MERRY CHRISTMAS Fashionistas!
I cannot believe the frabjuous day (Alice in Wonderland phrase) is almost upon us! Where oh where did the time go? Just the other day we rang in the new year of 2015, then there was summer, then Thanksgiving and now...Christmas!!!
It's been a busy year for me and maybe for you to. There may not have been time to go shop at various stores so here are a couple Gift giving tips!
SHOP ONLINE:
In the comfort of your home, without the hustle and bustle, you have free range to shop and ship. This is the best time to shop online as there are a lot of deals: free shipping on certain amounts, % off, $$ off, combined coupons...take advantage while you can and once you receive your items, now take the time to wrap or bag it in pretty gift paper or gift bags.
GIFT CARDS:
I've ran into this lately. I'm not sure what to get the person and I don't want to stuff cash in an envelope so rather than not give, I'll get a gift card and then the person can get what they may desire. I don't think it's thoughtless...I think it's still thoughtful and convenient. Plus, depending on the card, they can reload it (grocery card, Starbucks) without having to carry cash around and...you can det a discount for buying many gift cards at once. Place it in a nicely decorated gift card box or bag and VOILA! A pretty neat present!
SERVICES:
Do you own a business or have a certain skill? Why not offer a service as a way of gifting. For example, I have an Image Consulting business and I've offered styling and make up services as a gift to loyal customers. Are you good with computers or gardening? Offer to assist a neighbour, friend or family member with something they may have a need for and do it not for payment or to receive anything in return but as a kind gift gesture.
Even better...volunteer your time!
COSMETICS:
Ok...for that trendy, fashionable girl, you can't go wrong with cosmetics. It doesn't matter what it may be, having more than one brow pomade, eyeliner, mascara, eye shadow palettes just adds to collection of possibilities when it comes to makeup and makeup looks.
So this gift idea list is not the usual...perfume gift, socks gift, crock pot gift..it's thinking outside the box. Giving a gift is not a must but it is a generous way to show your appreciation, love and kindness to someone.
If you can't afford to give a gift, maybe someone will give you a gift or just a basic hug and kind words are also ways of giving. May everyone of you have a safe and happy Christmas holiday! THIS IS FASHIONISTA NEWZ!
