I spent just an hour and a half shopping because I already know what they like. So, this time I have avoided some holiday faux pas.
Here's how:
- I pay attention to the people I am shopping gifts for. I really focus on what they want and like and not what I want for them.
- Always remove price tags. So, I just said I shop cheap gifts (except for my parents and siblings) for them, so I make sure they won't have any idea how much the gifts are. hehehe. It's reallt tacky to leave them on gifts.
- Wrap the gifts. I nicely wrap them with care. Presentation is everything. Nicely wrapped gifts will make even the simplest presents stand out.
- I don't give gifts to everyone I know. unless I am rich and powerful, but even so.. I will still not give gifts to everyone I know. This is how it works for me, if somebody who is not on my list gives me a gift, I don't really panic. I just smile and thank that person. Do you also do the same? We are not obligated to give a gift in return, are we? Although it might be a good idea to have a few extra tokens handy for moments like these.
Happy Christmas!

you are right on this, its the thought that counts. Wow, 1,300? what have you been buying ba that you almost provided every body in your just with this amount? Gues, i am not a good shopper. I dont' shop coz i spend much instead. i just give money to relatives na lang.
Well I'm gonna take your advice next time.
@Imelda, Yeah, i spent only P1,300 that day. And I got a lot of stuffs for them with that amount altogether. I have started my Christmas shopping since last week of October to avoid the rush. So in total, I spent more or less P5,000. ;) not to mention they are really good stuffs - branded. ;)
That's what a bargain shopper does. ;) whenever the store is on sale, I make sure i could take advantage of it.
