Leave a reply

With the holiday season here, online shopping is the ultimate way to find great deals and skip the crowded stores. Not only does it save you from the hustle and bustle of holiday shopping, but it also allows you to shop at your convenience, anytime and anywhere. Here’s how you can shop smartly, find the best bargains, and enjoy the process—all while staying cozy in your pajamas!

1. Plan Ahead: Before diving into online shopping, make a list of the items you want to buy and set a budget. This helps you stay focused and prevents impulsive purchases.

2. Use Price Comparison Tools: Take advantage of price comparison websites and browser extensions that allow you to see the best prices across multiple retailers. This ensures you’re getting the best deal possible.

3. Sign Up for Newsletters and Alerts: Many retailers offer exclusive deals to their email subscribers. Sign up for newsletters and set up alerts for your favorite stores to be the first to know about sales and promotions.

4. Check for Coupons and Promo Codes: Always look for coupon codes before making a purchase. Websites like RetailMeNot and Honey provide a plethora of discount codes that can help you save even more.

5. Watch for Holiday Deals: Keep an eye out for special deals throughout the holiday season. Many retailers offer discounts leading up to the holidays, not just on major sale days like Black Friday and Cyber Monday.

6. Use Loyalty Programs: Join loyalty programs for additional perks and discounts. Points can often be redeemed for future purchases, providing even more savings.

7. Read Reviews and Ratings: Always read product reviews and check ratings before buying. This helps ensure you’re purchasing quality items and can save you from making costly mistakes.

8. Monitor Shipping Costs: Factor in shipping costs when comparing prices. Some stores offer free shipping on orders over a certain amount, so it might be worth bundling your purchases to save on delivery fees.

9. Beware of Scams: Shop only on reputable websites and check for secure connections (look for “https” in the URL). Avoid deals that seem too good to be true, as they may be scams.

10. Enjoy the Comfort of Home: One of the best parts of online shopping during the holiday season is doing it from the comfort of your home. Slip into your favorite pajamas, make a cup of hot chocolate, and enjoy a stress-free shopping experience.

By following these tips, you’ll be well on your way to finding the best holiday deals and having a delightful shopping experience—all without leaving your cozy spot. Happy shopping!

Help Make Childbirth and Pregnancy Safe With Your Holiday Shopping

By Ellie Badanes, Founder & CEO, The Pajama Company

As an important member of The Pajama Company community, we wanted to let you know about something close to our heart. 

Every two minutes, one woman dies due to complications related to childbirth or pregnancy. But 98% of those deaths are preventable. These preventable deaths are happening everyday around the world, and believe it or not, here in the United States.

In 2011, this startling statistic led us to make an unprecedented decision at The Pajama Company. We knew pajamas could be about more than a lazy day at home (though we all need those, too). Pajamas give us comfort and a feeling of safety. It’s a feeling those of us fortunate to live in safe places with access to excellent health care take for granted. We wanted to use our pajamas to help more women feel that comfort around the world.

So we began our partnership with Every Mother Counts, an advocacy and mobilization campaign to increase education and support for maternal and child health. Thanks to all of you, we’ve helped raise awareness about the serious dangers too many women still face in pregnancy and child birth. Thanks to all of you, we’ve contributed to programs helping women around the world to have better outcomes.

Through their work, Every Mother Counts has impacted the lives of more than 500,000 women. This includes providing healthcare to 50,000 mothers and children in Haiti and helping more than 90,000 mothers reach quality healthcare in Uganda.

But their work is not only focused abroad. The United States is one of only 13 countries where maternal mortality is on the rise. Every Mother Counts is working to help low income women in the U.S. access childbirth education and prenatal care.

As a mother, I started The Pajama Company, to bring comfort to families and celebrate those moments when we are home with our loved ones. I know many of you are mothers, too. Becoming a mother can bring so much joy to life, it should not threaten life.

You can help us continue to support their important efforts through your holiday shopping today. Today, Giving Tuesday, we’re donating 10% of all our pajama sales to Every Mother Counts.

We hope you will continue with us in our support of mothers around the world. Read more about maternal mortality on our website, and learn more about the issue at EveryMotherCounts.org. Make your pajama purchases count for a little more by shopping with us on Maternal Health Monday (today) and tell your friends about it on Facebook and Twitter.

From one mother to another, let’s remember that all moms count.
