00:00Let's talk about your strategies for having a budget-conscious, fun time for the summer.
00:08Oh my gosh, there are so many things to think about.
00:10We'll see those big sales in the home category, mattresses, appliances, furniture.
00:15Maybe not patio so much, but what we're seeing is a big trend towards getting outdoors.
00:22We all want to enjoy the weather, we want to hike, we want to camp, we want to go on adventures.
00:27And so I'm seeing a lot of activity in that space.
00:30Just be mindful to look for the deals and try to save along the way,
00:33if you need, say, a new tent or a new table for your patio, for example.
00:38And travel is back.
00:40Yeah.
00:41So is it time to update my luggage?
00:44Yes, it is.
00:46I'm seeing a lot of deals in luggage and other travel accessories.
00:49And if you haven't traveled since the beginning of the pandemic,
00:52the wheels on your suitcase might be a little clunky.
00:55You might need to update here and there, get some new mobile chargers and things like that.
00:59So look for deals there.
01:00I'm seeing a lot of activity in that space for travel.
01:03We all want to get back out there and enjoy the world now that the pandemic is receding.
01:08And one of your other trends for the summer is, I call it multi-functioning, right?
01:12Yes.
01:13Everything has to do double duty.
01:14Yes.
01:15I always look for things that can do more than one thing.
01:17And so we're seeing a lot of innovation in design right now in all different sectors.
01:22And so I'm always really excited to see something that does two or three or more things,
01:26because then I don't have to buy more things.
