Now as much as I love shopping even I can find shopping for Christmas presents quite stressful the crowds and the queues to pay, so I thought that I would share with you my top tips on how to minimise your stress levels when Christmas shopping.
Online or instore?
Now this decision you need to make quite quick before the Christmas rush hits because otherwise your gifts will still be in the post and I'm going to admit I do a mixture of the two as you can find unique things in little high street shops as well as at Christmas markets there are many happening all over and you can get really cute Christmas decorations so there a great place to look but if your not a lover of shopping then online shopping might be best for you as there's none of the crowds and no queues to pay
Have a plan
Once you've decided where your going to shop you need to decide when your going to do it. Don't leave it till Christmas Eve to go beacause as we all know at Christmas things can sell out so they might not have the thing you ere looking for but if you've planned well when your going then you should have another day you can go and get the bits you didn't manage to fort on your first shopping trip.
Make a list
Have at least a rough idea of what your wanting to get and who your getting presents for
Set yourself a budget
This is really important or you can end up going overboard on one person and only spending a fiver on the other!
Organise your time
Once you've got a list then you'll have an idea of what shops you need to go in so work in a logical order so your not ping-ponging about this will also help maximise your time
So they are just a few of my top tips for Christmas shopping if your stuck thinking of ideas on what to get people whether they're close friends or family then fear not I will be writing two gift guides which are coming very soon
Happy 1st of December
