Boxing Day shopping is an annual tradition for many Canadians. With the stress of gift buying behind us, the day is completely reserved for shopping for ourselves. These 5 helpful tips will help you maximize your shopping day:

1. Early bird gets the worm: Don’t hit the snooze button so you can have first pick over parking, fitting rooms, the help of a friendly sales clerk and merchandise before the store is filled with shoppers. (Check here for your local Plum store's hours.)
2. Take breaks: Eat a big breakfast and make sure you stop during the day for coffee breaks to recharge. Being hungry can affect your ability to make sound decisions on sale items.
3. Dress in the right clothes:  Layers will make trying on clothes a cinch.  Plus, if the fitting room line-up is too long, you can try clothes on in front of a mirror. To keep comfortable, forego the winter parka so don’t have to carry much and wear slip-on shoes.
4. Know what you need and how much you can spend: By doing a little planning ahead, you will have a better idea of what you want to spend your money on. That way you’ll be able to zero in on what you are actually looking for despite distractions.
5. Have fun: Boxing Day sales are about finding things you love for a deal, so don’t forget to enjoy yourself!

We all love our Kersh cardigans. They warm us up when we are cold. They tie our outfit together when we need a final layer. And they even add a pop of colour. For these reasons, the Kersh cardigans are closet essentials that we wear over and over again.  This holiday season share your love with a friend, mother, aunt or cousin. Here are 5 reasons why the Kersh cardigan makes a great gift:

1. You'll find her size easily: Finding her size is low-risk because the cardigan is has just five sizes to choose from: XS to XL.
2. There are two styles to choose from:  Both styles are popular so you can’t really go wrong. The ribbed waist cardigan slims your middle and works well with dresses. The open cardigan is a flattering length and is fun to layer.  Whatever her style or personality, these two designs will work for her.
3. You’re bound to find a colour that she doesn’t have: Every season, a new palette of colours that are exclusive to Plum stores is hand selected by the buyer. When choosing for someone else, you can either opt for a basic neutral that everyone needs, or you can go for a pop of colour! If you are picking out a brighter hue, go for something that would fit in with the colours that she already wears.
4. She’ll get so much wear out of her cardigan: Cardigans are closet essentials. You can dress them up or down; throw them over jeans or wear them with a dress. In the winter, they can be an extra layer, and in the summer, they can replace a jacket. Because we wear them all the time, we can never have too many cardigans.
5. They’re now on sale: Now get the ribbed waist cardigan for $39 (reg. $49) and the open cardigan for $45 (reg. $59). For under $50, she'll have a great gift that she'll wear all year round.

For a little sparkle when she opens it, add a piece of jewellery. The jewellery promo is still on until December 24^th. Buy one and get the second piece (of equal or lesser value) for 50% off! Details here.

For the casual holiday party, most women wear a dress or a printed blouse to look their best. These looks are flattering and fun, but this year, why don’t you wear something different? If you want to stand out from the crowd, put on a pair of the Mavi printed jeans.

Dress your pair up or down depending on the invite. For the casual holiday party, wear the jacquard jeans in wine with a white button-up, a black jacket and tons of jewels like we’ve shown below. If you like to show off your legs, this is the look for you. These wardrobe basics play up the print of the jeans so people will look straight at the print. Wear a pair of black high heels and you'll have legs for days.

Printed jeans are versatile so you’ll get more wear out of them than just at the party. On Monday, wear your pair again with a black collared shirt, a belted cardigan and ballet flats to go to work. When worn with these essentials, the printed jeans create easy stylish looks.

With the 50% off sale on the Mavi printed jeans, now is the time to give your legs the attention they deserve.

From now until the December 24th, get three styles of Mavi Printed Jeans for 50% off.

The three styles include the Alexa Printed Jacquard Jeans in Wine, the Alexa Printed Flower Cord in Caramel, and the Alexa Paisley Jeans in Caramel. (Shown clockwise below.)

Plus, buy one piece of jewellery and get the second piece (of equal or lesser value) for 50% off!
