Our beloved smartphones aren’t just vehicles for selfies and endless Facebook scrolling. No, they’re much more than that. On the other end of that Internet connection is all the best stuff in the world, just waiting to be shopped 24/7. So, without further adieu, here are 13 experiences that anyone who has ever been cheered up by an order confirmation email will relate to immediately.
1. Realizing you subscribe to 37 different shopping newsletters and not giving a damn. You never know when that sale you’ve been waiting for will come through. That’s what inboxes are for, right?
2. Being surprised when you see new restaurants and cafes at the mall because you never need to go there anymore. Crowded shopping centers are so yesteryear, and everything you could want is already on TaoBao.
3. Watching in amazement when you spot people lugging heavy appliances from the store. Why wouldn’t they just buy it online?! (Then helping them, of course, because you’re not a monster!)
4. Getting meals from the city’s best restaurants delivered straight to your door any time. FoodPanda is a food group right? Just kidding. We already know it is.
5. Always giving the best gifts. Your friends and family are amazed at how you remember every birthday. Your secret? It’s easy to find the right gift when you can shop online 24/7. Aunt Sally loves designer duds? Get her a steal on Yoox. Your little niece is a Steve Madden fan? You know exactly when it’s on sale. Best friend-iversary? Roses Only, on the way!
6. The satisfaction when someone asks you where you got something and you know they’ll never find it. “Oh, this ol’ thing? I got it online, baby.” Drops mic, walks off.
7. Ducking into the hallway for some breaktime phone browsing when Zalora is on sale. Sorry guys, gotta take this! Work might be from 9-5 but the online world never sleeps.
8. Knowing your credit card number by heart thanks to UOB YOLO‘s easy to read format. This innovative card has 16 digits vertically stacked in 4 rows to make it a breeze to read during time sensitive online transactions like getting the best Groupon deals.
9. That first inevitable rush you get by clicking “Confirm Order” on the latest gadget from Harvey Norman. It’s nice to stop and enjoy life’s little pleasures.
10. The second adrenaline rush when you see a package from ASOS in your mailbox. It’s like shopping plus your birthday plus Christmas all rolled into one.
11. The third (yes third!) adrenaline rush when that Rebecca Minkoff outfit you ordered fits perfectly! The world is a wonderful place filled with roses and rainbows and puppies!!
12. The feeling when you try on something and it doesn’t fit, but you don’t sweat it because you know you can easily exchange or return it. Who’s worried? Not us.
13. The pure unabated happiness you feel when your favorite sale comes around again. I’ve been waiting for you, my love.
