Running Out Of Practical Gift Ideas?
Feeling a tad overwhelmed as Christmas draws ever nearer? Are you inundated with ‘to-do’ lists? Diary so full you have no time to think or plan, especially when it comes to practical Christmas gift ideas?
Breathe and read on. But first take a moment to remember the time when all you had to do was rush downstairs, open your pressies, play and eat great food. Long gone; growing up sucks sometimes!
Becoming responsible for selecting Christmas gifts, most of us have experienced the stress and tension that planning and finding practical Christmas gifts for colleagues and clients bring. Fortunately, there are some options that can make it easier.
We are here to share some ideas on practical Christmas gift ideas that avoid the option of giving everyone a standard gift card. An alternative which does not work for everyone, and certainly not for clients and customers. We want your gift to make a statement, be received with pleasure and not be consigned to the hall cupboard. Or for you to be viewed as too lazy to pick a Christmas gift!
Outsourcing has grown exponentially, along with tech-savvy and internet shopping. The modern Generation Y are the most significant users. Being as they are children of the internet age and the most time-poor, it is an obvious solution for them.
Saving time is the biggest reason for choosing to outsource, but at Christmas, some gifts actually need assembling, and not everyone has the time, or even more so the skills to do this. Finding someone who can and will in return for payment is becoming increasingly popular - check out the ads in Airtask!
Your Own Santa’s Helper
Did you know you can employ a personal shopper to do all the mundane Christmas running around? Although this is an extra cost on the budget that needs to be taken into account, it can considerably reduce stress and the time factor. Personal shoppers are not cheap, but they are becoming increasingly popular and not, as most people assume, just for clothes shopping.
Some personal shoppers, or elves, will make the gift selections for you. Although you will have to spend a little time filling them in on the relevant information, they will need to make the right choice for the right person. You can help this process if over the year you keep a file on the people you want to gift, be that clients or family & friends.
