Thanksgiving is right around the corner! We get to sit together as a family around a table filled with delicious food. It may not be smart to have big get togethers as our cases for COVID are rising again, so be sure to keep your guest list short or make sure everyone has quarantined for a couple weeks before coming around. We don’t want any of you to get sick with this COVID, it does not sound very much fun. If you still want to see family but don’t want to have everyone squeezing into one space, think about a drive-by Thanksgiving. My bosses are doing a drive-by Thanksgiving and handing food off to family members, allowing them to go home and enjoy the meal but still able to see family and loved ones. Having guests in the home you have to make sure your home is presentable. Have you thought of any updates you may want? Or what about creating a new room that never existed before in your home? It’s getting colder outside which means homeowners will want to stay inside more. So if you start thinking of an update to your home and need a contractor, we are here for you. We will build your dreams. Give us a call for your remodeling project 425-224-2004.

10 Things You Should Buy Now To Get Through COVID-19 Cabin Fever This Winter
[realtor.com: Lisa Marie Conklin]
With coronavirus cases surging in the United States, it looks like we’ll be sticking close to home this winter. And since chilly temps and snowfall are just around the corner, all things comforting and cozy will have extra appeal – as well as any form of entertainment that will help us cope with cabin fever while staying away from crowds.
And given that many others will be on the same page, you might want to get the jump on stocking up. Here’s what trend watchers say you should buy now before inventory gets low to get you through a gloomy COVID-19 winter.
“Our anticipation is that all winter categories will see the same trend,” he says. “Snowshoeing, cross country skiing, downhill skies, snowboarding and winter camping and hiking will boom as people continue to participate in anything outdoor related.”
And outdoor activities aren’t just for weekends, either. Kids who are still learning from home will need outdoor breaks. Store inventories of backyard ice rink kits, backyard snowboards, skates, sleds and snowman kits may melt away quickly.
Outdoor Clothing
“People want to continue spending time together safely this winter amid the pandemic, and for many people that means staying outside and socially distanced,” says Kimberly Palmer, a personal finance expert at NerdWallet.
One way to stay bundled up without a lot of layers is the trendy wearable sleeping bag. Buy essentials like mittens, gloves, and snow pants now. And with some kids learning from home, frequent “recess” breaks will have parents coveting the convenience of boot dryers and glove dryers.
Exercise Equipment
If you’re hoping to shed some COVID-19 pounds in 2021, order your exercise equipment now.
According to Colleen Logan, vice president of marketing at ICON Health and Fitness, exercise equipment will continue to be in high demand as the flu season converges with COVID-19, and people may be hesitant to sweat it out at the gym. In first place: treadmills. And for your shelter-in-place makeshift gym, compact studio bikes and rowers squeeze in as likely second and third choices.
Humidifiers and Air Purifiers
And air purifiers? Jill Gonzalez, an analyst for WalletHub, predicts they will be in demand once open windows are no loner an option. HEPA filters can capture around 99% of those nasty particles.
That’s why Andrea Woroch, a consumer-savings and shopping expert, predicts light therapy lamps will be a hot item. Soaking up artificial sunshine has been proven to improve a crappy mood, and sitting if front of one while you focus on your breathing is a convenient way to do it.
“Consumers have already shown that they are spending more on home entertainment throughout this pandemic,” says Kylie Ross Sibert, vice president of corporate communications at Retail Alliance.
That includes classic board games, streaming subscriptions, laptops and puzzles. Gamers can’t wait to get their hands on the next-generation Sony PlayStation 5 and XBOX Series X/S consoles.
Ross Sibert says pre orders taken in September sold out of their initial supply, so keep an eye out for the Nov.12 release in the U.S.
Now the inventory is low, especially for 2021 model SUVs, says Daniel Levine, director of the Avant Guide Institutestitue, a global trends and marketing company.
In fact, industry research agency Cox Automotive reports that only 3% of vehicles on dealership lots are 2021 models. That’s a sharp decline compared with last year, when new model vehicles made up 25% of dealership lots.
As winter approaches, Steve King, CEO of the American Pet Products Association, says you may want to stock up on pet-friendly ice melt. (Traditional ice melt can cause skin irritation or ingestion hazards.) And with snow and shipping delays in the forecast, it’s better to snag it now along with other cold weather gear like dog booties, matching holiday jammies, or hats for those instagram-worthy pictures and cards.
Erica Russo, a fashion consultant and lifestyle expert, says comfy clothes from popular brands are sure to sell out quickly. Stash chunky knit cardigans, cashmere lounge sets, and comfy slippers into your cart before the size and colors you want vanish.
There’s no shortage of traditional face masks now, but Russo says she’s noticed an uptick in silk face masks. She says their popularity is due to their breathability, and they could help minimize “maskne.”
She also recommends searching your local store inventory online with retail giants such as Target and Walmart.
WalletHub’s Gonzalez adds that you should keep your eye out for smaller “flash” sales, too. And don’t forget about independently owned shops in your town. they could use your support, and you just might get something even better and unique.
