It won’t be till later next year (yes, late 2021), but there are plans to start an online store where we can shop for crazy finds. I definitely missed my trips to the store during quarantine, and I’ve been there three times since it ended. Got some flower pots, throw pillows, random wall art of animals wearing glasses, caramel corn, three step stools–you know, the basics. I actually really needed the step stools and waited until HomeGoods opened to go buy them, knowing they carried the ones I liked at a good price. Oh lol, now I sound like an advertisement. But you know what? Even though my initial reaction to this news is delight and excitement, I fear that the HomeGoods experience can never really be replicated by online shopping.
You can’t laugh hysterically while holding a wooden white whale (I am NOT JOKING) and trying out an inflatable outdoor chair, only to slip off and find yourself then laughing hysterically on the floor with your white whale. There’s a picture somewhere in the cloud, and I’m going to find it and show y’all!
What do you think? Do you love the store like I do? Are you excited at the prospect of online shopping at HomeGoods?
