Holiday Shopping in the Hudson Valley

A Great Shopping Trip in the Hudson Valley

Planning your perfect holiday shopping trip in the Hudson Valley doesn’t have to be a stress-inducing nightmare; you should be able to look forward to your shopping trips, knowing you’ll be able to spend time with family members shopping for other family members, or simply finding the perfect gift for each special person on your list this year. Whether shopping is something your prefer to do in solitude or in the company of one of your favorite friends, it can and should be a fun experience.

If you happen to be anticipating your holiday shopping in the Hudson Valley area, we’ve compiled a few pieces of advice for making it a truly fun outing, regardless of the size of your list or the budget you’re working with.

Don’t Drive Yourself

Many people will tell you that one of the most stressful things about getting to the shopping center is fighting your way through traffic and making it into a parking spot once you reach the mall. Even then, you’ll likely have to park very far away, which can make dropping off an armload of just-purchased gifts a tiring hassle.

Booking chauffeured car service for your shopping trip is the most sensible (and easy) answer to these issues. Your chauffeur will pick you, do all the navigating and parking, and will be able to drop you off right at the door of your chosen store. When it’s time to drop off gifts or leave, he or she is just a phone call away. You’ll never want to drive yourself to go shopping again.

Have Your Destination Locked Down

The Hudson Valley has plenty of shopping centers to choose from. Knowing which gifts you’ll be needing and where to find them is an important part of finding the right shopping center for your excursion.

Among our favorite shopping centers in the Hudson Valley is the Palisades Center is West Nyack, which features staple clothing stores like Banana Republic, Abercrombie and Fitch, American Eagle, and Victoria’s Secret. They also offer a variety of shoe stores, accessory shops, health and beauty shops and eateries. The stores don’t offer any of the intimidation of the higher end retail destinations, and allow everyone to shop and browse in a casual comfort. Everything you need is one convenient place, and the holiday spirit of the place is a sight to behold.

Another of our favorite shopping outlets in the Hudson Valley is the well-known Woodbury Common Premium Outlets, which offers more of the high-end shops that many holiday shoppers love. With stores like Prada, Versace, Burberry, Armani and Chloe all in the same center, you can get your luxury shopping fill without making more than one shopping trip.

Re-Fuel Right

One thing that many shoppers forget to do is re-fuel while they’re making their way through the shopping centers. Make use of the many eateries in both the Palisades and Woodbury Common eateries and keep your energy levels high. When your chauffeur comes back to pick you up at the end of the day, you’ll be bright-eyed, bushy-tailed and excited about all of your stellar purchases.
