It can be the worst feeling when you buy gifts for your loved ones and they wind up being stolen or broken. Here are a few tips to prevent this:
1-If you buy something online, be sure to have it delivered when someone is home so it doesn’t linger on your porch for too long.
2-Don’t leave any shopping bags visible in your car–bury them in your trunk where potential thieves can’t see them.
3-Don’t mention any big purchases on social media or show pictures of any big ticket items there so potential thieves can’t target you.
4-Don’t keep your fragile gifts within reach of children–they like to shake their presents a little too much!
