Spread Cheer, Save Money: Your Early Holiday Planning Guide to Joyful Gifts, Festive Decor & Delicious Meals

Smart Holiday Planning:

How to Spread Cheer (and Costs!) with Early Planning

The countdown to Christmas has officially begun!

There’s nothing quite like the fun and anticipation of planning - a favorite meal, dream decorations, and the perfect gifts for friends and family.

This year, why not take a smart and joyful approach to holiday prep by starting early and spreading out your spending?

Shopping now means less stress in December and more time to savor those festive moments with loved ones.​

Make Your Holiday Budget Merry and Bright

Breaking up your Christmas shopping into manageable pieces can take the pressure off your wallet and ensure you find truly meaningful gifts. And it gives you the chance to prioritize based on how long an item or ingredient will take to get to you, and how much time you need to make or create something with it.

Whether you’re ordering an engraved watch or a candle for a hostess gift for that party at the beginning of December, a set of wax melts for a friend that you're meeting up with a week before Christmas, or a festive gift for a co-worker, the little-by-little strategy helps you stay organized and avoid last-minute rushes.​

Planning Meals and Decorations

Alongside gifts, now is the perfect time to start brainstorming your holiday menu and gathering decorations.

Try out new recipes, order specialty ingredients, and seek inspiration for a fresh festive centerpiece or wreath. Plan your table. Or plan that plate you are taking to someone else's dinner party.

Make planning fun.

Create the right environment to ignite your creativity and enjoy these moments leading up to the actual events.

Make meal planning and decorating feel like a celebration in itself.​​

Time goes by so quickly it seems, try to live in these moments you create that are full of positive and happy vibes.

One-of-a-Kind Christmas Gift Baskets

Every year we make one of a kind Christmas Gift Sets/Baskets (coming soon), but a lot of people also like to curate their own gift baskets.

Our gift baskets are for those people who simply don't have time to do all that or have run out of inspiration cause maybe the entertaining side is more interesting to them.

The holidays should be about connection and joy—not overwhelm.

Embrace savvy planning, pick up small gifts and decor along the way.

Invite your Mom, or a friend you won't be seeing at Christmas, for whatever reason, to go artisan market shopping, support small businesses while you have fun finding unique gifts.

Create a holiday season that’s both memorable and stress-free.

Happy (early) holiday planning!
