Have you finished your Christmas shopping yet? Not me! I’ve been to tons of stores, have made many purchases but when I check my Christmas list I’ve come to realize that everything I bought was for me! Yes I’m horrible I know. I still have a lot more Christmas shopping to do and this year I did what I’m ever accustomed to do…….leave everything for the last minute. Christmas shopping can be so stressful but I’ve made some really great purchases. In this post I wanted to share a few stress free Christmas shopping tips and of course details of this denim on denim outfit I wore on a recent shopping spree.
I know I’ve said this so many times before but the best part about living in Puerto Rico is wearing shorts in winter! I truly do miss Christmas in New York but I don’t miss the below 0 weather where my nose hairs would freeze and my toes would numb. In Puerto Rico I have the benefit of accomplishing all of my Christmas shopping wearing denim shorts and cute booties.
So, I’ve put together a few simple Christmas shopping tips to help you avoid stress this holiday season.
Make a List:
Write down everyone you’ll be gifting and include various gift ideas for each person.
Start Early:
Waiting for the last minute is a huge mistake! It’s also a very good idea to wake up early and be at the mall a few minutes before it opens to avoid all the hassle of finding a parking spot or waiting on endless lines to purchase your gifts.
Shop Online:
If you hate the stress of shopping at the mall during the holidays shopping online is the best option for you. Plus there are many online sales and great coupon codes. If you haven’t yet register an account on EBATES (www.ebates.com ) where you can get up to 40% cash back on your online purchase and you’ll find tons of discounts and promo codes.
I truly hope these tips are of some help to you and that you survive this holiday shopping season without going crazy or breaking your bank.
Be you, Be Lovely
