Tis the season blah blah blah.....
Now we here at LS365 love Christmas and all that it represents (well one of us does, the other not so much....lets vote who below) π€£π€£
However, it is a time for presence and not all about presents.
Love, laughter, togethernes, joy, great company and great memories....
Of course, on the flip side to that is everything that goes with striving to better the nighbours tree, decorations, presents, party, outfits etc etc....
However you do choose to celebrate this time don't spend what you don't have just for THAT day.....
A couple of ideas you could follow instead:
If you are buying a "main" present get it in the boxing day sales as it will be cheaper β
οΈ
Re-use your Amazon brown paper as wrapping paper that you could leave as is or colour / design uniquelyβ
οΈ
Donate your present spend to a charity that really makes a difference to lives globally (www.givingwhatwecan.org)β
οΈ
Do you get your toilet roll from Bumboo? If you do, have you signed up for their free xmas wrapping on each roll which can be re-purposed for presents?β
οΈ
Stop buying presents and buy experiences instead, less for landfill to deal with and memories last longer β
οΈ
Here is the caveat at the end.....
If you do still want to buy then please think of those small businesses who do not have huge marketing teams, or multiple departments to woo you with creative subliminal messaging.....
We do what we can, with the "gifts" we have so please turn to those as each and every one of those sales is a step forward to their goals of living their lives the 365 way β€οΈπβ€οΈ
