aka Emma Markezic, deputy chief sub-editor
Star sign  Leo (which means I like to think big, love big and shop big.)
Can be found  Reading SHOP’s pages twice (the first to pick out my purchases for the week, the second because it’s my job.)
Shopping style As the resident shopaholic, I suffer from self-diagnosed OCP (otherwise known as obsessive compulsive purchasing). So you could say, that for me, working at a shopping mag is like an alcoholic working at a beer factory… only slightly more socially acceptable… and a lot more fun.


ETA: 12 weeks and counting

Posted: 02 October 2008

Today is exactly 12 weeks till Christmas. That’s 84 days, six pays, three months and one giant headache come christmas shopping time. If it’s all too much for you, don’t fret. I’ve got some great gift ideas that you don’t even have to leave your living room to acquire.

To start with, go to  pstamps.auspost.com.au and get your loved ones some personalised stamps (cue shrieks of sheer delight at seeing ones own face on an Australia Post stamp), then head to oxfamunwrapped.com.au to give a deserving friend the gift of goat (the goat acutally goes to a needy family in a third world country but they still get to tell everyone they got a goat for Christmas, so really it’s a win-win) and to top it off, check out edibleblooms.com for Christmas hampers with a difference (think cakes made from Bundy and Coke for dad or gin and tonic for mum – great for sharing with thoughtful daughters).

That leaves you with exactly 83 days to pat yourself on the back for being such a savvy and organised shopper. Well done, you.
