Well Good Morning to One and All!!!!!!

Nine days to go to the big day, how are you are with the shopping... We all get so stressed out over it all and running around like mad and I know I say it year after year Ill be more organised next year.. Ya right has not happened yet.


Well here are a few tips how to make the shopping a little less stressful....

Plan Ahead

Yep, I know I kinda already said it, but planning ahead can save a lot of stress, keep the budget down and make sure that everyone is purchased for. It may come natural for some and others might be laughing reading this right now. But there’s still time! Read the rest of this post for all the tips and you’ll bust through this shopping like no one’s business!

Set a Budget

Set a budget and stick to it... If you set a Christmas budget ahead of time so you don’t end up getting caught up in the crazy that can be Christmas. This also helps you decide what to purchase, if it doesn’t fit in the budget, you don’t buy it. Simple!

Make a list

List out everyone you need to buy for and either what you’d like to get them with a price by it or if you don’t know yet, include a price you’re planning on spending. As you purchase gifts for people you can start to mark off names and fill in the actual amount you spent which also helps you stay within the budget. Everyone gets purchased for, you’re staying in the budget and — most importantly — you’re stress free!

Stay in one Store

One stop shop is the answer! I know you might not be able to do every gift all in one store, but if you’ve planned ahead and made a list you should be able to narrow down the amount of stores you have to go to.


Happy Christmas Shopping, Enjoy the fun and frolics and most of all laugh...... It is the season after all to be JOLLY...

Bye Bye for now!!!! I need to get shopping...xx
