Beat the rush by shopping early for Eid

The holy month of Ramadan has just started, and before long, Eid will be celebrated. The biggest religious festival for Muslim Ummah is an auspicious day and a day of sharing happiness with loved ones. Eid offers us the time to spend with family and friends, but it is also when the shopping spree is at its peak.
Eid may be a month away, but the market and shopping complexes are already heated up with customers trying dresses and just taking a sneak peek. It is only about time when the crowd hits the corridors of almost every market and shopping complex in time. So, this may be the perfect time for buyers to hit the stores.
The traffic on the roads, the congestion, and the unpredictability of Dhaka roads have already made life miserable for Dhakaites. With a warmer-than-ever Spring, the heat drains energy every day, and the roads are, in fact, never without at least a few million every day. This number will only go up later in Ramadan, when everyone will rush to the stores to shop.
Beat the crowd
Shopping in a bustling crowd can be overwhelming. The cacophony of voices, the endless queues at the cashier, and the elbow-to-elbow manoeuvring can turn even the most patient shopper into an irritated mess. But when one shops early for Eid, they somehow savour the luxury of a calmer shopping experience. The earlier Ramadan days are best in that matter.
Choose from the fresh collection
One of the biggest perks of being an early bird in Eid shopping is picking off the best, as chances of getting first dibs on the latest styles, trends, and designs amplify. Whether the hunt is for a traditional kurta or a trendy abaya, the latest Nayra or Alia Cut, or a fresh catalogue of designer brands, one may find that the shelves are fully stocked and ripe for picking. Plus, shoppers definitely won't have to settle for leftovers or compromise on their preferred size or colour-it's like having a personal shopper cater to their every whim.
Discounts and offers
Many stores offer early-bird discounts and special promotions to entice shoppers to start their Eid shopping ahead of the curve. From slashed prices to buy-one-get-one-free deals, the savings are simply too good to resist. Also, many shops give large sales percentages on their last season's catalogues and shoppables.
Guide to buying from the best ones
Although every buyer has their own preferences in shopping, from styles to malls, some brands and malls have huge varieties for buyers to choose from. Suppose someone is on a high-end budget season; Pink City, Bashundhara City Shopping Mall, and Jamuna Future Park can be their go-to. Jamuna Future Park has many options, from Zara to Splash, Aarong to Yellow, Sailor, Ecstasy, Infinity Mega Mall, Richman Lubnan, and extensions of the Gulshan DCC corners. The market also comprises shoe brands, electronics, and gadget shops, and for Iftar, there is a huge food court. But the fun thing is, there are so many brand shops here, there are always discounts and sale offers going on - making it in reach for buyers of middle income as well.
Pink City and other shops in Gulshan and Banani are for the elite to shop from. Some brands take orders months before Eid and custom-made Eid costumes. You can get Zardousi, Karchupi, embroidery, or just the latest Indian and Pakistani brand dresses exclusive to high-end buyers.
For buyers of any budget, there are Bashundhara City Shopping Complex, Rapa Plaza, Eastern Mollika, Eastern Plaza, Rajuk Trade Centre, Rajlokkhi Shopping Complex, New Market, Chandni Chowk, Islampur Market (for material), Terry Bazar (Chittagong) - are the best options to explore.
Skipping the last-minute stress
A certain peace of mind comes with getting Eid shopping done early. No more frantic last-minute rushes to the mall, no more pondering over whether your favourite store will still have your size in stock-it'll all be taken care of well in advance. Also, no sadness of choosing from the last pieces of stock or 'leftover' designs.
The joy of gifting
Eid is a time for generosity and giving, and what better way to spread the joy than by starting shopping for family early? By getting a head start on the Eid shopping, there will be ample time to handpick thoughtful gifts for friends and family, ensuring that each present is perfectly tailored.
