Long before the advent of the Internet when I was a Mom with young babies and children, I preferred catalogue shopping. Malls were in their infancy, and mainly strip shopping centers existed. I found I was able to get a better selection of natural clothing and educational toys and products through catalogues.

Whenever I was able to get together with other playgroup moms, or the members of the Junior Women’s Club that I belonged to, we exchanged catalogs.

Thank goodness the dawn of the digital era makes this whole process just a little easier! I’ve become a huge advocate of online shopping, even now that my children are grown. As the holiday season approaches, I recommend you check out SHOP.COM, a comparison shopping site specifically designed for women that allows you to shop from over 2,000 merchants all in one place. Purchases can be conveniently made using one universal “shopping cart” to buy everything at one time or by clicking over to participating merchants’ sites.

SHOP.COM gives busy Moms an opportunity to ease the stress of holiday shopping with tools to help us figure out what to buy, find recommendations, and pinpoint which stores have the best price. With a combined total of over 20 million products, we can stop running from store to store to find the best deal or the perfect gift for the impossible-to-shop-for relative. You’ll find sections for clothing, baby products, electronics, home décor and more. There’s even a section to see which shops offer Free Shipping ~ which is an added-value plus during the holidays when shopping for many people!

Additionally, SHOP.COM provides expert advice, shopping tips, and articles, while giving easy ways to save money via price comparison tools, coupons, and rebates.

Whether you’re a Baby Boomer Grandma with tired feet, or a mom with a toddlers in tow, try it out this Holiday Season and see for yourself. Visit http://shop.com for hostess gifts as well as for your whole family.
