It’s never too early to start planning for Christmas. While the festive season is a lot of fun, it is also bound to get busy if you aren’t prepared for it. We’ve got some simple Christmas organisation tips to help your festive planning run smoothly.
Start a Gift List
Making a list of presents you wish to buy means you can look out for items while you are shopping in the months leading up to Christmas and store them away until December. This will help you to avoid running around a crowded shopping center at the last minute, frantically searching for something – not fun! Sending Christmas gifts via post or ordering presents online, early on, also saves you on express shipping costs and your parcel is likely to get delivered faster as you are avoiding possible delays at peak times.
Plan your Menu
If you’re hosting a Christmas lunch or dinner this season be sure to know what you’ll be eating well in advance. Planning your meals ahead of time means you can start buying non-perishable items with your usual grocery shop and you will know exactly what is needed later on.
Choose a Christmas Decorating Theme
Getting your Christmas decorating style sorted early on can help you organise which fabrics, ornaments, baubles, stockings and florals you wish to buy. For example you may choose a Vintage Christmas décor style and decide to incorporate this theme into your gift wrapping, Christmas tree decorations and other home décor. You may have decorations from past years which you can use for your new theme so get out your old boxes and decide which ornaments you can use and what you will need to buy.
