When it comes to making purchases for my family, I must confess that I’m a huge fan of online shopping. With three kids, including an infant, and a busy work schedule, I prefer to buy what I need late at night in the comfort of my home, glass of wine in hand. It’s simple, stress-free, and usually results in bargains that may not be available in the actual store.
When deciding where to shop, I award huge bonus points to online stores that stock a variety of items, allowing me to one-click in a single space instead of having to visit several different websites. Imagine my surprise, when I recently discovered I could do all of this at BestBuy.ca. Obviously, I’m familiar with them for their technological and home entertainment products, but I was pleasantly surprised to discover they also carry an expanded assortment of quality lifestyle items.
For example, I can buy a bouncy chair for my baby, a video game for my teenager, and something special for the home from this single online store, allowing me to save both time and money (shipping fees), both of which are valuable to my family these days. I recently had a look at the site, and made a list of the goods I wouldn’t have expected to find on BestBuy.ca. Most of the items can be found on many mothers’ wish lists, and also make great gifts for a birthdays, baby showers, or special holidays.
So soft and snuggly, my baby went ape for his bouncy chair. This one offers up to 20 minutes of music and soothing nature sounds, ensuring the calming vibrations will comfort your baby and leave your hands free to complete some of those other time-consuming household tasks (laundry, I’m looking at you).
I’d be lost without my baby carrier (hockey rinks aren’t very stroller friendly!), and keep my Ergobaby with me at all times. The padded shoulder straps and supportive wide waistband make it comfortable for moms of all shapes and sizes.
Move over Netflix, because it’s time to make room for the reality show happening in your home! Video monitors have truly revolutionized how we keep tabs on our sleeping children, and if you’re a little neurotic like me, you’ll probably want to constantly check to make sure your child is still breathing. I also like being able to tell if my child is actually sleeping, or just playing, and the two-way communication is a great way for me to keep in touch with him from a distance.
This adaptable, roomy cardigan is great for wearing both during and after (especially when carrying a baby) pregnancy. It’s stylish and flattering, and the grey stripes are neutral enough to match most wardrobe essentials. I like that it can be worn as both a wrap and a buttoned-up sweater, allowing me to change the look to suit my style of the day.
I think the thing that surprised me the most about BestBuy.ca is that’s it’s even possible to purchase a bed online. This queen-sized top-quality steel frame is modern in design, yet will match most home décor seamlessly.
I’d be lying if I didn’t admit that I often add something to my online cart for myself when I’m shopping. I recently refinished my dining table and have been looking for stylish chairs that can be easily cleaned (baby! boys!). I think these modern ghost chairs fit the bill perfectly, and would make a chic addition to my busy dining room.
