Holiday Shop With Alex Calame at The Gallery at Westbury Plaza

Holiday shopping is in full swing, and for Alex Calame, that means hitting Regency's The Gallery at Westbury Plaza for everything on her list! Read on for her tips and tricks for a successful shopping day.

If you're anything like me, you're in full-on holiday shopping mode from now until the end of December. Each year, I tell myself I'm going to be proactive and get all my shopping done before Thanksgiving, but that never happens. This year, shopping may look a little different, but I was so excited to check out the The Gallery At Westbury Plaza, because it really is a one-stop-shop for everyone on your holiday list.

I was determined to get a few gifts for my three girls and shop for a few virtual Secret Santa exchanges I have coming up. I haven’t been into the Lands' End store before, but I was blown away by the cute options they had for the kids. I picked up some matching PJs, leggings and of course, a few dresses.

My next stop was Nordstrom Rack. My go-to gift for my girlfriends is always a pretty scented candle — because who doesn’t love that — especially around the holidays! They had such a great selection of oversized candles and other home decor items that I may or may not have picked up a few items for myself.

I know everyone's wondering what the socially distanced shopping experience was like, and I have to say: I felt very safe. No store was overcrowded and all employees were wearing masks.

Located a half mile from Roosevelt Field Mall on Old Country Road, The Gallery at Westbury Plaza boasts a powerful retailer lineup including Trader Joe's, The Container Store, Homegoods, Nordstrom Rack, Bloomingdale's, Saks OFF 5th and Old Navy, etc.
