Tips on How to Avoid the Holiday Rush Stress

The holiday season is a joyful time, but it can also be filled with stress, especially when thinking of gift ideas for your loved ones and doing your holiday shopping. The pressure to find the perfect gifts, navigate crowded stores, and manage your budget can turn the season into a headache.

With some planning, you can enjoy a stress-free holiday shopping experience, discover exciting gift ideas, and even consider convenient payment options to make the most of your budget. These five Wais Tips shared by Home Credit, the country’s leading consumer finance company, can help you breeze through the process of buying presents and avoid the hassle of the holiday rush!

Make a list.

Santa is not the only one who benefits from making a list! Create a detailed shopping list that includes the names of the people you want to give gifts to, your gift ideas for each of them, and the shops where you can find those items. Having a list will keep you organized, help you stay on track, and reduce the likelihood of forgetting anyone or anything.

Set a budget.

Before you start shopping, establish a clear and realistic budget for your holiday spending. Check your list and allocate a specific amount for each person. Sticking to your budget will help you avoid overspending and refrain from experiencing financial strain during the holiday season.

Start early.

The early bird gets the stress-free shopping experience! Don't wait until the last minute to start your holiday gift shopping, and purchase gifts well in advance of the holidays. Starting early allows you to take advantage of sales and discounts, avoid the holiday rush, and ensures that you have plenty of time to find the perfect gifts without feeling rushed or pressured.

Explore installment deals.

One of the best-kept secrets of hassle-free holiday shopping is taking advantage of installment deals. Home Credit is your go-to destination for this. They offer an extensive range of 0% interest rate installment deals on a variety of products.

Home Credit also makes it easier for you to check amazing holiday sales through its official website or My Home Credit App. You can also check Shoppingmall.ph, an online shopping platform for all authentic smartphones, laptops, gadgets, and home appliances. This platform helps you find the best deals in stores near you, making it much easier to apply for zero-percent interest rate installment plans and get pre-approved in minutes. You can also chat with a live Sales Agent for more information.

By choosing installment plans, you can spread the cost of your purchases over manageable periods, keeping your finances in check during the holiday season.

Home Credit also has your back beyond gift shopping. If unexpected bills or the need for extra holiday funds arise, Home Credit offers Qwarta and Cash Loan* to help you navigate the financial challenges seamlessly. With these alternative payment options, you can enjoy the holiday season while having the financial freedom to purchase what you need and experience what you want at your own pace.

"CLiQQ to 7-Eleven" Color Fun Run is happening on November 12, 2023 at the New Clark City, Tarlac

70 days until the end of 2023! How are you so far with your fitness goals? 

Are you a little behind and needing to catch up? 

Are you on the right track and simply looking for another challenge? 

Or are you simply someone looking for something fun and exciting with your friends and family? 

---------- 

We are thrilled to announce that CLiQQ will be holding its 1st Fun Run entitled "CLiQQ to 7-Eleven"  at the world-class sports complex, New Clark City, Capas, Tarlac. 

If you are not familiar, CLIQQ is 7-Eleven's loyalty program (formerly Every Day! Rewards) where you earn points every time you buy at 7-Eleven. All you need to do is show your loyalty barcode found on your CLIQQ app. I have been using the CLiQQ App since 2018 and it has a lot of perks and special promotions. There was even a time that they offered 1 peso hotdogs and coffee. (Sobrang sulit!) 

By the way, you can get 1 CLiQQ point when you have your CLiQQ barcode scanned every time you buy at 7-Eleven store.

TIP: You can also use the CLiQQ app to convert points to wallet credits, buy load and make payments. 

And now, aside from giving rewards, 7-Eleven is also committed to bringing FITNESS in our digitally connected world since they want HEALTH as the number 1 priority of their loyal customers at 7-Eleven. They plan to do this by bringing fun, excitement and colors. 

Thus, 7-Eleven is inviting you to join the "CLiQQ to 7-Eleven" Color Fun Run on November 12, 2023, Sunday at 5:30 AM. 

Participants can join 3 categories: 2KM, 5KM and 11KM:

We’re glad that they included a 2KM category where kids and non-runners can join too! (If you are wondering, the ideal distance for kids under 9 years old is 2-2.4km) 

This is going to be huge!  In fact, they are expecting 5,000 runners.

Are you ready to be a part of history? 

I know that the pandemic has kept us indoors for long enough, so it’s time to go out, be active, and spread COLORS as we join the upcoming "CLiQQ to 7-Eleven" Color Fun Run.
