Oh, Shop It: Holiday Shopping Made Easy Thanks to Local Mall

We all love shopping, right? Walking around the mall, searching for the perfect top to go with that skirt you've been dying to wear, or maybe it's getting the right gift for that special some one in your life. Either way, it's something nice to do, but shopping during the holidays is everything but nice. The parking, the lines, the shuffling around people texting while walking -- it's too much. Luckily, Somerset is taking that pain away, and making holiday shopping a little more efficient.

Somerset is offering roadside pick up from now until Saturday, December 19. It's like online shopping, but quicker and without all of those delivery fees. All you have to do is call up one of your favorite (well, let's be honest, all of your favorite) stores at the Somerset Collection, place an order of exactly what you want to purchase, drive over to the level 1 deck valet on the north side of the mall, and voila! You have all of your holiday shopping done, and you didn't even have to leave your car.

For more information, call 248.816.3110. Somerset is located at 2800 W Big Beaver Rd., in Troy.
