Looking for the Perfect Gift?\nAnd one that you\u2019ll actually get on time for the Holidays?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gift Cards Maybe your Answer.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The holidays are coming and\nit\u2019s time to hit the shops! Unfortunately, unless you\u2019ve been living under a\nrock, you\u2019ve likely heard that this year\u2019s pre-holiday shopping will be quite\ndifferent from what you\u2019ve experienced in other years. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

First, retailers and\nmanufacturers are warning of severe supply shortages that can last deep into\n2022. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Suppliers are struggling to\nstay ahead of shoppers\u2019 demands while still catching up on the manufacturing\nlag they experienced during the pandemic lockdown. They\u2019re also dealing with a\nlabor shortage, which makes it challenging to meet their own manufacturing\nquotas. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Second, even when manufacturers manage to keep the supply of their products ahead of the demand, they\u2019re facing significant delays when the goods land in the U.S. In mid-September, a record 70 cargo ships were waiting to dock in the LA and Long Beach ports, two ports that handle approximately 40% of the country\u2019s imported goods. The backup has since decreased in intensity but is still present, and will likely continue to be a kink in the delivery chain deep into 2022. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Third, experts are warning consumers not to count on finding those super-hot deals this season while shopping to complete their gift list. Instead, the prices you\u2019ll find on toys, clothing, electronics, and other items will likely be higher than usual, thanks to factors like inflation, the rising cost of fuel, and supply that falls well below demand. With shoppers eager to get their hands on the few goods that are available, retailers also have less of an incentive to offer promotions and steep discounts on any gift items. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In short, as a shopper, you\u2019ll be looking at\nempty shelves, delayed shipping, and hiked-up prices. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
