It would not be good Christmas if consumers will be facing price hikes of up to 15 percent on holiday goods. Everything will be affected such as Merry Christmas Cards to European luxury handbags. The burden will be for shoppers who are saving for a penny. Many retailers had resisted passing along higher prices to consumers because of rising energy prices, higher labor costs in China and a weak dollar. To save from pricey items, people are now looking for coupon codes everywhere to make ends meet.
The impact on the price increase could make shoppers buy fewer holiday gifts to stick to a budget. This could mean a serous punch among serious shoppers. Maybe a heartfelt gift of sending Christmas Cards to people whom you love will be the best this Christmas.
