I felt the need for a radical change

Organizing habits
12 January 2020Organizing well in advance for Christmas gifts allows us to:
- Not arrive with water under our throats and under stress at the final rush.
- Allows us to save money!
- Allows us to be more imaginative in choosing the gift to give!
The gift does not always have to be material, it could also be an experience to remember!
How to proceed?
- Start with the idea that Christmas gifts should actually be useful and possibly genuinely enjoyable, not gift giving just to give a gift.
- Create a list with the names of those you want to surprise with a Christmas thought.
If you set it up with a column dedicated to past years (2018/2019/2020) you will be able to keep track of what you have given that person on this holiday in previous years, so you can avoid unpleasant situations.
- Remember that DIY gift giving has a very special flavor. For example, I take the opportunity to make cookies with my son that we give to everyone in the family. In addition to investing time in making them, we strive to find a cute and different way to wrap them each have. It is the thought that counts, more than anything else.
- Often many different ideas can be found online; it is a way to waste less time while also having the opportunity to choose not only items but also special ideas, such as giving a tree planted in the recipient's name. In addition, searching online saves us all the time that would have been needed for the travel required to search for Christmas gifts in stores, moreover at the time of year when stores are busiest.
