It was a very busy December at Shopsafe, as more people than ever used our site to find well known retailers, as well as specialist online shops for those extra special gifts. But our busiest day of the December so far was, surprisingly, the 26th of December.

It looks as if as well as embracing online shopping for Christmas, people are now using the web to shop online in the January Sales. It certainly beats the Boxing Day queues.

There are some fantastic bargains to be found, with many retailers offering amazing discounts to try to sell any Christmas stock still left over. And many of the sales started online a day earlier than on the high street, another incentive to shop online.
