How to beat the Christmas rush

You might be thinking, “Surely it’s way too early to be worrying about Christmas presents” – don’t be fooled! The tinsel and baubles are already making their way into the department stores and before you know it, you’ll find yourself in aisle 6 with the rest of the nation hoping to snatch the last board game on the shelf.

Christmas is a wonderful yet crazy time of year, and to truly enjoy it you should start getting organised. Especially when it comes to gift-buying.

You might think you know what your kids, family members and close friends might want for Christmas and yet most of us find ourselves panicked as the 25th creeps closer.

Here are our top tips for beating the Christmas rush.

Pace yourself

Don’t leave all your purchases for the week or two before Christmas. Make yourself a list (like Santa) and keep track of who you’re buying for. It’ll prevent you from accidentally leaving someone out or miscalculating the boxes of chocolate!

Start ticking off the gifts and make purchases slowly while you find yourself in a shopping centre over the next few weeks. It’ll also aid the amount of splurges and costly expenses that are seemingly inevitable in the short period before Christmas.

Collect catalogues

Catalogues are the paper version of Pinterest. You see something, you can circle it and add it to the “buy” list. Without putting too much thought into it, you can generally get a good gift idea by simply flipping through the pages.

So start collecting! Grab a catalogue as you walk out of a store and add it to a dedicated pile at home. Allocate some time to sort through it with a texter, highlighter or post-it notes on hand (sounds OTT but it’ll help, promise!).

Flip to a section that you know would be of interest to the person you’re buying for and the world is your oyster. This is particularly useful if you do not have the same interests as that person.

When you’re done, you’ll know exactly which stores you’re headed to when doing the Christmas shopping and voilà – no stress!

Don’t underestimate catalogues.

Browse and shop online

There’s nothing like sitting on your couch at any hour and having the entire online shopping world at your fingertips. Browsing online is great because you can add to your cart or your wishlist before purchasing.

After you’re satisfied with your selection, all you have to do is make your purchase and then try not to stare out your window for the delivery.

Here’s the most important thing to remember when making online purchases for Christmas: order your presents well before Christmas Day. Even if the estimated shipping is one or two days before Christmas, it’s not worth the risk! Don’t forget that the rest of the world is at their ordering peak at this time of year too, and it is not uncommon for there to be over-orders and delays.

Give yourself the peace of mind in knowing that your purchases will be delivered with plenty of time to spare instead. At Bing Lee, we recommend placing your order 7 days before Christmas at the latest.

Separate gifts and decorations

It can get a little crowded in the house around Christmas, and if you’re planning on putting up all the Christmas garlands and the tree AND buying all your gifts and wrapping them… well, that’s kind of festive mayhem.

Allocate days to get through your elvish tasks so that you’re not tangled up between ropes of Christmas lights and strings of ribbon. Set aside a weekend to prepare the house with the family. Get the kids in on the fun and make it an enjoyable bonding time!

Christmas wrapping is best left for when the Christmas tree is already up so that you can pop the present beneath it right away and they’re ready to go!

Washing loads together but not ‘together together’ with the Haier TwinTasker

Want to save time finishing your laundry but finding your clothes ruined by putting them all in the same load? The TwinTasker washing machine from Haier is here to clean your clothes two washes at a time.

If you’re part of the majority of the nation who dread doing their laundry on the weekend or early in the morning before work, you know how annoying it can be to wait for one load to be done before you’re able to do the next. It’s very much a waiting process.

One load for the whites, the colours, the delicates, the denim… it doesn’t end! And after waiting for each cycle, you’ve realised yet another entire day has been spent taking care of the laundry – whether it’s yours or the whole family’s.

Haier knows how precious time is (especially weekend time) and that you’d rather spend your day in the sunshine at the beach than at the clothesline.

So they came up with a genius idea – what if it was possible to do two loads of washing together… but not together together. In essence, having two separate loads of washing running at the same time in the same machine! Brilliant, right?

Introducing the Haier TwinTasker Washer – the innovative washing machine with two drums. The 4kg drum is perfect for delicates, smaller loads and intricate fabrics. The 8kg load is ideal for your larger loads, colours and denims.

Laundry efficiency

Operating as two separate drums, the TwinTasker lets you pick from the smart LCD touchscreen which cycle, temperature and duration you’d like to set each load to. Then with the touch of your fingertip, away you go! Two cycles (equivalent to a huge 12kg capacity) work simultaneously to have your washing done and dusted.

The beauty of the TwinTasker is that a busy household or a household with flatmates isn’t restricted to a washing timetable. You and your spous, you and your friend, you and your teen can each sort out your laundry while one drum is already occupied. No more excuses for an overflowing laundry basket!

Two drums prevent accidental pink socks, shrunken clothes and lint-coated pants. (We’ve all been there!). Simply set each cycle to cater for the recommended care labels of your clothes – cold water, hot water, intensive wash, extra rinse.

Another convenience of the TwinTasker is being able to take care of your washing properly but with the shortcut of a time-saving process. Same goes for bath towels or tea towels, heavily soiled clothing and other loads that you won’t want to mix into your regular cycle.

The specs

As mentioned before, the TwinTasker has the equivalent of a substantial 12kg capacity with one drum catering for 4kg and the other 8kg. They have energy ratings of 3 Star + 4 Star, and water ratings (WELS) of 4 Star + 4.5 Star – meaning the efficiency will save you money in the long run. Win!

The drums themselves have a unique platinum pillow pattern which is designed to be more gentle on clothes during the cycle and maximises water extraction without pulling on clothing threads.

You can also see how your loads are tracking thanks to LED lighting in each drum. It’ll ensure you don’t leave any pesky socks behind when unloading!

Wondering whether two loads of washing will make your laundry sound like an earthquake? Don’t! Direct Drive Motor technology powers the two independent drums with less moving parts. So the innovative machine works quietly and resourcefully.

It doesn’t stop there – we’ve saved one of the best features for last. Just like your smartphone, the TwinTasker has a seamless look that functions with a touchscreen. The LCD screen lets you swipe through the variety of programmes (including Allergy Care, Sports Wear, Daily Wash and Baby Care) for an easy-to-use experience every time.

5 reasons to update your kitchen with a Samsung French Door Fridge

Looking for an excuse to update your kitchen? Don’t wait around any longer – Get up to $400 CASHBACK on selected Samsung fridges*! Here are five top reasons (among many!) why you’ll love switching to a Samsung French door fridge.

A fridge is one of the most used appliances by everyone in the home – no matter who you are and despite whether or not you cook! Mums, dads, kids and even cheeky pets make their way to the fridge multiple times every single day.

Organising snacks, meats, veggies and dairy products can get a bit messy when several hands are moving around the contents of your fridge. Food spoils quickly when not stored properly or when they are placed beside other foods that require different optimum temperature and conditions.

Considering how much we rely on our fridges, it’s essential to opt for one that is practical, durable and innovative in performance. Thanks to Samsung, there’s an easy way to preserve your groceries with their collection of stunning French door fridges.

There are so many great reasons why an upgrade to a Samsung French door fridge will make your cooking endeavours a dream, but we’re going to break down five of our favourites for you.

Psst… you can get more bang for your buck right now with up to $400 CASHBACK on selected Samsung fridges. Get in quick though; the offer ends 22/11/17.

Double/four doors

This one is quite obvious, but the sheer design of Samsung’s French doors means that you can open up the fridge completely to have everything within your sight. The doors have so much storage capacity, so – whether you’re after your sauces, marinades, drinks or milk – you can pop whatever you need straight out from either your left or right.

More upright storage on the doors prevents spills from bottles and jars on your shelves, resulting in a more hygienic, mess-free interior.

Access is a breeze too with easy-open functions and a gentle pull. Drawers and doors latch securely shut when not in use, so inside stays cooler and no energy is going to waste!

Twin/Triple Cooling technology

What you can’t see in the fridge is arguably one of the most important features – the cooling technology. Samsung’s innovative cooling utilises separate systems in the refrigerator and freezer.

The idea is to optimise the control of temperature independently in each compartment, so food stays fresher for longer.

Individual fans ensure near-commercial grade humidity too so that your perishable foods are kept in peak condition. Plus, it prevents odours mixing between fresh and frozen foods!

LED lighting

Lighting is a feature that is commonly overlooked in a refrigerator, but Samsung doesn’t skimp out on the finer details. That’s why their French door fridges are designed with LED lights.

LED lighting is cooler and more energy efficient than incandescent light so every corner of your fridge will be illuminated effectively and resourcefully.

No longer will the stick of butter be left unseen at the back of the shelf!

Water and ice dispenser

Stay hydrated with access to cold water and ice at your fingertips! At the touch of a screen (or a button, depending on your model), you can control the fridge settings to dispense cold water, ice cubes and crushed ice.

The innovative Ice Master produces ice quickly and leaves more space for taller groceries – win-win!

There’s also easy access to the water filter and a uniquely-tall face on the dispenser so that you can fill up tall glasses or even pitchers for the whole family.

Adjustability

Not every item you buy from the grocery store is the same width or height, needless to say! Shuffling around huge shelves in and out of the fridge can be a major inconvenience and incredibly time-consuming.

With Samsung’s French door fridges, simple tri-fold shelves adjust your storage dimensions in a flash. So whether you’re entertaining and need space for a jug, or have a platter to keep cold before guests arrive, your fridge will take away the stress.

Storage has never been more flexible!

 

There are so many more features to be enjoyed with a Samsung French door fridge (like its luxurious stainless steel looks and recessed handles!). Simply shop online or head in-store to a Bing Lee near you for further information and some expert advice. Get inspired and get cooking!

Why Samsung QLED TVs are picture perfect

With Quantum Dot technology, Samsung has revolutionised the way we watch TV. Here’s why.

If you love watching movies, binge-watching Netflix or simply surfing the internet from the comfort of your couch, you’ll know that the screen you watch will determine how good of an experience you have.

If you’re not particularly a television connoisseur but want simply a great TV, we’re here to break down why you’ll want that great TV to be a Samsung QLED.

What goes on behind the screen

QLED bids its name to the technology behind it – Quantum Dot technology and LED panelling. As you can guess, the highly advanced tech refers to dots – tiny dots that are between 2-10 nanometers in diameter. That’s equivalent to a number of atoms!

Now, when the LED light hits each of these microscopic dots within the screen, they individually light up to produce pure shades of almost every colour visible in the world around us – billions of them.

In addition to this, Quantum Dots also achieve 100% colour volume. The result? Extremely bright and intensely dark colours visible on the screen.

The sheer size of the Quantum Dots that work individually allow for precise detail and, in turn, incredible contrast.

Sceptical about seeing contrast during the day? Precision Black technology automatically adjusts the brightness of the scene you’re watching so that you don’t have to wait till the sun goes down to get that cinema-quality feel! Watch the short clip below to see how it all works.

Entertainment at your fingertips

The High Dynamic Range (HDR) screen of QLED lets you get the most of the latest 4K movies on Blu-ray™ and Netflix. HDR portrays all of the extreme frames so that you don’t have a screen that hides details in dark shadows or whitewashed brightness – meaning you see exactly what the director intended.

All HDR content, including the latest games, is made for incredible user experience – and QLED technology is intended for just that.

Hassle-free control

No longer does your coffee table need to be scattered with a handful of remote controls when the Q One remote can replace them all! With its slim, compact design, you can navigate your way around all the programs and TV features hassle-free.

The all-in-one remote even caters for access to your gaming consoles, Blu-ray™ Players, Pay TV boxes and more. Accessing your entertainment is made incredibly easy and convenient with the Smart Hub, too. Get to your favourite TV channels, connected devices, and streaming services such as Stan and Netflix all from one place.

You can also use your Android smartphone as a handy remote control. Just download the Smart View App and you’ll have a virtual TV remote in your pocket!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HAlQIY88kCM

What goes on outside the screen

Modern design is all about minimalism – less is more. And there’s nothing minimalist about messy wiring and tangled cables!

Queue the Clear Cable Connection. With one single discreet cable, visible wiring is reduced, and you can place your entertainment sources wherever it looks best.

You can even paint over the clear cable to blend your interior style in any room! No longer does stylish design have to be compromised by the technology and entertainment you love.

For real luxury and convenience, you can hang your QLED TV on the wall easily. And you don’t need to worry about having a bulky look on your wall thanks to the No Gap Wall-Mount. Your stunning TV will sit snug on your wall in no time.

Not only is the front of the TV exceptional – on and off – but so is the back with its sleek, modern design. The brushed-metal rear is timeless, so whether you’re hanging your QLED on the wall or sitting it atop a stand, it will look extraordinary.

Why your nursery needs an Arlo Baby monitoring camera

Don’t second guess whether or not your baby monitoring camera (or the one you’re gifting!) is good enough. Here are all the incredible features that Arlo Baby has to offer.

All parents want safety and security for their little bundles of joy. There’s no greater peace of mind knowing that you can check up on your baby anywhere and at any time.

Arlo by Netgear has designed the Arlo Baby range – all-in-one smart monitoring cameras that are packed with features and have the sweetest designs. Here’s why you’ll want one in your nursery.

High definition video & advanced night vision

Gone are the days of squinting at a pixelated screen! Arlo Baby lets you keep an eye on your baby with a crystal clear 1080p High Definition screen. With this HD technology, you’ll be able to see every detail without disturbing their sleep – all parents know how crucial that is!

Speaking of sleep, the near-invisible infrared LED lights let you monitor them even when they’re dreaming in total darkness. No longer do you need to tip-toe into their room and accidentally wake them.

Arlo Baby gives you ultimate vision so that you feel like you’re in the room with them.

Total control using a smartphone or computer

…or a tablet. With the free Arlo app, you can simply click to check in. Not only can you view live, but you’ll also receive an instant email or mobile notification whenever the monitor detects motion or sound – it even lets you know if that sound is specifically a cry.

Integrated air sensors let you monitor the nursery’s air condition, too! Yes, you can keep an eye on the air around your baby. This feature ensures that your baby gets the most comfortable sleep in just the right temperature, humidity and a safe VOCs level (amount of nasty solvents in the air).

If your child has trouble falling asleep, you can talk to them straight from your smartphone, play soothing lullabies or even let them listen to pre-recordings of your own voice! Now that’s convenience at its best 😉

Secure cloud storage & untethered battery

Live videos can make many parents feel rather uncomfortable. That’s why Arlo ensures that their cameras are encrypted with the highest industry standards – privacy and data collection is taken very seriously. Only you can share camera access or specific videos to show friends and family how fast your baby is growing!

You can also move the camera around whenever you please with the built-in rechargeable battery. It gives you the freedom of mobility for hours at a time, untethered.

Adorable design & customisable night light

All the technical features might seem like the gadget is robotic and unwelcoming, especially for a child – but Arlo has taken care of the exterior just as wonderfully as the technology.

Available in three adorable designs, the camera is as reassuring and comforting for babies as it is for parents. Add character to their nursery with a friendly bunny, a bright kitten or a spotty puppy.

You can keep the theme of your nursery by customising the night light as well! Pick from thousands of light colours and adjust the brightness and warmth without even needing to step into their room.

Arlo Baby knows that technology doesn’t have to compromise on design, so it’s easy to prop it on a shelf, above their cot or simply anywhere!
