Dealing with Anxiety While Shopping Alone

how do you handle going to the store? I'm trying to get Christmas presents, and just being in the store by myself gives me severe anxiety.

I always bring someone with me and I have some heavy duty headphones that I can listen to music with.

I'm okay ish if I have someone with me, but since I'm getting presents, I can't bring any of my family, I don't know what to do

I order what I can online delivery or for pickup. If I have to go in I go when it’s least busy hours (weekdays before 3ish here), know what isle the stuff is in that I’m looking for, take someone I know and trust with me, and use loop ear buds or headphones to cancel out as much noise as possible. I thankfully also know some ASL so my girlfriend and I can communicate without having to speak at all. It makes it easier so I can tell her if I need help or want to leave
