Follow our simple tips when out Christmas shopping and avoid a painful Christmas.
OUT AND ABOUT
Footwear Matters: Podiatrist Paul recommends choosing trainers with laces for a stable base and broad ground contact. This is especially helpful in slippery conditions and when carrying a load of presents.
Balance your bags to distribute the weight evenly between both arms. Alternatively, plan your shopping in smaller, manageable trips rather than tackling one big spree.
Bring a Helper: Shopping with a friend or family member not only shares the load but also makes the experience more festive. Just be prepared to treat them to a coffee and mince pie as a thank you.
Delivery for Bulky Items: For large, heavy, or awkwardly shaped gifts, avoid the “To me! To you!” juggling act and consider having them delivered.
ONLINE
Take regular breaks to avoid spending hours hunched over a laptop while hunting for the perfect gifts.
Mind Your Posture: Whether using a laptop, phone, or tablet, pay attention to your positioning. Keep your screen at eye level, sit upright, and avoid slouching.
