Your one stop for last-minute holiday gifts
The Mall at Bay Plaza is an ideal destination for last-minute holiday shopping, with free Wi-Fi, exclusive discounts, a food court, more than 100 stores, and special holiday promotions. Make spirits bright for everyone on your list with gifts from Macy’s, J.C. Penney, H&M, Forever 21, American Eagle, Victoria’s Secret, Michael Kors, Old Navy, Pandora, Ulta Beauty, Express, The White Barn Candle Company, Gap, Bath & Body Works, Kay Jewelers, and Zales (just to name a few mall options).
We asked Maranda Ashkar, director of mall management and marketing, for her tips on getting the most from your visit. She suggests logging onto the free Wi-Fi, ‘bayplazamall,’as soon as you enter the mall. That way you will get access to real time discounts, sales and breaking deals.
Having trouble thinking of what to get that last person on your list? Visit mallatbayplaza.com. “Our website features last minute gift ideas from our retailers,” says Ashkar. “In addition to the stores, the kiosks and carts throughout the mall also have lots of different gift ideas you may not have thought of.”
When asked about this year’s the top gift trends, Ashkar tells us,“Tech gifts are always a hit. Virtual reality headsets are the big winner this year, and can be enjoyed by just about anyone of any age. Coats, fragrances, makeup and stress relief gifts are always popular.”
While all of the stores in the mall will have special promotions through the end of the season, Ashkar gave us an insider’s guide to some of the hottest deals to be found this year:

The Mall at Bay Plaza offers holiday shoppers even more—extended hours for your shopping convenience, special events, beautiful seasonal displays and of course, Santa!
The Mall at Bay Plaza makes the timeless tradition of photos with Santa a little more enjoyable with reserved time slots. Ashkar recommends that guests register ahead of time to get a promotional package price and save time by not waiting in line.

The mall’s extended holiday hours make it possible to get all your holiday shopping done—no matter how late you started. Many of the department stores, including Macy’s and J.C. Penney, offer holiday hours that extended even further than the mall’s. Check store hours, as well as sales, promotions and new arrivals, by going to the mall’s website, www.mallatbayplaza.com
Ashkar’s final piece of advice: “Make holiday shopping fun family time. In addition to shopping here, the kids can ride the slides at Billy Beez, eat pizza at Sbarro, or catch a movie at the AMC Theatre.
