Get Your Shine On

It’s the most wonderful time of the year. It’s December already and by now we’re pretty sure you’ve seen the mall décor adorned with shiny Christmas lights, shiny bells hanging on Christmas trees all to celebrate the festive cheer. The thought of December gets people in the holiday mood. It’s time to relax and take stock of the year.

We all relax in different ways. Some people go shopping, would you believe it?  After all, you’ve worked so hard this year, so why not reward yourself?

You’ve probably been eyeing that cool top, or outfit. If you really want to get your shine on, wash it with Toss Bright and you’ll see how those colours will pop! If you’re gifting your child, a nephew, or a niece with new clothes, you can wash them with Toss Sensitive because it’s kind on delicate clothes and delicate on hands.

You can also decide to help someone shine by lending a hand to those who are not as fortunate as yourself. During this time, we tend to celebrate and forget about those amongst us that are in need. Donate some of the clothes that you don’t wear to a children’s home or an old Peoples Home. Don’t give away torn and smelly clothes, they too deserve their dignity. Remember to first wash these clothes with Toss Blue if they have tough stains or Toss White.

When’s the last time you bought mum, dad, grandad, or grandma an outfit? Imagine the smiles and laughter, the tears of joy that’s what Christmas is all about, giving selflessly to family and friends. A shirt or tie will do for dad or grandad or a kitenge for mum and grandma. Saying thank you does not have to be complicated. Surprising your loved ones with clothes is not enough, sort them with a Toss tab as well. They’ll be eternally grateful.

This is the time to catch up with long lost friends and relatives and reminisce childhood memories. It could be an old teacher from when you were young or a kind neighbor who was always there when you needed advice.

Brighten their day with some shopping from KAPA and there are assorted gifts you can get for them, like Rina, Rinsun, Captain Cook to Kasuku. When it comes to soaps and detergents, there’s Toss and Jamaa bar soap for your jamii. And not forgetting Cleanroll, Neptune and Softleaf toilet papers.

Whatever you do this festive season, don’t shine alone, share with those around you because this is the meaning of Christmas.

It’s been a wild and bumpy year for some; we hope for a bigger and brighter 2022. Merry Christmas everyone.
