Romantic Christmas is approaching, online shopping presents popular in colleges and universities
As the end of the semester approaches and Christmas draws near, college students are caught in a tight spot between financial limitations and the desire to celebrate the holiday. This tension has led many to turn to online shopping as their go-to solution. With a wide variety of products and competitive prices, the internet has become the top choice for students looking to find affordable gifts.
On the afternoon of the 7th, at Jilin Agricultural University, a group of girls were gathered indoors, surrounded by piles of packages that looked like small hills. Dozens of students were huddled together, searching online for the perfect items. The scene was lively and full of excitement. Yang Nan, one of the students, shared her experience: “It’s almost Christmas, and I want to buy a sweater for my boyfriend. But the prices in physical stores are way too high. I can get better deals online.â€
The author noticed that most of the packages were Christmas gifts ordered online. Yang explained that with the holiday approaching, everyone is thinking about what to give friends and loved ones. However, many students are in a period of financial stress, and prices have been rising steadily. After checking out local shops, she found that even simple gifts cost over $100. Asking her parents for money feels uncomfortable, so she prefers to save on daily expenses and shop online instead.
It turns out that many students share this approach. Buying Christmas gifts online has become a popular trend on campus. As Yang put it, “Online shopping is mainly about saving money.†On the eve of Christmas, more and more students are choosing to skip traditional stores and go straight to the internet. They plan ahead, set budgets, and carefully browse different options before making their purchases.
On the same day, the author logged onto Taobao and searched for “Christmas Tree.†The results were overwhelming — over 88,846 items were listed for sale. A seller shared that last year, Christmas trees weren’t very popular on the platform, but this year, demand has surged. One seller reported that a 1.8-meter tall tree priced at RMB 108 sold 114 units per month.
As the season progresses, other items like sweaters and scarves — known for their warmth and affordability — have become popular choices for exchanging Christmas gifts. It's clear that online shopping isn't just a trend, but a practical and smart choice for students who want to celebrate the holidays without breaking the bank.
