I bet you are not the only one.

Since 2004

Fall is finally here! For many of us, it’s the time of the year when people back home relentlessly post photos of their #pumpkinspice, the leaves change to beautiful fall colors, and of course, Halloween!

As the pandemic fallout from October holiday travel begins to clear up, with some regions experiencing a sudden spike in positive cases and brief lockdowns, the next few weeks are shaping up to be the spookiest yet!

As more potential lockdowns loom nearer, Shanghairen are seasoned experts and know what to expect already. If you are new to the lockdown life or felt like you were underprepared for the last one, we recommend stocking up on essentials and making sure you have many forms of entertainment, too.

If you aren’t sure where or how to get started, there is one expat-friendly platform that has it all. Baopals.com has been providing valuable resources and essentials through the entirety of the pandemic, and is shipping normally with minimal delays throughout China.

What is Baopals?

Baopals connects shoppers all over the world with over 1 billion products from Taobao, Tmall and JD. When you shop on Baopals, you’re shopping from China’s largest and most trusted online marketplaces, with a bilingual service team ready to help whenever you need.

The platform launched on March 1st, 2016 and has continued to add more and more features to help Baopals customers shop with ease.

For essentials, stock up on canned goods, protein bars, nuts, pasta, eggs, and frozen foods (meat, vegetables, etc.). For convenient and healthy lockdown meals, prep your food in large batches and freeze it in meal-sized portions. Check out the Baopals food and beverage departments for your favorite imported snacks from home, fresh foods, pantry staples and all the drinks (alcohol especially) you could ever want!

For entertainment, a laptop and a few good books or a Kindle will help get you through the worst of it, but don’t forget about your physical and mental health too! Invest in some basic weights, a yoga mat and other fitness equipment so you can get in some daily exercise. If you are going to be locked down with roommates or family, board games, party games and puzzles are a great way to pass the time. The Baopals blog has loads of ideas to get your creative juices flowing!

This might not shape up to be a typical Halloween in China, but that doesn’t mean there won’t be plenty of fun ways to celebrate this spooky season. And after the past couple months, we now need an excuse to party more than ever.While you might get a strange look or two in China walking down the street in a full witch costume or something a bit more revealing, Halloween is the perfect time to dress up and let loose with your friends and family, whether it’s at home, a party, bar, club or the curb in front of your local Family Mart.

If you aren’t sure where to find Halloween gear this year, Baopals.com has thousands of scary, sexy and silly costumes, your favorite treats from back home, and decorations to die for.

If you’re a teacher, Halloween is a great opportunity to dress up with your students (even if it’s just over video chat!) and have fun while celebrating different cultures. Spookify the school, your classroom and home with Halloween decorations to get even more in the spirit of things. You may find that it ends up being your most memorable Halloween yet! Go to Baopals.com and follow their official WeChat below to get started. Sign up today and receive 50 RMB off your first order!
