Here are some tips to take stress out of Holiday shopping this year:
1) Make a list of people you will be buying a gift for before you go shopping. If you have a large family or friends to buy gifts for, it can get expensive. In our family, we have made decision to buy only for children. Another way to reduce costs is to have everyone draw a name out of a hat and buy a present only for that person.
2) Think of gift ideas for people on your list and write them down. What are their hobbies and interests? What are their needs and wants? If you cannot come up with anything, ask person directly for ideas. This will save you time wandering aimlessly in mall in search of a gift and you will give a gift that your gift recipient really wants and will appreciate.
3) Buy a few extra gifts, for instance chocolates, so that you will be prepared just in case you forgot somebody or an unexpected guest arrives bearing gifts.
4) If possible, start your Holiday shopping a month or two before Christmas. It is never to early to prepare!
5) Don’t forget about online shopping! Buy your gifts over internet. You can find most gifts online, shop at your own convenience and you won’t have to step foot in a mall.
If you follow these tips you are on your way to a rewarding shopping experience and a less stressful Holiday Season.
We all must remember that Christmas is a joyful time of year. It’s not about gift you give or receive but it is about cherishing special people in your life and spending time with them. Create new traditions and memories that will be with you for a lifetime.
