Not only have I found the PERFECT place to do all of your Boxing Day shopping but I am going to divulge all of my secret tips and tricks to help make Boxing Day a breeze!
I recently had the pleasure of visiting the Toronto Premium Outlets to pre-shop their Boxing Day sales and I have to say I fell in love!

Boxing Day Tips & Tricks
1 - Dress Comfortably!
Boxing Day can be a little bit hectic and it comes with long hours, crazy lines and tired feet. Make sure to wear simple pieces that are not only comfortable and breathable but can easily be removed or layered upon when you need to try something on. Also, skip the cute shoes and go for sneakers or comfortable flats that will survive a long day.
2 - Make A Plan & Write It Out!
Do your research before you go. Have an idea of what you are looking for, where to get it and what it might cost. Map out the mall and figure out what your action plan is so you can make the most of your time. Write out lists and keep them on hand so you don't forget anything!
3 - Shop Alone!
As much fun as it might be to shop with your best girlfriends, Boxing Day is best done by yourself. If you want to stick to your plan and accomplish every task on your list, try shopping alone. It will help you stay focused and you will all be happier at the end of the day.
4 - Bring Snacks & Water!
You don't want to waste precious time in a chaotic food court but it's also important to stay hydrated and keep your energy up. Pack a protein bar or a quick snack in your bag and bring a bottle of water or two.
5 - Stay Calm!
Boxing Day can be stressful for everyone involved. Not only will shoppers be in a rush but employees will be quite anxious. Take the time to step back, breathe deeply and remember your manners. It will help you have a more positive experience but it will also help those around you.
If you follow these tips and tricks you will, without a doubt, have a successful Boxing Day!
I was lucky enough to shop the Toronto Premium Outlets ahead of time and I scored some incredible luxury goods at prices that are out of this world!

I managed to grab a STUNNING bucket bag from Vince Camuto for only $154 (originally $310), a compact wallet from Ted Baker for $53 (originally $120) and a few other incredible steals that I would have never found anywhere else!
