3 Helpful Holiday Shopping Tips for Caregivers
The holiday season is meant to be a relaxing, joyous time with family and friends. However, this is often far from the case. Between the festivities, decorating, and everything in between, it’s easy to get tuckered out well before you begin your holiday shopping. This is especially true for in-home caregivers, who often put others’ needs before their own.
But never fear! Visiting Angels of Jenkintown, PA, has compiled three easy shopping tips caregivers can use to navigate the holidays like pros.
3 Holiday Shopping Tips for Caregivers.
Use these three helpful holiday shopping tips to snag the perfect gift for everyone on your list.
1. Have a Plan
Having a game plan can take the hassle out of holiday shopping. Make a list, and check it twice. Include everyone you want to buy a gift for, including your friends, relatives, colleagues, clients—even your mailman. Then, write down all the stores or websites you’ll need to visit to purchase your presents.
Caregivers can bypass never-ending checkout lines by doing their holiday shopping online. Still need to stop by a store in person? Consider visiting a shopping mall, like King of Prussia or Franklin Mall. While they may be crowded, you’ll have easy access to a variety of stores in one place.
2. Go the DIY Route
Are you a crafty person? If so, consider making homemade gifts for your loved ones. Do-it-yourself (DIY) gifts feel much more personal and can even be fun to make. Consider DIY gifts that cater to your passions or skills. Love to knit? Make your mom or sister a scarf or pair of warm, cozy mittens. Do you have a passion for painting or drawing? Paint personalized holiday gift cards for your friends and family members. Not only are homemade presents thoughtful, but the recipients will appreciate the love and care you put into them.
3. Host a Gift Exchange Party
Do you have a large group of friends and don’t have enough time to shop for each and every one of them? Rather than purchasing a present for everyone, suggest a gift exchange holiday get-together, like White Elephant or Yankee Swap. Everyone brings one gift with a preset price limit. Not only is this a savvy way to skip holiday shopping, but it’s the perfect opportunity to spend time with your closest pals.
