THE LIST: What You Might Have Forgotten To Get

It's almost 4pm and I thought I'd try to whip up a list for you last-minute folks (like me) who may have forgotten to hit up the local department/grocery stores before they close for tomorrow:
  • Toilet Paper (and of course if you have guests - you probably get the nicer, softer stuff - right?)
  • Paper Towel
  • Garbage Bags, biodegradable compost bags or recyclables bags
  • Bread
  • Butter
  • Sugar
  • Eggs
  • Aluminum foil and baking paper/parchment paper
  • Wax paper
  • Egg nog
  • Apple cider
  • Liquor, wine, beer etc.
  • Flour, baking soda or powder, yeast
  • Honey
  • Tea/Coffee/milk/juice
  • Cough Drops
  • Chewing gum/mints
  • Coffee filters
  • Pads/Tampons
  • Diapers and baby wipes
  • Band-aids
  • Pain relievers (nothing worse than a headache with the guests about to arrive in five minutes!) 
  • Prescriptions
  • Contacts/Contact cleansing liquid
  • Laundry Soap
  • Cleaning product for the household
  • Dish Soap or tabs for the dishwasher
  • Rubber gloves
  • Sponges for cleaning

    • Packaging for home-made gifts
    • Tape
    • Wrapping paper
    • Ribbon
    • Name Tags 
    • Cards
  • Air freshners
  • Poop bags for dogs
  • Gift for the pets
  • Cat Litter
  • Batteries
  • Flashlight or candles (as the power often goes out when you don't expect it to...)
  • Light bulbs
  • Fuse (because they always burn out - like light bulbs - when shops are closed)
Hope this helps and yes, I also went to the store today!
Happy Holidays!BIMU

  1. Useful! And yes, I've been to the shop for a few of those, and also: cough drops and chewing gum, because the dreaded icky-throat thing strikes whenever you really don't want it to.

    Have a very good Yule, Merry Christmas and everything!
