Christmas Rush Tips
As far as I remember, I’ve joined the wagon of Christmas Rush shoppers 3 years ago and that was it. I’ve learned my lessons very well and I don’t want to join them again.
I don’t want any migraine on Christmas Eve. So, I’ve prepared some tips that I know that might help you out if you’re in a rush:
- Make a shopping list
- Categorize the items to which section and department they belong to save time and effort.
- If you’re on a budget, do make some early window shopping before making a list, if possible.
- Make at least 3 gifts options for each person.
- Consider wholesale items with assorted designs and colors.
- Never go shopping with your stomach empty. Chances are, you’ll spend time on eating instead of shopping.
- Wear your most comfortable clothes and shoes.
- As much as possible, don’t bring along small children on your shopping. Scheduled them on another date.
- Be attentive on your personal belongings especially your wallet.
- Inspect the item carefully for quality and factory defects.
- If you’re not sure of the size of the person you’re giving the gift, ask him/her. That depends on how you will asked him/her if its a surprise gift.
- Avail of the free gift wrapping services of the shopping malls.
- If the gift is electronic, don’t forget to have it tested.
- Never lose your official receipts.
- Shop as early as the shopping mall opens. Get advantage of less people, organized shopping racks and accomodating sales agents.
- Ask for an extra bag for all bought items.
- Count your bought items.
