Your house may already be full of Christmas decorations, but maybe you could use some extra baubles, wreaths or tableware. There is plenty to find in the Zoetermeer shops for your last-minute purchases. From the sing-along to the stress-free: you will certainly encounter these types during Christmas shopping.

The walking Christmas tree

The walking Christmas tree is easy to spot in the shopping streets of Zoetermeer. A (wrong) Christmas sweater, Santa hat and socks with reindeer on them. A phone case with a print of candy canes and maybe even Christmas baubles as earrings: nothing is too crazy for this holiday fan. Looking at this walking Christmas tree will really put you in the mood.

The sing-along

All I want for Christmas is yoooooouuuuuuuuuu! The sing-along knows every Christmas album from cover to cover and likes to sing along to the hits of Mariah Carey, Ariana Grande and Michael Bublé. Not only in the car or in the shower, but also in shops and shopping centers. Hopefully the sing-alongs in Zoetermeer have golden throats.

The generous giver

You can recognize this shopper by the twenty bags filled with all kinds of gifts. Wellness products for mother, a puzzle for a niece, a cookbook for an uncle and craft supplies and toys for the children. The generous giver likes to open his wallet and spares no expense.

The ‘I cook for the whole family’ customer

Mainly found in the supermarket or delicatessen with a lengthy shopping list. The ‘I cook for the whole family’ customer spends all day in the kitchen and requires a lot of ingredients to be purchased. From soups, shrimp cocktails and carpaccio to roulades, turkey and options for guests who eat vegetarian. Not to mention the delicious desserts this chef serves.

The stress chicken

It is chaos in the head of the stress chicken. Thoughts fly back and forth. “Damn, I still have to find a present for Pietje and I’m out of napkins. The peak of the Christmas tree is broken, so a new one needs to be built. Do I need extra wrapping paper and have we actually bought enough Christmas wreaths?” This shopper tries to connect the dots and crosses the i’s and heads into the store for some much-needed last-minute Christmas purchases. Good luck, stress chicken!
