As much as we vow every year that we’ll start to get more organised with Christmas in advance, October always seems to roll around and before we know it we’re 2 paydays away from the big day and no presents bought! However, rather than panic the best thing to do is consider affordable Christmas present ideas.
Vouchers
Rather than buying vouchers for a retailer that you don’t even know they like, why not design your own vouchers? often one of the nicest presents we can give someone is the gift of time – so you could give them some babysitting vouchers, vouchers that say you’ll help with the housework or even vouchers for a girls night out that they can redeem at any point in the future.
Personalised Gifts
You can never go wrong with personalised gifts – we’re big fans of them here at Style XL. This could be something as small as a family photo being made into a mug or a keyring, to something like a large canvas picture with a family photo printed on. You can even get personalized memory books made. One of the nicest things about personalised gifts is that they are completely unique and show that you have put thought into what to get someone, and we all know it is the thought that counts.
Secret Santa
Why not get together the adults in your group and suggest a Secret Santa? The chances are that you’re not the only one worrying about what to buy everyone and how you’re going to be able to afford it. Not only does a Secret Santa help take the pressure off of everyone, but it’s also a great deal of fun too; so everyone will love the idea.
