The Holidays are just around the corner which means it’s time to start making your gift giving lists. Since the holiday season can get a little hectic it’s important to be well prepared so you can have time to enjoy the season stress free. Here are a couple of tips to keep in mind for the upcoming holidays:

• Christmas is the season of giving but a lot of us tend to forget some pretty important people. We always shop for our close friends and family members, but what about our coworkers, teachers, employees and service workers? It’s important to show your gratitude and appreciation for their hard work, but in all the bustle we can forget about them. Even a little “Thank You” card can go a long way! So be sure to put those people on your list now so you aren’t left scrambling for something last minute
• During the holidays, there are tons of different gift options and it can be overwhelming. When in doubt, give a gift that you enjoy. Maybe it’s a homemade brownies or a gift card to your favorite florists. If it’s a gift you’d enjoy than it’s more likely that someone else can enjoy it too.
• Retail products are great holiday gifts, but don’t forget to include gift certificates. Gift certificates are great for holidays because not only are they easy to use but they can also help you get the job done fast. Adding a small something to a gift certificate makes that piece of paper more tangible and thoughtful as well. Solyn Studio gift certificates purchased in store all come with a gift bag of goodies to add a smile and fun to the gift when unwrapping.
• Shop early! Items run out and crowds can be daunting. The sooner you get all your presents taken care of the more time you can spend relaxing and enjoying the spirit of the holidays.
