It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas everywhere you go.

That is, of course, the title of a popular Christmas carol. But it’s also reality at this time of the year, as shoppers search for the perfect present.

So what’s trending this year? Electronics, from televisions to Smartphones to cameras, are always popular.

Richmond-based London Drugs has a wide selection of electronics. Among televisions, the trend is strongest toward the 70-inch and larger screens. These also feature higher quality such as OLED, QLED and Nanocell panels. This is logical, as larger panels magnify all content and therefore magnify the imperfections of cheaper, entry-level panels.

Among the most popular brands are, in no particular order, Sony, Samsung and LG.

Prices ranges from $1,500 to $5,000 and more, depending on size and panel technology.

London Drugs also offers the new iPhone 11 from Apple featuring a newly-redesigned camera system. Camera systems on Smartphones remain a large part of their appeal, with the iPhone 11’s dual camera system and iPhone 11 Pro sporting a triple camera system.

London Drugs also has a big selection of popular mirrorless cameras from established brands such as Sony, Canon, Nikon, Fujifilm and more. These cameras, smaller than their DSLR relatives, are popular with photography enthusiasts, bloggers, storytellers, travelers and memory keepers.

A popular Canadian retailer since 1945, London Drugs is also introducing same-day delivery service in Metro Vancouver.

“We are making it quicker and easier for our customers to get what they need from the local stores they trust,” says London Drugs president and chief operating officer Clint Mahlman.

Without any membership fee, customers who place orders before 2 p.m. can receive their delivery the same day, Monday to Friday, often within a few hours of when the order is placed. Online orders will be fulfilled by London Drugs store locations within 10 kilometres of the delivery address.

“Same-day delivery has become an expectation from our customers and we have been able to quickly and efficiently respond to this need in part because we already have so many fulfillment centres across Western Canada; our stores,” says Mahlman.
