How to keep your presents safe this Christmas
Top of the Christmas priority list – where can we hide the presents so that the kids can’t find them?! Our imagination runs wild with crazy thoughts to make sure that Santa’s secret is safe. In 2018, The Times writes that it is approximated that 292 burglaries happen a day throughout the UK in the month running up to Christmas.
One of the most obvious nights for burglaries to take place is Fireworks night. It makes sense with regards to the loud bangs and families heading to the nearest displays. When the hour goes back the nights are darker, and the thoughtful families have already started to get ready for Christmas trying to break up the actual expense and cost of Christmas, so houses are filled brand new and boxed items straight from the shop floor. Burglars know this. And this is why home and contents insurance are so important at this time of year.
So, our TOP TIPS for keeping your Christmas presents safe in your home are:
Don’t leave presents wrapped under the Christmas tree in a window.
Lock windows and doors before you go out.
Lock windows and doors before you go to bed.
Leave a light on when you go out.
Draw curtains when you go out.
Make sure home visitors are genuine – always ask for ID.
Use a UV pen to postcode your valuables and/or new presents.
Why buy home and contents insurance?
The benefits of home insurance are essential to have at this time of year. Imagine all your Christmas shopping was completed and you were mid-way through the festive season and one cold wintery day you came home and your front door was a jar. You pushed your front door open and you just knew that someone had kidnapped all of your Christmas spirit. Heart breaking. All your thoughts and effort for the season had been stolen. What would you do? What if you didn’t have insurance? Phone the police and hope for the best?
At least with a home insurance and home contents insurance policy will give you some peace of mind.
What is included in home contents insurance cover?
Home contents insurance will usually include loss, fire, theft and accidental damage. Is home contents insurance worth it? Well, you can see why it is, especially at this time of year. Without home contents cover you would have no help to recover any of the expense that Christmas has cost you. And it is a silly mistake to make when cover can be affordable, and claims can be made throughout the year – obviously policy depending.
