Make a list, check it twice: What to bring on your Christmas shopping day

Have you shopped for Christmas gifts for your loved ones?

There are only a few days left until the most wonderful time of the year. If you’re just about to look for presents for your nearest and dearest due to year-end work, it’s good to be prepared for your shopping day as the holiday rush is now being felt in different parts of the metro. Aside from the hassle of traffic, you would also have to deal with large crowds as you try to keep yourself safe from COVID-19. 

Need some help with what to bring for an efficient, less stressful holiday spree? Here are some essentials you should have in your bag on your Christmas shopping day.

Christmas list. Finding the perfect gifts for your nearest and dearest is no easy feat. Aside from crafting a list of names you’ll be surprising with presents for the holidays, you might also want to include their favorite colors and items on the side to make shopping in different areas a breeze. 

Wallet. While going cashless is much more convenient than the others, it’s still a good idea to have some cash ready in case you have small purchases or your chosen store experiences technical issues of some sort for card and online payments.

Loyalty cards and discount vouchers. It’s always nice to save as much moolah as you can on your shopping day. If you have loyalty cards, gift certificates, and discount vouchers, make it a point to bring them for some delightful perks like rewards, cashbacks, and better prices.

Vaccination card. Some establishments still ask their customers to present their vaccination cards upon entry in an effort to keep mall-goers safe from COVID-19. Be ready with your vaxx card so you can get into your desired stores with no hitches. 

Alcohol. Last but not the least, don’t forget to sanitize with hand alcohol throughout your shopping schedule to lessen your worries of getting infected with the virus. You can count on Biogenic Alcohol, which is one of the trusted brands when it comes to keeping yourself clean and sanitized as you go about your day.
