot for 10 minutes makes you cringe in despair, take the easy road and shop online at RubyLane.com from the comfort of your home.
“Ruby Lane offers over 470,000 unique vintage, antique and collectible items from more than 2,500 shops from around the world,” says Palmer Pekarek, Director of Communications and New Business Development at Ruby Lane. “And, with ample time to have items shipped, shopping on the site saves your time, gas, and hopefully patience.”
“When I was a child, I had a tutor named Mrs. Miller,” says Pekarek. “She was so supportive and kind; and my fondest memory of her was that she loved the holidays. Her house was decorated so elegantly, and she always wore a different holiday themed brooch during the month of December. So for Christmas this year, I jumped on Ruby Lane and found the perfect holiday pin for Mrs. Miller. It took 7 minutes to search, browse, purchase, and ship the item directly to my favorite former tutor – and I never left the house.”
For many shoppers, it is about giving that meaningful gift to a loved-one. That one gift that says it all: I remember what you like; I pay attention to what you say; I know this is what will make you happy. Ruby Lane just makes it easy to find, purchase, and send.
“I like to shop in the following manner, beware it can be a bit self indulgent,” says Pekarek. “Buy one gift on my list, by one gift for me, and so on. This year I have my eye on a 1967 G.I Joe, lunchbox thermos for myself (http://www.rubylane.com/item/669694-5408/1967-G-I-Joe-Lunchbox78 ). It is so cool, and brings back such great memories of playing ‘Soldier’ with friends in the backyard of my childhood home.”
So before you head to the mall, consider the ease of browsing over 470,000 unique items from Ruby Lane’s 2,500 shops – you’re sure to find a holiday gift, or perfect home item, that will be treasured for a lifetime. Shop RubyLane.com.
