Not about sales but about shopping



Some Christmas gift ideas


By Sister72

Have you started Christmas shopping yet? We are entering the month of December which means the Christmas shopping season is hotting up! Its not too late to take a little time to give some thoughts to the gifts you are giving people.

All too often I myself have been guilty of giving gifts I bought at the last minute and then find that the recipient does not enjoy it or its not for them.

So, here are some practical gifts you can consider for the people in your lives:-

  • membership to a wine of the month club – They’ll receive a bottle of wine every month so they get gifts the whole year round!
  • gift certificates or vouchers for a book store – I like this for children to inculcate the love of reading. Look in MPH or Borders or Kinokuniya
  • Puzzles for kids because it helps them think while playing
  • Luxury food hampers – for friends or family who enjoy their food

Alternatively you could buy a cake of the month membership and use it to send cakes all year round to your friends! I didn’t even know this existed.

I always start my shopping early to make sure I pick up some good deals along the whole year. This way, I make sure some thought goes into my gifts and that I have the time to pick them up at good prices. After all, I’m sure my recipient would also appreciate the fact that I didn’t have to break my bank to get it for them! :)

    I think we’ve all done that – waited too long, then bought something just to buy it. It wasn’t really what the recipient wanted or even liked.

    Some suggestions are to shop all throughout the year and buy things when you see them that people on your list would like. Just don’t forget you’ve bought them!

    I like the idea of the cake of the month – it’s a different idea, and would be such a treat for someone with a sweet tooth.
