KUALA LUMPUR, May 6 ― When it comes to festivals, some of us who always promise ourselves to prepare early.
No last minute shopping, we say to ourselves.
And yet, somehow procrastination sometimes gets the better of us and then before you know it, the festival is merely days away.
In times like these, what is really convenient is a one-stop shop like MR.DIY, where one can get almost everything they need – all in wide varieties at an affordable price.
Here’s a potential list of essentials you may want to have on your list for Hari Raya at MR.DIY:
Household decorations
It’s time to spruce up the household with Raya themed decorations to usher in the celebrations with friends and family.
The fastest and most affordable way to give your household a fresh new look is by having decoration items such as sofa and chair covers, tablecloth, table and floor mats as well as glass or wooden vase.
To further elevate your home décor, you may use curtain buckles to match your furniture in the living and dining area.
And of course, don’t forget to stock up face masks, hands sanitisers, face shields and cleaning solutions such as sanitisation products to have a worry-free Hari Raya celebration amid the Covid-19 pandemic.
Glassware and jar
Another way to brighten your home and the dining table is by choosing the right glassware.
Be sure to have a matching glass set, jugs, and of course storage jar for those delicious Raya cookies to have a seamless open house throughout the festive season.
Raya packets, gift bags and gift ideas
Apart from mouth-watering delicacies, Hari Raya is a season of gratitude and forgiveness to strengthen bonds.
Be sure to have enough Raya packets and festive gift bags in hand if you are giving out duit raya or gifts throughout the Hari Raya celebrations.
