How to Get Gifts Your Friends Actually Want for Less

This is a sponsored feature. All opinions are 100% from Her Campus.

It happens every year: you think you’re going to get all our holiday shopping done on Black Friday, but all of a sudden it’s Thanksgiving and you haven’t even thought about what your mom or boyfriend would want for Christmas.  But don’t think that you have no shot of getting great deals now that Black Friday is over! We found an app and website that are about to make your holiday shopping sooo much easier.

Meet Shopcade, a shopping community where fashion lovers can discover the latest trends from their favorite brands and receive personalized sale offers all in one place. With Shopcade, you can make an infinite number of wish lists—party dresses for you, Christmas gifts for your sister, you name it—and save items you want in them for later. Shopcade features millions of products from thousands of stores, and they also have a handy toolbar plugin or bookmarklet (like Pinterest’s “Pin It” button) to save anything you see on the web for later. You can also download the Shopcade app, which is available for both iOS and Android.

The best part? Shopcade alerts you when an item in one of your lists goes on sale or if there is a special offer you should know about, so you’ll never miss a sale!

You can also see your friends’ wish lists—so why not get gift ideas for your sorority little from her own Shopcade? It’s definitely easier than trying to sneakily ask her what she wants (admit it, you’ve never been subtle)!  You can also be inspired by celebs’, bloggers’ and other trendsetters’ featured looks and fave items on Shopcade.

So stop worrying about your holiday shopping! Shopcade has you covered, so you’re free to focus on finals—although, let’s be real, once you start shopping on Shopcade, your studying may become less of a priority.  Don’t say we didn’t warn you, shopping addicts…
