Best Christmas Gift Directory

Christmas shopping - or lack of - sneaks up on us every year, no matter how good our intentions.
Traditionally, we can sometimes turn into the original Scrooge at Christmas, the stress and pressure to try to make everything nice and find the best gift idea gets to us before the first ornament is out of the box, just the thought of it usually makes us grumble.

A FEW GENERAL IDEAS

1. Mystery Gift - My sister's family does a nice twist on picking names. They all buy something wrap it and then they each exchange a gift, no one knows ahead of time who will be receiving. They set a comfortable price limit.

2. Make a tradition of tree ornament crafts. You can give these for gifts, they are always well received and can be cheap to make, but very nice. Put your name and date on it and give one every year - a great present for the kids to give. Or take a short cut and buy them at a craft sale and personalize them with fabric paint or markers.

3. Give pictures in a unique way. Most relatives and friends will enjoy pictures. Do something creative - make a tree ornament from a picture and a juice lid, they are great. Or make a twig frame - cost is nothing but a few twigs and some yarn plus the picture. If you get school pictures, you'll have plenty. With digital cameras and software available now, you can do some really nifty stuff for plenty cheapola.

4. Baking/Cooking etc. If you are wanting to do something nice for someone, why not cook them a meal and take it to them? New mother's are especially fond of this. When I first had my daughters, it was the best present that I received. Seniors will LOVE it if you eat with them.

5. A service. In our hussle and bussle world, don't be surprised if someone really appreciates an hour of your time - run some errands, give rides (parents can really enjoy this if they have older kids - most of them spend their spare time in their car!), help clean up, declutter, clean something - use your imagination. Another great gift that the kids can give as well.

Make an effort to be creative this year. It's more fun to give, and more fun to receive - and it can be easier on your pocket book too.

If you haven't yet, get out your planner or notebook, make a page for Christmas gift ideas and start brainstorming.

Then make a date with yourself to clear some time blocks to get it done.

And enjoy Christmas.
