The end of the year and the holidays are a time we typically look forward to. It is also a time we are usually looking for anyway to make it memorable and special with minimal stress and obligations. Here are my tips for making your holiday shopping a little more fun and a little less stressful. Begin by making a list of who you need to buy gifts for. Try to buy multiple of the same items. This will simplify your shopping and you will have less on your mind. You will also have fewer stores to go to. I try to add my shopping in when I am doing my usual errands, this saves time and makes shopping less of a burden. I also order as much as I can online to avoid traffic and the long checkout lines. When you have purchased an item for someone add it to your list under their name. This way you there is no confusion when it comes time for wrapping. It also helps you see that your gifts are appropriately dispersed. And then comes the wrapping! Wrap one to three presents a day, instead of wrapping all the presents at once. You could also wrap them as you receive them. Hunching over presents and reaching for supplies can actually create a lot of tension and strain in the neck, shoulders and arms. This is why it is best to avoid wrapping for an extended period of time and focus on one to three a day. Don't forget to cross it off your list after its been wrapped! You can avoid all shopping stress by shopping at Rejuvenate with Christina. Gift wrapped gift sets and gift certificates are available as well as Comphy Co sheets and towels.
