11 Lebanese Online Shopping Websites To Help You Do Your Christmas Shopping

With Christmas only few days away, and knowing how jammed the roads and mall tend to get over this week, I personally avoid to do any shopping during this period. So if you also hate spending several hours on a trip to the mall to get a single item, here are 11 of my favorite online shopping websites in Lebanon who are known for their consistent service and can definitely save you time and effort if you have been postponing your holiday shopping.

JouéClub

Several big toy stores have recently launched in Beirut but Joue Club remains my favorite. Their website has all their popular brands an they offer free delivery for orders above 150,000L.L.

Antaki Group

Antaki is a distributor for several high end brands like DJI, Parrot, Polaroid, Dyson, Yamaha, Bose and many others. They have a lot of interesting and cool gadgets to choose from.

Exotica

I know there are many flower delivery websites in Lebanon, but when it’s Christmas you better not take risk and simply go with the best in the field.

Codeone

This website is specialized in home and giftware items. Their collection is always carefully selected

HiCart

This website has a wide variety of products from electronics to mobiles, home appliances, toys, beauty stuff, and even books.

209 Lebanese Wine

This website offers wines from over 45 Lebanese wineries and delivers them straight to your door, hassle-free. What I love about the website is that it makes your choice easier by telling you what kind of food goes best with each bottle. They offer free delivery for orders over $70.

Feel22

This is your go to website for everything makeup and perfume! They have a lot of brands and cater mainly to women but also have a dedicated section for men’s products.

Sarah’s Bag

Sarah’s Bag is a Lebanese fashion house that creates luxury hand-crafted bags and accessories with original designs that I think would be pretty cool as a Christmas gift.

GS

All the brands you love from GS online! They offer free express delivery for orders above $66.

Como Store

Como is a multi brand concept clothing store. I know from my friends that they have a good customer service and they offer free delivery.

Librairie Antoine Online

For some, a book is always a good idea as a gift, and we all know Antoine is the leading bookstore in Lebanon.

Giveaway Day 3 – Surprise Gift from JouéClub

I know a lot of the blog readers are married with children (my circle of friends at least!), that’s why I decided to reach out to JouéClub and was so glad to have them participating in the giveaway series. Settling on the gift/toy to offer however wasn’t an easy task for us since they vary so much from one age to another, so we decided to leave it till after I do the draw, and the awesome staff at JouéClub will then pick a suitable gift depending on the age of the winner’s kid.

JouéClub of course needs no introduction as it is the go to place for everything toys related and is with no doubt the dream store for every kid! What some people probably don’t know though is that they also have many toys and gadgets for adults as well. In addition to the popular Parrot drones for example, you can also find some cool board games such as the Game of Thrones edition of Risk and Monopoly. So basically it has something for almost anyone!

To qualify for the draw, go to +961’s page on Facebook, like the giveaway post and tag your friends in a comment. One winners will be randomly chosen and announced tomorrow morning, and I will make sure to coordinate with JouéClub in order to choose the right toy depending on his/her kid’s age.

Yamammy.com

My wife and I recently had a gorgeous baby, and if there’s anything I really agree on with Darine Sabbagh, the founder of  a new website called “Ya Mammy“, it is that your house will quickly be filled with baby gear that were sometimes used for a month or less and you no longer need.

And that’s what Ya Mammy is trying to solve by serving as a parent to parent network for exchanging baby gear and toys and getting great bargain deals.

I’m sure it will be of good use for you whether you’re already a parent with some items you no longer need, or even a parent to be and looking for some good deals. So make sure to keep on checking the website or the Facebook page as it will be launching soon.

Another vibrator ad from the 1960s

Looks like these “massaging devices” were quite popular back in the 60s! You can check another ad I posted last year here.

Even though selling sex toys is considered illegal in Lebanon, I always spot some vibrators on display at some pharmacies like Mazen in Cornishe El Mazraa.

I guess legalizing these toys will definitely ease the tension between the sexually frustrated fighting militias nowadays!
