Monika’s Haul At The Outlet Shoppes At El Paso

As with everything in 2020, holiday shopping, too, has radically changed in the age of COVID-19, prompting retailers to step up to provide a secure shopping experience for their customers. 

One of the benefits of shopping at The Outlet Shoppes at El Paso is the outdoor factor along with its multiple safety measures providing hand sanitizing stations, disinfecting, requiring face masks, and limiting in-store capacity. 

The mall is open for business, holiday decorations, and all, and stores are offering a multitude of savings and deals that are too hard to pass up. It never fails that I end up with something for myself too! 

I have a two-year-old niece who loves all things Winnie the Pooh, so my first stop on my haul was the Disney Store, where I found some major scores like $10 plush Disney characters. 

Located right across the Disney Store is the all-new El Paso Selfie Park, basically a flat that features various photo backdrops that are truly Instagram worthy. More on this later, because this place was pretty awesome! 

After the El Paso Selfie Park, I bounced over to the Coach store for a couple of gifts and found out that practically the whole store is 70% off. 

Bath & Body Works also lured me in with their $8 single wick candles and festive décor, while Fino’s Rainforest Pet Exotics had me mesmerized. Too bad I had no one to gift an emerald-tree boa constrictor this Christmas! 

After all that shopping, I had to stop at Aunt Annie’s Pretzels for a fresh-baked soft pretzel because, you know, carbs are life. 

A couple of hours later, I had made a pretty good dent on my holiday list and decided to call it a day. 

Overall, my whole shopping experience was pretty stellar, especially because this was an outdoor mall. I felt safe at all times, and the employees truly went above and beyond to accommodate their patrons. Whether naughty or nice, The Outlet Shoppes at El Paso has something to offer for everyone on your gift-giving list!
