** Focus on quality over quantity. Instead of buying lots of gifts, how about more personalized, more thoughtful, and more interesting gifts? Better yet, why not give experiences–dinner at a favorite restaurant, a night at the theater, a manicure and pedicure–instead of stuff? Gift certificates will bring lots of smiles! Often times we give gifts that we would want instead of really giving consideration to the one the gift is going to.
** Budget, budget, budget–and I don’t just mean money. Budgeting can be apply to time, effort, and other limited resources. Is the fleeting pleasure of handing someone an exquisitely wrapped package really worth 30 minutes of your life? Budget what you’re able to give in terms of cash, effort, and time, and commit to honoring your plan. Keep a running list to work from, what a time saver!
** Keep yourself sane by calling in help. Even the supermen and women among us can’t do everything on their own. This holiday season, give yourself the gift of hiring a sitter for an evening so you can simply have some downtime, ordering some or all of your holiday meals from a local caterer to cut down on your time in the kitchen, or consider hiring a bartender for your party so you can focus on enjoying yourself and spending time with your guests. You deserve a break today!
Happy Holidays!
