Its not too early to be thinking about Christmas Gifts

This might be a really unpopular post because I’m bringing it up so early, but the reality is that Xmas is not all that far away. Before you know where you are, there will only be a few weeks left and the panic would have started. People will slowly start to break out in a cold sweat and worry about what they should be buying for everybody.

Last year I had plenty of time for Christmas shopping and it was brilliant. I did not have that last minute rush to the shops and I could take a leisurely walk around the town with no hassle and no crowds. Unfortunately this year I am working full time, so I need to get myself totally organised.

I find that the worst part of Christmas is pinning down the family and finding out what they actually want for Christmas. If I know what to buy I do not mind spending money, it is really annoying though when you meander round the shops, wondering what to buy and then you come home empty handed.

This year I really want to try and do my bit for the environment and have decided to take a look at ethical Christmas gifts. Knowing you can help other people and the environment is always a good thing when buying presents, and isn’t doing this at Christmas perfect for the spirit of the holiday?

The sheer volume of choice out there for gifts is unbelivable, but while trawling through I think I’ve also managed to find the perfect ethical tableware – now I can be sure that my dinner table is going to look fantastic come Christmas time.

As per usual my husband never knows what to buy me, so I have dropped a few hints about ethical vases. That way he really does not have any valid excuses not to buy me flowers throughout the year. You have to give them a push in the right direction sometimes don’t you.

Oh well I digress, I must get back to my shopping lists and see what Great Aunt Gladys wants this year it will probably be the same as every other year pink fluffy slippers!
