I work in Primark & did my Christmas shop there in 10 minutes – here’s the last-minute gifts to grab
TIME is ticking down for those who still haven’t sorted their Christmas presents – and with delivery cut-offs soon approaching, the shops are about to get a whole lot busier.
But one Primark worker has demonstrated jaw-droppingly efficient levels of gift hunting, completing her Christmas shopping in just ten minutes.
And visiting just one shop – you guessed it, Primark.
TikTok user @hevnotheather2015 works at the Bluewater branch of Primark and has become popular for her behind-the-scenes videos.
Hev’s worked at Primark since 2019 and she says she plans to work there until she retires.
And that experience has certainly helped with her Christmas shopping – taking her just ten minutes to complete!
In the video, Hev starts by looking at some velvet plush leggings, saying: “Don’t you think they’d make nice little presents? I do.”
The leggings shown came in a white Hello Kitty print, a pink Hello Kitty print and a mocha colour.
Hev then walks over to the pyjamas, showing the viewers a pair of £8 Long Sleeve Slogan Pyjamas with the phrase ‘brunch club’ written across the chest and saying: “I like those as well for presents – ‘brunch club’ – I really like them.”
She also points out the £8 fuchsia Long Sleeve Patterned Pyjama set, and says: “I’m going to get them.”
Another pyjama set Hev puts in her basket is the Jersey Graphic Short Sleeve Pyjama Set, which costs £7.
Searching for a gift for her pregnant friend, Hev walks into the maternity section, showing viewers a selection of adorable designs.
She picks out a Maternity Sleep T-Shirt with ‘Mummy’s Little Love’ on, which costs just £7.
With her pyjamas sorted, Hev walks through the store, telling viewers: “If you buy pyjamas, it’s a rule that you need to buy slipper socks.”
Hev chooses a £3.50 pack of red and cherry print Fluffy Socks, before replacing them with a cheaper £2 pack of pink and white Patterned Cosy Socks.
She looks at her haul and says to viewers: “Right, so that’s some of my Christmas present shopping done, loving life.
“I do it very quick.”
Commenters were quick to heap on praise for the gifts, with one writing: “Omg I love the fluffy leggings, I have them in 4 colours.”
Another viewer replied: “Me too!”
Further down the comment thread, someone wrote: “The Hello Kitty leggings are so pretty.”
And a fan of the haul video said: “I love these type of videos.”
