The secret to holiday shopping is finding the right gift \u2013 and the secret to finding the right gift online is using the right tool, like Microsoft Bing<\/a>. Bing gives back time and value, making it faster and easier for you to go from searching to finalizing your holiday shopping.<\/p>\n

Looking for some inspiration? Search for \u201cGift ideas<\/a>\u201d with Bing and \u2013 like many search engines \u2013 you will be rewarded with millions of results. But from there, Bing helps you cut through the clutter by providing categories of trending products that can help guide your search for that perfect gift. Looking for something for Ages 2-5 years<\/a>, or for Preteens<\/a>? Something for Techies<\/a> or Travelers<\/a>? Animal Lovers<\/a>, or Cooks & bakers<\/a>? Explore any of these topics to find subgroups to help you refine your search even further (phone tripods, for example, under the Travelers<\/a> category.) These, and other, Bing categories can save you time and provide some much-needed inspiration when millions of gift ideas are just too much to handle.

You can try this same Bing search trick for other topics such as \u201choliday season<\/a>\u201d to find holiday themed gifts and decorations. This also works in many countries and regions around the globe. Try using these search terms in your geography: 
\u2022    US, UK, Canada, Australia, Ireland, India: search for gift guide<\/a> or holiday shopping<\/a>
\u2022    Germany: search for Geschenke-Guide<\/a> or Weihnachten<\/a>
\u2022    France: search for guide des cadeaux<\/a>  or no\u00ebl<\/a> 
\u2022    Italy: search for guida ai regali <\/a>or shopping natalizio<\/a>
\u2022    Spain: search for ideas de regalo<\/a> or compras de navidad<\/a> <\/p>\n

And Bing can save you time by enabling users to explore the catalog before jumping over to the merchant’s website. We\u2019ve also added hot spots within the flyers themselves which will take you directly to the merchant to make a purchase!

Last but not least, Bing can help save you money by making it easy to find and use online coupons. Bing provides coupon information neatly nested within your search results, without the need to install a browser extension or plugin (third-party cookies must be enabled.) Being visible within the search results is a great reminder for those of us that sometimes forget. And for those who never forget, no more scrambling to find a coupon when you are ready to check out!

The holiday season is a busy time for everyone. Rather than taking the time to visit individual online retailers, shoppers can find inspiration, in one place, with Microsoft Bing<\/a>. Bing\u2019s built-in search features not only help you save time and money, they will also help you find the gift that you didn\u2019t know you were looking for! <\/p>\n
