Simplify Back to School Shopping and Keep Your Kids Looking Their Best for the School Year Ahead

Dubai Festival City– A One Stop Shop for Your Favourite Back to School Essentials

Dubai, UAE, August 31, 2016:  With the summer holidays now at an end, the back-to-school season is not without its share of stress for busy families. If the shopping itself is a mission in your household, Dubai Festival City is the perfect one stop shop to ease the back-to-school burden on your family. Customers can expect some exciting promotions across retail stores, stocking everything a student, parent or teacher needs to prepare for the school year. 

Here are our Top 5 tips for those who want to simplify shopping for the school year ahead:

1. Make note of your current inventory – Before heading to the mall make sure to keep track of what supplies your child already has, so you aren’t buying multiples. This will save you money as well as hours searching for items around the mall. 
2. Prepare a list & categorize – Put everything you need on the list and place it into categories i.e. clothes, shoes, stationery, backpacks. This way you can keep your budget in check and also identify the exact stores in the mall that you need to visit to get the supplies. 
3. Stress less & make it a fun shopping experience - Involve your kids in the shopping process and turn it into a fun experience for everyone to enjoy. Ask what your kids want and what colours they like, it will not only stimulate their creativity but make the selection process faster for you.
4. Quality is key – While it’s tempting to go for the cheaper options when bearing such a long shopping list, sometimes quality purchases save you money in the long run and you won’t need to stock up on supplies mid-school year. 
5. Choosing a One stop shop - With such a great variety on kid’s stores, Dubai Festival City is our favourite shopping destination this season for fashion and supplies. It features a wide collection of kids and teens fashion brands, as well as other school essential stores such as books, electronics, shoe outlets, handbags and accessories.
