Ashley shares her tips on how to avoid the Holiday shopping season dash...
I’m one of those somewhat mythical creatures who shops year-round. It’s not because I’m super organized (just look in my ‘gift’ closet) it’s that I’ve learned over the years in order to keep my sanity (and bank account from completely depleting in one fell swoop) I had to spread it out throughout the year. And I do so by following these very simple rules:
1. If you see something you know someone will like, buy it. Even if its six months early. Waiting for 'something better' probably isn't going to happen.
2. Keep an eye out for sample sales (we often include them in our weekly What’s Happening newsletters) you can score great stuff, at even greater prices. (Recently I bought two amazing Christmas gifts at Jessica Jensen’s holiday sale.)
3. Hostess gifts are worth their weight in gold. This year, my favourites are Pottery Barn’s wine stoppers and Consonant soap. Either separate, together, or as an addition to a bigger gift, these easy (very affordable) options make everyone smile. (For other original, non-boring-bottle-of wine hostess ideas, head over to SweetHome!)
It’s never too late to get ahead so start now! (Hint: Our big Holiday Gift Guide is coming out next week…)
