Get Ahead of the Game: Early Christmas Holiday Shopping Tips

Tuesday, September 26th, 2023

It’s the most wonderful time of the year again. With just a few weeks left before the holiday season is officially in full swing, it’s time to start thinking about what to get your loved ones for Christmas. While some people might enjoy the hustle and bustle of shopping during the holiday rush, others dread the crowds and long lines that come with it. If you’re the latter, then you might want to consider starting your holiday shopping early this year. Not sure where to begin? Here are some tips that will help you get ahead of the game.

1. Make a list and check it twice. Before heading out to start your holiday shopping, make sure that you have a list of all the people you need to buy gifts for. This will help you stay organized and ensure that you don’t forget anyone. You can also add your budget next to each person’s name to keep your spending in check.

2. Already struggling for time?  Shop online for your gifts. Do your research early and determine which online store is right for you. What kind of selection do they have. What is their shipping time? What about their return policy? Determining these facts will help you when you are ready to click the buy button online.

3. Start buying early. The earlier you start your holiday shopping, the less likely you are to encounter the hustle and bustle. Plus, you’ll have more time to find the perfect gifts for your loved ones. Consider doing some online shopping to save time and avoid the crowds altogether.

4. Take advantage of sales and promotions. Many stores offer early bird discounts and specials for those who start their holiday shopping sooner. Check your favorite stores’ websites or sign up for their newsletters to stay informed of any sales or promotions.

5. Consider DIY gifts. If you’re feeling crafty, consider making some handmade gifts for your loved ones. Homemade gifts are a thoughtful way to show your love and appreciation, and they’re often more affordable than store-bought ones.

6. Don’t forget about wrapping. Once you’ve got all your gifts, get creative and wrap them up nicely. Doing so will add that extra touch of thoughtfulness to your gift. You can either wrap them yourself or hire a professional gift wrapping service if you’re not feeling up for the task.

Of course if you are shopping for a kimono or yukata, Chopa, the Kimono Shop is the right choice. Chopa was established in 1994 and is a leading online provider of Japanese kimono and yukata robes. They carry a large selection and offer many sizes to fit your body type. Produced in 100% cotton, the robes are easy to care for and a joy to wear. What makes a better gift than loungewear?

Shop online and sit back and relax. Chopa has your back when it comes to gifts. They can ship now or hold your package until a selected date that you choose. Refunds are simple and they offer an extended return window for the Christmas holiday.

With these tips, you can get a head start on your holiday shopping while avoiding the stress that comes with last-minute gift shopping. Remember to keep your budget in mind, and don’t forget to enjoy the holiday season with your loved ones. Happy shopping!

Let Go of the Small Stuff – Focus on the Good Around You.

Tuesday, October 12th, 2021

We just introduced our newest Mala Beads to our online store.  The Moss Agate Mala Necklace is now available for immediate shipping. This beautiful necklace is hand strung with smooth, polished 8mm natural beads. The necklace measures 36″ in circumference and holds 108 mala beads, a 10mm guru bead and is tied with an Endless Knot.  The Endless Knot is symbolic of wisdom and the ultimate unity of everything.  Two complimenting danglers each strung with three beads complete the necklace.

A mala bead necklace can be used in a variety of ways. Some use them for meditation practice, holding the necklace over your palm with the  beads between your thumb and forefinger. As you pass each bead through the fingers, you recite a mantra. By using this meditation technique, you avoid having to count the beads and this helps keep the mind clear and focused on reciting the mantra.

Others wear the beads around their wrists as a bracelet. Since they are strung on a nylon stretchable cord, it can be wrapped around your wrist several times producing a stylish and eye-catching piece of jewelry. Of course, since it is a necklace you can adorn yourself with a gorgeous necklace on your neck, which goes well with most everything.

Moss Agate is not truly from the agate family, but rather chalcedony. It contains a dendritic or branch-like structure inside the stone of chrome, manganese and sometimes iron. This structure produces an alluring combination of light and dark shades of green with delicate hints of blues, blacks, grays and whites. Moss agate is mined mostly in India, and is commonly used in decorative arts and jewelry.

This stone is highly regarded among health and wellness practitioners as a healing tool. This gorgeous stone is believed to bring harmony and clarity to your world, producing confidence and protecting against stress. It encourages grounding and reminds us to let go of the small stuff and focus on all that is good around us. This allows the energy of love to flow freely and to attract the love that you need.

Chopa offers fast shipping and includes a free mala bag to store and protect your beads. As a reminder it is never to early to shop for Christmas. Many insiders and retail experts predict possible shortages this year. We have been working hard to obtain adequate supplies of mala beads and our specialty, Japanese Kimono and Yukata robes. We receive many notes throughout the year from customers that discovered kimonos make wonderful meditation robes. The warmth of the cotton robe helps maintain heat, keeping the body at a steady temperature and providing clarity and focus on the meditation session.

This Moss Agate Mala Necklace is ready to ship. Whether you purchase one for yourself or a gift recipient, everyone will be pleased. Mala beads are what we call “meaningful jewelry” and “gifts with a purpose.” It is something that can be used on a regular basis if meditating and will remind the recipient of you every time it is worn.  This is the last and only shipment of these beads we will receive this year.
