Experts estimate that Americans will spend $33 billion shopping online this holiday season, and that the average adult holiday expenditure will exceed $800. To get the most bang for your buck when shopping online, it pays to look for an online discount gift shopping mall.

Advantages of Online Shopping Malls

The two main advantages of buying at an online discount gift shopping mall are variety and budget prices. When it comes to variety, a good online mall will have everything from automotive gifts and accessories to jewelry gifts to games and toys. As for price, an online retailer doesn't have the same overhead costs as a brick-and-mortar retailer, and so can pass along the savings to you. You should be able to find honest wholesale prices as well as discounted items.

The third advantage of an online shopping mall is that it can serve as your one-stop shopping source. The wide variety of items means that you can find the perfect gifts for your spouse, your kids, your parents, your siblings, and everyone else on your gift list.

The fourth advantage of doing your holiday shopping at an online mall is that many online sources use drop shipping to fulfill orders. This means that you can choose from as many as half a million gifts, and that you don't have to combine your purchases into single shipment. The best online malls provide tracking numbers for all shipments, so that you can ship to multiple addresses and can ensure that each present arrives at its proper destination.

Gift Ideas

Once you find a great online discount gift shopping mall, the fun can begin. It's helpful to keep a list of gift ideas handy, but you can also browse for ideas. Perhaps you will discover that you want to buy a DVD player for your son, candles for your nieces, jewelry for your wife, luggage for your daughter, and a decorative garden figurine for your neighbor.

Some online malls also offer a variety of discount gift baskets, which are perfect to buy as gifts for recipients who are out of town, or when you need thank you gift baskets to send after dinner parties or holiday parties. Recipients always appreciate unique gift baskets, and online discount malls offer collections that would make anyone feel special.

When it comes to personal electronics, online malls offer unbeatable selections and steeply discounted prices. Experts agree that personal electronics will top most people's gift lists this holiday season, so whether you're looking for an MP3 player, a cell phone, a DVD player, or a computer, make an online discount gift shopping mall your first (and possibly last!) shopping destination.

Even with the oncoming world financial crisis, here in Bulgaria they are still moving into western times with the largest shopping mall in Bulgaria under the title 'Park Cherno More' which means 'Black Sea Park'. This is going to be built in Varna the so called capital of the Black Sea Coast. The Park Cherno More site is to be at Vladislav Varnenchik Blvd this was formerly a diesel engine factory.

Even with the oncoming world financial crisis, here in Bulgaria they are still moving into western times with the largest shopping mall in Bulgaria under the title 'Park Cherno More' which means 'Black Sea Park'. This is going to be built in Varna the so called capital of the Black Sea Coast. The Park Cherno More site is to be at Vladislav Varnenchik Blvd this was formerly a diesel engine factory.

The investors are from consortiums from Germany and Austria who now have permits to go ahead with the construction. There is still some doubt as to when it will start as the Austria partners are dilly dallying whether the current global financial crisis that has hit them hard give them second thoughts about proceeding

This venture is massive for Bulgaria with 145,000 square metres of shopping area and a parking for 1800 cars. I doubt whether many Ladas will be seen parked there by the time is is built.

60% of its stores have already been leased out to retail companies, probably global based names that have a mission to cover every town and city in Bulgaria. With these contracts already in place there is now 60,000 square metres allocated as 'live' businesses.

Varna's current largest shopping mall is located in the city centre. Called 'Mall Varna' it has an area 70,000 square meters with parking for 760 cars. The proposed site is more than double that!

This just is another example of more sterile shopping malls in Bulgaria. It is an inevitable and not the last I fear as demand is there in not only the tourist regions but from resident Bulgarians in other towns and cities who feel that the simulation with other modern western countries is the only way forward. Well maybe I'm too old to think that way along with all the other older generation of Bulgarians I now live with.

Varna has a population of 500,00 citizens maybe half of them will visit the malls. There are currently three malls, 'The Central Plaza,' 'The Pfohe Mall' and the already spoken for 'Varna Mall.' At the moment there are three more mall under construction. The fact of the matter is that soon there will be six large malls and one smaller one. Each of the bigger malls has to reach a target of 100,000 to make it a viable business, i.e. make a profit. How many people were there in Varna that visit malls again?

Bulgaria, what a country!! Having abandoned the UK two years ago I have lived and worked within the Bulgarian community throughout this time. The Bulgaria found was found to be very different from many accounts read from other expatriates that have come here. The real Bulgaria has been found from within the Bulgarian community coming from a British expatriate who tells how it actually is. http://bulgarianslivatree.com
