The 5 Biggest Black Friday Blunders To Avoid

Make Your Wishlist, And Check It Twice

Has a family member or friend been dropping hints of something they’ve always wanted? Do they desperately need an upgrade on something? What are their hobbies? Interests? What do they love doing? These are the key questions to think about when making a Christmas gift list for your family and friends.

Once you’ve made your notes, work these into a casual conversation (just don’t make it obvious!) to discover whether they have made that upgrade or bought that item. This will provide you with valuable intel to narrow down your target items. For kids, it’s easy. Simply tell them to create their lists for Santa so you can mail them to the North Pole, and voila, mission accomplished. 

If you’re still short on ideas, check out our various gift guides including our mega guide to Christmas Gifting. Do this and you’ll be well on your way to becoming everyone’s favourite by buying the perfect Christmas gifts!

Start Creating Your Shopping List

Once you know what your friends and family want, it's time to put your shopping list together. You can come up with ideas by browsing categories you know would interest them and make educated guesses from there or chat with another friend, the person’s partner, or their family to ensure you get them the perfect gift. Jump online or head to your local store to get more tips and advice on the best products that'll make the perfect gifts. 

Keep An Eye Out For Black Friday Deals

Black Friday is all about being diligent. You need to keep an eye out for exciting announcements or price reductions. Some sales (like The Good Guys Black Friday sale) may start just before Black Friday even begins. While that might not always be the case, it’s something you never know about until it's announced. So sign up for emails, follow us on social media, and be vigilant.

Spread The Spending

Probably the best reason to be made for shopping gifts through Black Friday sales is how much it can help spread out the financial burden of Christmas. Instead of dropping all your money in December, you can spread it out over a couple of months. 

You'll get great deals and you'll be impressed by the savvy spending you make during Black Friday. No doubt, you’ll be everyone’s favourite come Christmas Day, but what no one will know is you managed to save money when buying these amazing presents!

Get The Gifts!

With Black Friday approaching, it pays to be fully prepared for the day ahead. Whether you’re going in-store or online, Black Friday is a time for insane deals that you won’t find any other time during the year.

The Good Guys go all out to give the best deals, and this gives you and your ability to shop greater power. Knowing what your friends and family want, you can see how feasible it will be to purchase these items on Black Friday. You might find that you’ll ultimately be saving a lot of money while getting gifts you might otherwise have been unable to afford.

Avoid The Crazy Christmas Rush

The Christmas season is often hectic for shopping. Unfortunately, with everyone shopping, the closer it gets to Christmas, the more stores begin running out of popular items. This results in a major issue for those who are unable to purchase the gifts their friends and family want. Here are our handy tips so you don't miss out!

  • Organise Early Delivery

Organising your Christmas gifts during the Black Friday sales will allow plenty of time for delivery, which can be the most challenging part of online shopping. With delays and long delivery timelines anticipated Australia-wide at Christmas, it’s important to ensure that you’re not left scrambling. No one likes to hit the shops last minute on *shudder* Christmas Eve.

  • Click & Collect Your Santa Sack

What’s just as good as organising early delivery? Picking it up when suits you! Click & Collect guarantees you’ll have your gifts ready for Christmas Day, and because you can pick them up in-store quickly, you can make sure the item is perfect. Don’t forget to check out special in-store-only gifts while you’re there!
