If you are one of those gifted people who Christmas shop all year long and tie it up with a bow in one day, then today might just be a pat on the back. But I still want you to play along.
You have 2 things to accomplish
- Make a List. Include everyone you hope to buy a gift for. Family, teachers, coworkers, the dog walker, etc. List everyone so you have a good visual of what you’re dealing with. If you have ideas (or gifts!) Go ahead and fill those in too.
- Buy one gift. Add a gift card the next time you’re at the grocery store, add that extra item when you find it on sale, preorder something special (did you get your email about the presale?) Every dollar spent now is one you don’t have to spend in December so knock out at least one gift this week!
BONUS TIP: Have at least “generic,” extra gift on hand just in case. You know for when you’re invited somewhere last minute or maybe receive something unexpected and want to return the generosity. Go ahead and plan for that now! These are great choices for that.
