I haven’t done a ‘How To’ post in a while and so I
thought I’d do one to give you some tips about Christmas shopping and how to
pick the best present.
1.
Listen
My first tip would be to listen to
the person all year round. The more you listen to people as they talk in an
every-day situation, the more you know about them and what they like when it
comes to buying presents. I love knowing exactly what to get someone because
they mentioned it months before or something like that. It just makes life a
lot easier.
2.
Know Your Audience
This is a similar point but it’s about remembering that one of your friends loves tartan scarves or benefit mascaras etc. it’s all about paying attention so that when you’re out shopping you know exactly what they would/wouldn’t like.
3. Shop Around
It’s no secret that Christmas is an
extremely expensive time of year. I find that one of the most useful things to
do if you find a gift you like is to check the price of it on other websites as
it’s often always cheaper somewhere else.
4.
Budget
This is always something I forget
to do, however, I think if you make a list and allocate a rough guide price for
each person it can mean that you can limit your spending much more as you’ve
planned everything out. I also think saving for Christmas is a good idea, not
just for presents but also all of the Christmassy hot chocolates and gorgeous
decorations.
So those are a couple of tips to
help with Christmas shopping, have you done all of yours yet, or are you a last
minute type person?
