When you sit down to create your holiday list, you might want to add a few specific items to your list. During the holiday shopping season shopping centers become crowded and bustling with activity. And a trip to the store for a last-minute item can easily turn into hours or cause a headache.

So what are the extra items that need to be on your list?

Wrapping paper and supplies: Be sure to check your supplies stash for tape, ribbons, bows, scissors and gift tags early on as you’re creating your shopping list. Shipping materials: Before you go shopping, add any necessary packing and shipping materials. Or plan to shop online, and have the gifts delivered directly to their final destination.

Gift receipts: Make a little note at the top of your list as a reminder to ask the sales cashier for gift receipts. When you include a gift receipt with a present, the receiver will be able to make an product exchange at the store with less hassle.

Batteries: Consider adding rechargeable batteries and a charging station to any battery-operated gifts.
