The big day is almost upon us. As
previously predicted, I have a lot of wrapping left for the last minute. That’s
my thing, I shop just fine, but leave wrapping until the day before – or worse,
the day of. Sigh.
Some people are scrambling for last
minute gifts. This is not a theory, I know this to be true because I was at the
Post Office yesterday and heard people talking in line. Why I was at the Post
Office with three boxes in my arms will not be discussed at this time. Or any
other time. That’s not the point. Anyone left out at this point in time gets something
drop-shipped from Amazon, except . . .
We’re running out of time on the
two-day shipping option and not everything can be overnighted. So you’re
hoping that anyone you forgot on your Christmas list is local and the weather is decent so you can
pick up something and drop it off in person.
But what if the weather is so bad
even Rudolph wouldn’t go out in it? Or that person you forgot until you
received their gift/card in the mail isn’t local? Never fear, there is a
solution.
Remember when I told everyone about
the Amazon Matchbook program? Buy a physical book to give as a gift (if you
like) and get a discount on the eBook as well (in the case of my books, the
eBook is free if you buy the paperback). Well, it’s a little late for that now. However, you can still give the eBook as a gift. The gift option is
under the “Buy Now” button on the right. It allows you to purchase the eBook
version for someone. Amazon send them a notification and they accept the gift,
download onto their Kindle(app) and voila! You remembered. Because eBooks are
great. Save the trees, convenience, In the case of romance you don’t have to
find another way to hide the cover. . . See? Ebooks are the way to go and you’re
sharing that with someone.
Shopping problem solved. And no
wrapping issues either.
