Well it is that time of the year again{sm4}
Did my first major shopping trip with the better half and plenty to chase around for. Luckily shops open a bit later today so got in a good three hours. Seems I came out best from this trip{sm4}. Ben Sherman T shirts seem popular in my family athough as per usual have to hold off buying too many clothes as they will be significantly cheaper after Christmas.
Running a TS shop is interesting at this time as it is when the family members come in with their lists. In some cases the family members have absolutely no interest in the items they are buying for their husband/father and treat it like a chore. On the other side is the family like the one that came in today. Wife and three kids and all into getting the best selection and clearly had done their research online to see which on the list each liked.They even knew which figures fought each other. The wife had even taken photos of her husbands displays to show me so that we could discuss which items on the list would go best with his collection. Now that is a wife putting her mobile phone to good use. Always good to see wives like that and with this particular one it was her and not me who said there are other things he could be interested in such as smoking and drinking etc and better it be little soldiers.
Anyway enjoy your shopping guys and if not too late tell your family how useful their mobiles can be{sm4}
