I hope you all had a fantastic Christmas and New year with your family and friends, I know we certainly did! We overindulged, argued over games, partied too hard and are now sick of the sight of each other. Operation Christmas success! Now to do the dreaded thing and mention Christmas 2016. I know it doesn't bare thinking about just yet, but with a bit of forward planning you can take some of the stress away from next Christmas. I understand money is tight enough in January, but if you can spare any at all, then I would advise shopping in the sales for next years gifts. It's fun to go and see what you can get. If grandma likes bath stuff for then get it now, or you have an that aunty that loves candles, these things don't go off find a bargain! If you can't stretch to gifts, then get your cards and wrapping paper. Sainsbury's were selling boxes of cards off for 25p each box! The main thing is, to be careful not to buy rubbish. There's no point buying a gift that is falling to bits just because it has £20 off. If it's a gift box that is damaged on the other hand, the contents will still be fine, just re-box them yourself in a box you have left over from a gift set. I always think personal presents are much more exciting as you don't know what's going to be in them. My daughter loved her girlie box I made up from an old Johnson's baby box. Most importantly don't forget to ask for money off, even if it's already in the sale just try it and see after all they can only say no.
