If you've ventured out at all in the past few weeks you may have had to check the date because it appears to be December already. I'm talking about ALL the Christmas in ALL the stores. It truly starts earlier every single year. I strongly believe that decorating your home should take place AFTER Thanksgiving because stopping to give gratitude with loved ones deserves focus.
However, when it comes to shopping for gifts I do believe that there is great benefit in striving to complete it in the month of November. December is full of fun events and it's important to enjoy them and experience the joy of the season. It can eliminate pressure and stress to have your shopping completed ahead of time.
Make a list of those you want to buy for and set a budget! Finances are a huge element that should be addressed first. You should NEVER go beyond your means to bless someone. The blessings then become burdens and a detriment on you. The recipient would never want that for you.
Gifts are an act of love and gratitude. Keep that in mind when making your selections. It is not about the expense but the thought and meaning.
Side note: I personally find handmade and vintage items the most precious gifts! Check out Etsy to find those one of a kind pieces!
Sometimes finding that awesome gift you know the recipient will love is easy but often it can be difficult.
Some of my fellow bloggers have put together some fabulous gift guides that I'm excited to share!
