You may well have wondered about my absence for the last few days. I was not away and neither was I extremely busy ( except for the days when friends came over to stay with us from London and Swindon). I was here only, in the virtual world, exploring the e bay shops. Even after having lived in UK for three years on and off, I am still not able to make myself spend money on things I want to buy. I am always converting the value of the desired item from Pound into rupees and thus making it difficult for myself to purchase it. Carboot sale is a good option to buy routine things, but you generally don’t get good and new gift items there. For bargain gift items like beauty products, secondhand charity shops are best. They stock branded items in proper packaging and at reduced price.
My mother, sister and her kids are planning to come from India to visit us. I want to collect as many gifts as possible before they arrive. I have two months to do my shopping, so I won’t feel the pinch that much. I have been checking e bay for good bargains and definitely found some gems. I search through Argos, ELC and other sites for gift ideas and then make a comparison with the prices on these or similar products on ebay. The ebay products are chepare, even after paying for postage.
