The kids have written their letters to Santa, the tree is nearly decorated, and it’s Toy Show week, so we’re officially in the Christmas spirit.
Christmas will be here before we know it, so we need to get our Christmas shopping over and done with before town becomes too hectic.
We’re not quite ready to enter the madness that is Smyths at Christmas time, but it has to be done.
Smyths has warned parents to be extra careful when shopping this Christmas because of their shopping bags.
The Smyths bags are pretty clear, and kids will be able to see through the bags if they’re left around the house.
The last thing we want to do is ruin the magic of Christmas and have the kids find their gifts before the big day.
They told their customers: “Please note your Click & Collect items will be in clear packaging with contents visible.”
Parents praised the retailer for being so considerate and for thinking ahead.
In preparation for the Christmas season, Smyths has confirmed it will be extending its opening hours. The store will now be open until 10 pm on weekdays, which makes our lives that little bit easier.
