HOLIDAYS

There's so much (fun) to do during the holidays. You want to enjoy it but you have an endless checklist for gifts! Here are 8 tips on shopping year-round (and be done by summer) and how to store the gifts, saving money and time!

Tips provided by Danielle Wurth of Wurth Organizing.

Bring a printable

Download a Christmas shopping list printable and bring it with you every time you shop throughout the year (a quick Google search will pop up many options). Place it in a generously sized zipper pouch for spending cash, gift cards and receipts, also a pen!

1

GO OVER LIST AND COST

Brainstorm and discuss gift giving ideas and budget limit for each person on your list with your partner that might share gift giving expenses. Decide on "gift value" (if you score a $50 gift for $25 that's great!

2

STORE GIFTS

Use 18 gallon size totes with a snap lid to store your gifts that you will be purchasing year-round.

3

MAXIMIZE YOUR TIME

When shopping for a loved ones birthday, purchase their Christmas gift at the same time.

4

OUT OF STATE GIFTING + SHIP

This part can get tricky however services thru Amazon and being a Prime member do simplify the process greatly. Pay for professional gift wrapping via direct ship, use USPS.com and arrange package pickup.

5

DITCH BOWS + GO FOR TWINE

Bows took up too much space, were early damaged, and not worth storing the other 11 months of the year. Raw jute twine is reasonably priced, easy to cut, durable to ship, and compliments all wrapping paper.

6

Enjoy the gift giving and shopping process! Gift cards are great too, just personalize your presentation, find a small complimentary product to go with the gift card to make a theme. Happy gift giving!
