Hints and Tips To Make Christmas Gifting Super Easy

Here’s a few tips on how to best tackle this year’s Christmas Gifts.

For most of us, celebrating Christmas is fun and a truly memorable time of year. Spending quality time with friends and family, indulging in our favourite foods, sipping on our favourite drinks, gifting loved ones something special and enjoying the holiday season which quickly turns into the ‘silly season’. 

When it comes to gifting, often we feel overwhelmed, not quite sure where to start and what to get those somewhat difficult relatives. You know the aunts and uncles that are super fussy and never truly happy with what they get. With that said shopping ends up becoming a last-minute dash at midnight just days before, or worse case the entire list gets gift cards. 

So, let’s avoid Santa’s alarm bells, skip the panic buying and do something different this year

1. Write Your Christmas Gift List

It may sound like a simple and easy task, but you’d be surprised how many people skip this most important step. So put pen to paper and list down all the friends and family that you intend to buy for this Christmas. Even the next-door neighbours or your child’s teacher or dance instructor should make the list.

2. Allocate a budget against each Christmas Gift

You may think it doesn’t matter what you spend or worse still you’ll work it out when you know what you are looking for, however this simple clarification of the dollars set aside for each gift will help point you in the right direction for what gift you are looking for. Let’s be honest if you have $10 to spend, more than likely it’s going to be a box of choccies or a tin of Christmas shortbread biscuits, a budget will give you clear direction and save you valuable time in the long run.

3. Now it’s time to write down some Christmas Gift ideas for each person

Unsure where to start, conduct some google searches based on the person you are buying for; best Christmas ideas for; females vs. males, children vs. adults, suitable workplace KK gifts, or something unique for the kid’s teachers.  You can even include your budget in the search.

This time of year, our letterboxes often overflow with store catalogues, so get out your texter and start circling those gifts suitable for those loved ones on your list.

For those modern-day shoppers that enjoy shopping online from the comfort of your loungeroom, think about the brands you like and make sure you subscribe to their mailing lists. It’s the perfect time of year to seek great gift ideas and secure some fabulous deals.
