Black Friday Shopping Tips:

6

Simple, Savvy Steps to Save Your Sanity…and Cents

1. Make a list & 3.

Plan your trip Seasoned shoppers scout stores a day budget, and follow it or two ahead of Black Friday to learn (OK, TRY)

Shopping is fun, but overspending?

Not so much. Scan the ads, do research online and know what you want (and what you can afford).

That way, when faced with multitudes of “good deals,” you’ll know what to do.

Paying with cash is a good idea, too; just keep it safe.

2.

Stay hydrated Winter air is dry, heated buildings are even drier and add to that the fact that you’ll probably be conducting something very close to a workout. So bring a water bottle or two and some snacks and stay on top of your game.

or refresh themselves with the layout and the locations of items. Knowing the mall layout is also key.

5. Partner up

Whether it’s a spouse, a BFF or mature-enough kiddo, a partner can be your voice of reason, your motivator and, yes, a place holder in line (while you’re off scoring more deals…).

4. Stay connected 6. Get your Zen on Bring a cell phone and a charger.

Retailers might offer real-time promotions, and you can stay on top of the latest deals that way. Plus, plan as you may, you’ll probably need to call home at some time to ask if Uncle Josh or Aunt Jessi need Dbacks tees.

ONE LAST TIP?

Black Friday at any mall in America will be crowded, full of lines and parking may be perplexing. Remember to be patient, even if no one else is, and go easy on retail staff.Yes, they’re getting paid, but they’re giving up their long weekend, too. Most of all, have fun!

Check out the Coca-Cola® Chill area from midnight to 8 a.m.! Sit back, enjoy a complimentary ice-cold Coca-Cola®, get your picture taken, enjoy games and activities, and try to win some great prizes! Located in the Food Court near Paradise Bakery.

Now

L

ots of new and wow-worthy stores have opened their doors over the past twelve months, including hot retailers such as Michael Kors,Vera Bradley and the chic-butcheap fashion powerhouse from Sweden, H & M. Thanks to the additional new storefronts and some other merchants’ snazzy store remodels, Chandler’s lightfilled destination mall looks decidedly “refreshed” this holiday season!

So, grab those lists, head over to Chandler Fashion Center and check out those favorite shops that have been making you happy all these years as well as these exciting new arrivals:

H&M That collective sigh of relief is from Valley fashionistas who can’t get enough of style-conscious looks at bargainbasement prices. But H&M is an equal opportunity vendor, so even the kids’ and guys’ departments deliver function with funk, too.

Michael Kors No need to be intimidated by this highend, luxury retailer featuring oh-so-chic apparel, shoes and accessories from the American designer and Project Runway judge.There’s something for every budget here, like an iPhone cover for less than $40.

Vera Bradley It doesn’t matter if you’re 15, 50 or 95, these purses, luggage pieces, backpacks and, yes, even gloves – all created from cozy, quilted fabric done up in rich patterns and vibrant hues – are things you truly want. No, desire. No, need. Now.

Lush What more can you ask for? The Britishborn cosmetics company uses fresh, organic fruits and veggies and safe synthetics, doesn’t test on animals or use excessive packaging.

So you can sit back and enjoy those bath bombs and face powders, guilt-free.

open!

Lids If you or someone in your life is even remotely into sports and likes showing team spirit, you’ve probably visited this shrine to capdom, where you can find the hat you want for just about any team, from just about any brand and in just about any style.

Lululemon Athletica Behind the Canadian retailer’s quirky name is some serious clothing specifically

designed for the yoga, cycling and running crowd. What’s even cooler? Less athletically inclined types will appreciate the well-made, comfy pieces, too.

Francesca’s Collections This boutique offers women’s accessories and apparel that is flirty, yet ladylike, and vintage-y, yet modern, all at the once.

Unusual gift items, like a pickle-shaped wine stopper and “ninjabread man” cookie cutters, amp up the fun factor.

Cotton On This Australian import, currently taking the fashion world by storm, takes its name from the Aussie slang term for “trendy” or “cool,” which is what you’ll feel like when sauntering out in one of their faux-fur vests, printed denim jeans or hoodies.

PetMatch Sometimes, adopting a dog or cat is the perfect thing to do around the holidays. Chandler Fashion Center, together with the Arizona Animal Welfare League and PetSmart Charities, hosts a PetMatch adoption center on the upper level near DILLARD’S.
