December can be a busy time of year, particularly for parents who are juggling school holidays, end of term shows and all of the other wonderful, but sometimes stressful things that come with this time of year. One way to help you take a step back and enjoy the month, without some of the pressures of Christmas is to start planning and as they say, it is never too early to start planning ahead for the fantastically magical season that is Christmas!
It can be hard to know where to get started without the inspiration in shops and from ads, so you may be asking yourself where to start. Here are a few ideas to help you get started:
It is always a good idea to check what you have before buying more, nobody wants to have endless duplicates of items!
This is the perfect opportunity to reorganise items, with innovative storage solutions so everything will be easy to find when the festive season is here. If anything is broken or no longer of any use then this is the perfect opportunity to get rid of it, leaving space for new Christmassy things.
Spreading the cost of Christmas through buying gifts throughout the year can be a great way to avoid tight budgets and also help you to avoid the uplift in prices as you approach the big day. There are many gifts that you can order early and in advance, like our Christmas eve boxes. These items are small and can be hidden from mischievous eyes with ease. Ordering a Christmas eve box early is a great idea, as you can start to get all the items that go in it gradually, allowing you to put more time and thought into every item.
Personal gifts take the longest amount of time to get made and prepared, so it is best to get these done early. There’s no need to worry about it being delivered on time then.o avoid missing delivery before Christmas. These gifts are often a great way to show you really know someone and make them smile. Why not try a letter from Santa for a fun, personalised touch to your Christmas gifts.
Many people will leave getting or making their Christmas cards until the last minute, usually the day before they write them, but why make this stressful? We recommend getting these done in advance and planning out your Christmas card list so that you can double check it to make sure no-one is forgotten. There is not quite like a well organised plan and list to get everything done!
