With the final weeks approaching before the kids start school holidays it’s a great opportunity to complete your Christmas shopping. As we all know shopping with kids is hard, the whining, the wanting of everything and especially trying to hide gifts purchased for them so they can’t see can be difficult. I’m joining BIG W to share with you a guide and strategies to help reduce the stress of Christmas Shopping, plus I found some really great gift ideas.
BIG W is making it easier for you to create memorable moments for the whole family and being able to complete your Christmas shopping all under the one roof.
- Create your Christmas shopping list – this will ensure you don’t forget anybody
- Circle items in the catalogue – to give you an idea of the gifts you are wanting. Take the catalogue with you so you can show the staff instore the item you are wanting and they can then easily point you in the right direction.
- Shop solo – drop the kids at grandmas, plan to shop while they are at school or daycare, or leave them at home with your partner and shop at BIG W in the evening, most stores are open till late even through the week! Find hours for your local store here. Shopping without children is ever so helpful so they won’t distract you in your mission to complete your shop. Also, don’t plan on shopping with a friend as they too can be a distraction. You may not want to purchase the same type of gifts and chatting and catching up may interfere with your mission!
- Start early – have a healthy breakfast and coffee before you arrive at the shops. You’ll be on a mission to complete your shopping list and healthy start to the day will give you all the energy you need!
- Be organised – get a trolley so you don’t have to carry everything and have on hand your shopping list and a pen. As you put an item into your trolley cross it off your list, this will make it easier to determine what is left to purchase and that you won’t double up on gifts.
