Christmas Budgeting

I always try to stay on budget at Christmas. I make lists, I plan ahead and I maximise sale days, discounts and loopholes where possible. I shop big so the more money I can keep in my pocket through Christmas Budgeting, the better it is for me to treat myself in the sales!

My biggest festive weakness is spur of the moment gifts or stocking fillers that all add up. I am trying to get better at this but it’s a work in progress! I have some great tips in this collaborative post to help you keep on track this year.

Pre Autumn Bargains – Ponchos + Wraps

I’d like to say that Autumn is in the air but as I write this, it is currently 24 degrees outside and I think I have sweated my eyebrows off already. In this ‘midst-season’ I like to pick up bargains ready for the new season. It’s a great time to stock up on scarves and jumpers while the stocks are full and no one else is thinking about buying winter woolies!

Stationery from TK MAXX & HomeSense

TK MAXX HomeSense Stationery

Everyone loves pretty stationery right? Everyone has boxes of empty notebooks they have bought on whim…. just in case you need one in the future? No? Just me then!

My absolute favourite place to pick up unique and unusual stationery is TK MAXX / HomeSense. With each store having their own individual stock, you can always find a gem regardless of which store you visit. In fact, the things I buy most from the joint stores are notebooks and hot sauce!

Christmas hampers from Harvey Nichols

I love autumn + winter. I’m not going to lie. Anything from Harvest Festival, to Halloween, Christmas, right up to early year snow. Yep. Love it.

When birthdays, house warmings and any kind of event that you’d give a gift for, I like to pack beautifully curated hampers. Whether it’s a baby basket, an epicurean delight or a well stocked bundle of beauty products, I just find that there is something cossetting and comforting about a hamper. As you dig out more goodies from inside, it really is the gift that keeps on giving!
