Ahead is the New Year. Christmas trees, gifts, anticipation of joy and relaxation. And, as usual, sellers get big incomes on the sale of souvenirs, all sorts of cute trinkets. And you get a bunch of unnecessary souvenir junk and big expenses. How to choose what you need and not be tempted to buy unnecessary things.
Instructions
Step 1
Divide your gift purchase into several steps.
Decide what gifts you are going to give to family and friends.
Make a list of gifts in advance.
This will solve several issues at once. There is a high probability of buying gifts at a good price. You won't have to wait long if you order them from the online store. And you don't have to wander through the malls in the crowd. You will have time to look for something better. And there will be no need to fuss on New Year's Eve. You will shop less. And consequently, the temptations to buy various tinsel, which by and large are not needed, will bypass you.
Step 2
Also determine what you would like to present to your colleagues, if it is customary at your work. Observe your colleagues for a while and see what it would be nice for them to receive as a gift. Think, would you buy yourself such a gift? Sometimes it is appropriate to donate just a box of chocolates or a champagne cake to the entire department.
Step 3
Sometimes you also need to give gifts to your friends.
With whom of your acquaintances are you going to meet on holidays? Determine how many gifts you need to buy. And perhaps it will be some inexpensive but pleasant souvenirs.
Step 4
Decide how much you are willing to spend on gifts. And try to stick to your budget. Before you buy any thing, answer the question, do you really need it? And whether it will be needed by the one to whom you have chosen this gift.
Still, plan some new New Year's baubles to create a festive mood. New toys for the Christmas tree, an interesting garland, a figurine of the symbol of the year.
Buy gifts with pleasure and give them with pleasure.
