Stocking Stuffer Gift Ideas, Curbside Pick up at The Marketplace At Factoria

Gift Ideas For Everyone on your list, Stocking Stuffers under $25

Back in March when this pandemic started, most of the world thought it would only last a short time. Here we are 9 months later, preparing for the holidays amid a situation that seems to worsen daily. But that doesn’t mean we can’t all still enjoy the holidays in a safe way, and if nothing else, 2020 has been a great reminder to enjoy and be grateful for our loved ones and all we have. 

With the holidays just around the corner, we have some great holiday shopping options in our very neighborhood. The Marketplace at Factoria is one of those great options!

Conveniently located in Bellevue at the corner of Factoria Blvd SE and I-90, The Marketplace at Factoria has a wide range of stores to meet all of your shopping needs. The mall is home to department stores including Nordstrom Rack, budget-friendly options including Walmart and Target, a large full-service food court with a variety of cuisines to choose from, and specialty stores including a seamstress and art store. 

With that, it’s safe to say The Marketplace at Factoria should be a stop on your holiday shopping trip to find some great gifts for your loved ones.

But with the pandemic, the big question is —

How do we stay safe when shopping this holiday season? And, how do we keep others safe while we shop? 

To keep yourself and others safe when holiday shopping, be sure you:

• Have your mask on you at all times and wear it properly over both your nose and mouth
• Frequently wash and/or sanitize your hands 
• Keep a distance of 6 feet between yourself and others 

Another cool way to stay safe and secure during the holiday shopping season is to shop from stores that offer curbside pickup. No contact is always the safest option to protect you and those around you from COVID. For those that haven’t used curbside, it’s ahhhmazing and saves sooooo much time and money, too. 

1. Place your order online. 
2. Arrive in the designated pickup area at your scheduled time
3. Call the store to let them know you’ve arrived 
4. Have your items brought right to your vehicle
5. Head on your merry way!

What curbside pick up looked like at different stores – instructions are simple to follow and makes gift shopping stress-free and easy at the moment. 

Pretty simple hey? 

I have to say that I really admire many businesses’ flexibility and drive to adapt during these uncertain times. Businesses that never would have opted for curbside made the transition quickly and smoothly which don’t typically go hand in hand. We even have quite a few options right here near home to utilize this beneficial service. The Marketplace at Factoria has some fantastic options that have opted to offer curbside pickup making your holiday shopping easier than ever!

Target (where are my Target lovers at?!), Ulta, Old Navy, and DSW – these stores at The Marketplace at Factoria offer convenient and fast curbside pickup options. The best part is, each of these stores have such a great variety of options to choose from, so you should be able to tick off items on your list quickly and efficiently!

The stocking gifts are some of the most fun to give and receive. I always find it interesting to see what little gadgets and trinkets people give and receive and take note for future reference.

Stockings are the perfect reminder that gifts don’t have to be overpriced or out of your budget to be meaningful and appreciated. 

With such a wide range of stores and gift options to choose from, there really is something for everyone at The Marketplace at Factoria, and choosing curbside pickup is going to be your safest bet when holiday shopping this year!
