You've already purchased the small gifts, individual items for specific people. Consider a surprise "family" gift, a game console, something for the den, or a family spring break vacation. It might cost more, but figuring it on a per-person basis, your family gift might be the best value of the season. Plus, it has to be shared, and that's what Christmas is all about!
It's only a few days until Christmas. Check your pantry now to ensure you have extras for Christmas dinner. Rolls, cranberry sauce, canned vegetables. Whatever your family traditions are, extras tend to turn into just enough. Today's your day for a grocery store run!
Your holiday theme doesn't have to be complex or expensive. Choose one color and repeat it throughout your home. Red, green, and white are traditional colors, but use what you like! Handtowels, tree ornaments, even ribbons tied around your sofa cushions. Have fun, make it pop, and live a little this year!
Place a removable Command Hook on the INSIDE of your door UPSIDE DOWN! Run a loop of wide ribbon over the door and hang your wreath on the outside. After the holiday, pop off the hook, leaving your door undamaged and like new!! This is perfect for renters or apartment homes!!
No one likes wrapping gifts at midnight on Christmas Eve!! Stock up on wrapping paper now. Set up a wrapping station in a seldom-used corner. A folding card table works well. Leave out your paper, scissors, and tape for quick, spur-of-the-moment wrapping opportunities. Make it fun, and after the holidays, you can pack it all away. Holiday wrapping chores complete ... and days early, too!!
