“He’s making a list, he’s checking it twice.” This may be a line from one of the most recognized Christmas carol. Almost everyone who celebrates Christmas knows all about Santa’s good list as well as his naughty list and most people do their best to avoid being placed on Santa’s naughty list.
While the idea of Santa’s good list and naughty list is a fun way to convince children to be on their best behavior during the Christmas season, the concept of a list is what Caregiver Lady adheres to while doing her Christmas shopping at her favorite mall Metrotown. On hand of course are plenty of store coupons and best buy coupons to avail of huge discounts. The smart and practical person that she is, it is the only way to shop with pleasure!
She creates lists of everyone she plans to give gifts to this year, lists of potential gift ideas and even lists of the actual gifts you select. Better to shop early just in time to send the balikbayan box to make it arrive around Christmas time!
Making a list of everyone one plans to give a Christmas gift to should be the first step in any Christmas shopping expedition. This list is so important because it gives one a handy reference to all the people you should keep in mind while you are shopping and also gives an indication of the total number of people on your Christmas list. Knowing how many people are on your list is important for setting a budget. Consider how much money you have to spend and divide this amount by the number of people on your list and this will give you an idea of how much you can spend on each person on your Christmas list.
When Christmas shopping one should also keep a list of the items actually purchased as Christmas gifts for those on the list. This is a good idea because if you have a particularly long list, you may have difficulty remembering all the items you already bought. Keeping an updated list of whom one has been already purchased Christmas gifts for and what was bought them will minimize this problem. This list also comes in handy when it is time to start wrapping all the Christmas gifts purchased.
And if one gets too harried and hassled, no worries, there is always the best buy gift card you can buy a friend or relative for. Happy early shopping!
