Holidays come with an endless list of things to do — decorate your home, organize parties, go grocery shopping, buy gifts, shop for dresses and makeup, etc. Does “get ready” make your list?
Here are some tips to make your holiday a happy one:
- Make a list of things to do. Divide them into categories: home decor, grocery shopping, gift-shopping schedules, and, most importantly, ME.
- List the parties that you will be attending. This way, you can plan your outfit (especially if you are going to a themed event), your makeup, and your gift.
- Create a list of the gifts that you would like to purchase. Group them by family members, friends, or godchildren.
- Buy “generic gifts.” It would be best if you didn’t give gifts you have to return for a larger size. Keep the receipts in case you need them!
- Add a personal touch to generic gifts by adding cute gift cards or a special item. You might want to ask family members and friends what they would like!
The most important thing of all is:
Treat yourself to a special gift. You have worked hard all year and deserve a little pampering. Buy yourself a new outfit, some makeup for the start of 2017, and tickets to your favorite holiday destination. This is not an extravagant purchase. You can call it loving yourself just a bit more. Enjoy your holiday!
