Welcome to The Global Shopper …
A cyber centric online resource for finding the best places and products from around the globe.
But enough about us, what about you?
Let me guess… you’re a clued in professional with an eye for style but a schedule that could inspire a heart attack in lesser mortals. You also like fabulous, exciting, and different things (because, let’s face it, you deserve ‘em) but are sick of your searches coming up with the same old stuff from the same old retailers.
Every. Single. Time.
I know. I know. For you, internet retail has become a little like Cyber Groundhog Day (minus Bill Murray and a timeless soundtrack.)
But you’re a smart cookie. You know there are more than ten million webstores out there in internet-land so how come you keep getting the same old names. Surely this online shopping system is rigged.
But sometimes you JUST want to find…
That one damn site you found one lazy Sunday (ugh, why didn’t you write that one down…??), which you were sure would have been PERFECT for sourcing a scene-stealing dress for your least favorite cousin’s wedding. Damn it.
Some gorgeous linens from a quaint Parisian boutique for your wedding registry... or personalized notecards from a bespoke British stationer for your invitations, but HOW? You don’t have plans to board a long haul flight anytime soon.
Killer GIFT to satisfy your not-so-secret desire to be the Meryl Streep of the Gift Giving Academy. Because, be honest, nothing shows how awesome you are more than watching the look of awe when someone opens that one-of-a-kind gift that you found.
And forget that old adage that it’s the thought that counts - try giving your best friend an amazing “thought” for her next birthday and see how it goes down.
Spoiler alert: not well.
YOU JUST WISH THAT there was a searchable online resource that would easily direct you to the perfect, most unique, fun, different, exciting, high-quality stores from around the world to make all of this searching and shopping wayyyy more seamless….
Whether you don’t have the time, enthusiasm, or patience to trawl online finding hidden retail gems, I have some good news.
I’m great at all of those things. ALL OF THEM. That’s why I created The Global Shopper a.k.a. the online shopping resource you’ve been dreaming of AND THE WEBSITE YOU’RE READING RIGHT THE HELL NOW.
*choir of angels starts singing*
Yes. It’s true.
Let me introduce myself. Hi. I’m Nicole, an Oreo obsessed cyber shopping ninja who spends far too much time online searching for the very best estores so you don’t have to.
As the author of The Global Shopper book series, I’ve spent over a decade researching and reviewing literally hundreds of online stores – the good, the bad, and the really ugly.
My mission is to go beyond standard search engine finds and share the best webstores selling everything from fabulous fashion and boutique beauty essentials to unique home décor items and babygoods so cute you’ll be wanting adult sizes.
To me, the Fed Ex van is the grown up version of the ice cream truck.
Join me on an international cyber shopping trip without leaving your laptop.
Because nothing’s worth leaving wine and sofa time for.
Except Oreos.
So sit back, relax and get ready to be awed, amazed, and entertained by the world’s most gasp inducing stores you (and your wallet) have ever seen.
Go ahead … start shopping.
