Don’t let the festive stress build on you. Instead, make use of this festive spirit to bring out the best, this Christmas. If you still haven’t got the opportunity to give a start to the Christmas celebration and plans for 2016, here’s what you need to do:
1. Make a budget for the plan
With a little time left, you not only need to have the count of a precise budget, but you also need to make a perfect ‘to do list’ for the celebrations. So, your budget should include counts of:
• For outgoing people – Plane/ Travel/ Restaurant Tickets and accommodations (Choose Groupon coupons and vouchers to get additional discounts of up to 50% off on nearby accommodations and restaurants and up to 25% off on popular getaway deals).
• For the big- hearted ones– Gifts for all the loved ones/ family members/ friends (Use Best Buy Coupon codes to buy all those pricey and heart melting presents with discounts of up to 50% off).
• For party lovers – Decoration and food expenses.
Pro Tip: Buy your gifts right now from online stores– only if you don’t wish to receive damaged and defected products in the last minute that are returned as nothing but just store credits! Groupon is offering 80% off on 100s of Top Brands, this Christmas.
2. Considering Extras
Whether you are going to throw a party or whether you are just going to send gifts to all your relatives- you should always consider paying for some extras. Christmas comes only once in a year and you better make that a lavish affair. Consider buying those extra presents and pay for those extra bills using credit cards. Don’t forget, that you are always at a benefit while paying for your bills, when you have joined a credit card reward scheme!
3. Baking and Decorating
Have you ever considered Christmas without cakes and decorations? If you have the capacity to afford the former and still don’t present beautiful cakes and decors to Lord Jesus and Santa, the holy spirits may get totally turned off with your act!
Baking dry Christmas cakes and cookies should be started right away, especially if you are going to gift them to your neighbours. Cakes and cupcakes that need icing, should be done away with only at the last moment.
For picking up exclusive decorations this Christmas, you should visit online shops like Best Buy to avoid the Christmas rush on the streets, as well as to grab discounts as high as 60 to 70% off. Always remember, the more you buy, the more you save (therefore, you must also ask your neighbours if they are interested in bulk pricing). The Cyber Monday and the Black Friday Sale is still on the move, so you can try your luck in this last week of November as well.
