Feeling a little colder? Seeing a return of the thicker layers of clothing and hot chocolate? Seeing more red and green on the streets? Well, it might be because Christmas is coming soon!
You may be thinking, isn’t September too early to be thinking about Christmas? But really, no month is too early to prepare for all of Christmas. Let’s beat the cold weather by bringing the warmth of gift-giving and sharing to us today. Here are some things you need to remember before buying gifts:
1. Consider who’s receiving the gift
Decide what kind of gift they would most appreciate. Some people prefer a handmade gift and a handwritten letter rather than a store-bought product. Some people prefer practical gifts such as classes, workshops, or even subscriptions that they can use in the coming year. Personally, as a pink-lover and a fashion enthusiast, I would love a Jelli M1 mask in Taffy to match with my everyday outfits!
Regardless of what it is, it is a must that the gift is in line with their preferences and needs.
2. Plan ahead
Avoid last-minute stress by making a list and setting up a budget ahead of time. This allows you to avoid rushed shopping decisions, overspending, and missing anyone on your to-gift list. It is also important to take note of the sales and discounts from brands and stores. Tip: If you plan on gifting a loved one a Jelli M1 mask or a filter pack, shop at the website jellim.com and use the exclusive monthly voucher for your order.
3. Wrap up well
Presentation matters. You should make sure that your gift is well-wrapped and presentable before giving it to your loved one. While it is more important that your gift makes the recipient happy, it is also important that it stands out and looks good even if it is still covered for them to anticipate what’s inside. Imagine receiving a gift wrapped in bubble wrap versus receiving it in a gift box, doesn’t it make a difference?
The joy of gifting lies in the thought and effort put into it. By keeping in mind these tips in addition to giving yourself time to prepare and decide on the gift that would bring joy to the receiver, you can give a warm memory to your loved one this Christmas!
