Record online deals on toys, electronics and clothes coming this holiday season

NEW YORK – Online shoppers will be offered record-setting discounts this holiday season as retailers attempt to entice inflation-weary consumers to buy, according to projections released Thursday by Adobe Analytics. And the company predicts the strategy will work, with online holiday sales climbing almost 5% above last year.

Retailers are poised to offer up to 35% off listed prices this holiday season, with the deepest discounts applied to toys, electronics and apparel, Adobe said in its annual holiday forecast.

The company expects consumers to seize on these deals, and spend aggressively even as concerns about rising costs and the health of the economy continue to linger.

Consumers will likely spend $221.8 billion via online shopping between November 1 and the end of the year, according to Adobe. That would represent solid growth of 4.8% year-over-year, an acceleration of the 3.5% growth in 2022.

So what will people be buying? Adobe says the hottest sellers this season will include LEGO Minifigures, Kanoodle 3D, Barbie the Movie products, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, Madden NFL 24, iPhone 15 models and Birkenstock Bostons.

As your holiday shopping, check your websites twice, with more shopping comes more opportunities for scammers | News

By avi maxwel / in , , , , , , /

PADUCAH — While you’re shopping online this holiday season, remember the famous phrase, ‘checking it twice,’ in reference to double-checking the sites you’re shopping at. This time of the year, scammers prey on consumers buying online. Last year, consumers reported losing nearly $9 billion to fraud, according to the Federal Trade Commission. That’s a 30% increase from 2021.

When it comes to the different ways people get scammed, the most common way is an imposter scam, according to the FTC. An imposter scam is basically when a scammer lies about who they are to get your money. The second most common scam involves fake websites, which are also a risk this time of year. On the WPSD Facebook page we asked viewers if they had fallen victim to these scams. Several said yes.

Brittany Bailey expressed that she was scammed by a fake Bath and Body Works website. Once the money was taken out of her account, she never received her order, and there was no tracking number or way to contact them. Christina Hammons also expressed a similar experience online. She said she bought a discounted Thor’s hammer tool box set as a

Daisy Jones & the Six is ​​a blueprint for delicious holiday style | Fashion

By avi maxwel / in , , , , , , /

A rock’n’roll saga of love triangles, cocaine and tour buses might not sound of immediate relevance to your real-life summer holiday. Or hey, maybe it does – no judgment! Either way, if you haven’t watched Daisy Jones & the Six, the Amazon Prime ten-parter, then I’m here to tell you that you really, really should.

Mainly you should watch it because it’s just so much fun. Sexy, gripping, atmospheric, the sofa-viewing equivalent of a perfect summer sun lounger novel. (It is based on Taylor Jenkins Reid’s perfect sun lounger read of the same name.) But specifically you should watch it for its wardrobe, because it is a blueprint for the most delicious summer-holiday style.

Daisy Jones & the Six is ​​the story of a rock’n’roll band in 1970s California, by which I mean it is basically the story of Fleetwood Mac (the makers said they were partly inspired by the band). Guitar cases and whiskey bottles and intimate love-hate duets sung up close and personal on stage in front of thousands. And the clothes – oh, the clothes! Breezy, floaty, semi-transparent blouses. Crochet vests and denim shorts. Faded T-shirts and cool fringed tapestry coats and skinny scarves. Finished with long

How to Avoid Online Holiday Shopping Scams

By avi maxwel / in , , , , /

Black Friday is almost here, and the shopping holiday brings with it a flood of promotional emails and text messages from retailers promising steep discounts—if you act fast. Scammers take advantage of the blitz by sending their own emails and texts, except their links are designed to phish your personal information or steal your money. Here are some telltale signs of scams to watch out for, and what to do to keep yourself safe.

How to spot a Black Friday scam

Creating a false sense of urgency is a common scammer tactic, and Black Friday scams can take many forms. In 2022, scammers posed as Home Depot, sending emails promising $500 gift cards to a limited number of shoppers as part of a Black Friday deal. The catch: Buyers had to pay a small shipping fee to receive the phony prize.

If you receive an email or text that appears to be from a store you shop at regularly and promises an unusually good deal, think twice. Look at every URL before you click, and keep an eye out for unusual constructions or misspellings. Amaz0n.com is not the same as Amazon.com, for example, and usps.upspb.com is not the US
