Christmas shopping is swinging into high gear with Saturday expected to see large crowds trying to get last minute gifts and food supplies. Along Regent and Robb streets, many families were seen on Monday entering various stores to do their Christmas shopping.
Admittedly, it was a bit of a hassle to comfortably traverse downtown, with everyone wanting to shop for affordable prices, quality coupled with the surplus of vendors offering their wares.
Beepats, one of the more popular and populated stores in Georgetown around Christmas was visited by Stabroek News, where the supervisor of the store stated, “The items that are in high demand are Air Wicks, cookies and detergent. Around this season many people are cleaning around their homes and they want the house to smell nice and fresh when they are finished.” The price range for the Airwick is $900 to $1,600, and the cookies range from $1,000 to $1,900.
