Although gifts should not be the intentional focus of Christmas, we all know that they play a role in what is typically the most beautiful holiday of the year. And honestly, it is a satisfying experience to find the perfect gift for a friend, caregiver, or loved one in your life, and to find it with plenty of time to spare. It truly is better to give than to receive.
Today’s Countdown to Christmas Challenge is to create your Gift List* and place it in your holiday planner directly behind your calendars. Begin to list everyone you would like to give a gift to this year. Once your gift-giving list is complete with names, you can make a conscious effort to brainstorm for gift ideas at home or while out shopping. Be sure to make notes about your ideas and list the final gift once you’ve made or purchased it. Then refer back to the list for future gift-giving occasions such as birthdays or holidays.
* Available as a download in the 100 Days to Christmas 2011 eBook. Members to ListPlanIt.com can print or download Gift List B in Holidays & Occasions.
