The holidays are right around the corner, which means it is almost time to start finding gifts for your loved ones! If you have no idea where to start for holiday shopping, we have some tips to help you out.

Plan

The first thing you will want to do when getting ready for the holidays is make a plan. Think about what type of Christmas you are wanting to have this year. Do you want a big gift-giving celebration, or something smaller? Once you figure that out, you can start creating your Christmas list.  Set your budget for the year and have fun shopping!

Earn

To buy gifts, you will need money. If you are struggling to get the perfect gifts for your friends and family, we have some tips for you. Look around your home and find items you have been wanting to get rid of or things you do not need. You can list these online and easily sell them for extra holiday money. If you have time, finding a part-time seasonal job would help with your holiday budget as well. Take on a few extra hours over the weekend and you’ll be set. You can even save some spending money for yourself. You will deserve it after this season!

Save

When shopping, keep an eye out for clearance items that would make a good gift or stocking stuffer. Take advantage of store sales or weekly deals companies may have. Gift baskets are a great idea for gifts if you are looking to save. No matter who you are shopping for, a gift basket would make a great gift. All you need is a little bit of creativity and time to make the perfect basket. Your friends and family will be impressed with the gifts you scored, and you’ll be excited about your savings.

Give

Remember to give back to those in need this season. You can participate in Operation Christmas Child Shoe Boxes, or your local church may have a few different donations going on for people who could use a gift basket.

Make shopping a hobby, not a chore, this season!
