Winter arrived in Cairo last week.  Everyone woke up on Wednesday to rain in Heliopolis and the east side of the city. Now, we think people should use their laziness for well, more laziness. Check out those 4 startups helping YOU get through the winter.

1. Otlob

Say goodbye to that gym subscription. 👋 We’re not moving anywhere for the next couple of months, let’s face it. For that, we’re going for Otlob. An app and website where you can order from over 500 restaurants in Egypt including Cairo, Alexandria, El Mansoura, Port Said, Tanta, Asyut and Zagazig.

Order a warm chicken crepe, hot chocolate from Costa or a burger and all while you’re warm at home, without speaking to a human either. Get Otlob for free on Android or iPhone.

2. Kilim Art

A lot of your Whatsapp groups and Facebook Messenger conversations will be, “you come over” and, “no, you come over.” In the case when your friends do agree to come over to your place, have a gorgeous rug adorn your living room with a kilim. Kilim Art produces high quality, handmade kilims for your floors and walls! They’ll make it pretty, and even add a little bit of warmth at home. 🏡

3. The Giftery

The Giftery is an online shopping website but with a unique take: you buy things for other people. You can even use their powerful search by event, age, gender and budget to search in over 150 shops available!

Remember that same chat you’re having with you friends? Buy them a personalised gift and you can even get it delivered to them as well. Check out their Christmas Gift Guide for the ultimate winter ideas. 🎁
