Home Essentials for Christmas in Nigeria<\/span><\/h1>\n

Will you be celebrating Christmas in Nigeria or are you thinking of jetting off somewhere all by yourself or with the family?<\/span><\/p>\n

If you are doing the former, then you must have picked a date to go shopping for Christmas especially if you intend to host a few friends, colleagues or members of the family.<\/span><\/p>\n

For those who have already begun shopping for the holiday early, and are still placing orders for several items, it is important to remember that there are some essential things that you should have in the house as you countdown to celebrate Christmas this year.<\/span><\/p>\n

We have decided to make things easier for you by coming up with a list of nine things that you should consider having in the house as you countdown to Christmas.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Generator<\/a><\/p>\n

A functional generator<\/b><\/h2>\n

Nigeria does not have uninterrupted power supply due to intermittent power cuts or extended periods of blackout depending on which part of Nigeria you reside.<\/span><\/p>\n

This explains why a large number of Nigerians have power generating sets at home to fall back on when there are power cuts.<\/span><\/p>\n

Therefore, ensure that you have, not just a generator, but a functional one at home, to have something to rely on whenever there is a power cut.<\/span><\/p>\n

These power cuts happen unannounced, so you must be prepared for such. You can get a used 2.5KVA generator for N30,000. If you prefer a new one, a 2.2KVA generator sells for N65,000 while a 3.5KVA generator currently retails at N80,000.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Christmas<\/a><\/p>\n

Christmas Tree<\/b><\/h2>\n

What is Christmas without a Christmas tree? A Christmas tree makes the house stunning and if you are celebrating Christmas in Nigeria, it is important you get one in the house.<\/span><\/p>\n

Christmas trees and Christmas lights usually come together so ensure you don’t end up with a tree without lights.<\/span><\/p>\n

Depending on your budget, there is a broad range of Christmas trees you can buy. For instance, you can get a Christmas tree of 24 inches for N7,000.<\/span><\/p>\n

If you have a bigger budget then, you could go for a 6ft Pine Xmas Tree + Xmas Lights, which currently sells for N23,000 or an 18ft Christmas Tree With Decor, which currently sells for N90,000.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"First<\/a><\/p>\n

First aid kit<\/b><\/h2>\n

It is critical to have a first aid box in the house especially if you would be spending your Christmas with children.<\/span><\/p>\n

No one wants to have to head to the hospital or the pharmacy for something like a bandage and an antiseptic cream.<\/span><\/p>\n

Therefore, ensure you have a first aid kit in the home this Christmas.<\/span><\/p>\n

A typical first aid kit should include:<\/span><\/p>\n
