Join us on our quest to get all of our holiday shopping done by October 31st, so we can actually enjoy the holiday season with our friends and family.
Ok, you've got your holiday list pulled together. You now have an all encompassing list of each and every one of those individuals you'd like to give a little something to this holiday season. Don't have your list pulled together yet? Feel free to utilize a helpful spreadsheet here. Don't like spreadsheets? Neither does Meme -- she's sticking to her guns with paper and pencil (not ink, pencil).
This week, take a little time to write some notes regarding any ideas you may have for your recipients. For example, I know I want to get my nephew a kite for Christmas this year. I'm a little more ambiguous with my niece but I know she wants something dark hot pink (not just pink...). You get the idea -- write it down, whether it's the exact gift, or just the gist. Get it on paper, so you don't have to spend energy letting it roll around in your head. Plus, I'm a firm believer that when you free that mental space, it opens up area for new inspiration to appear.
What would that perfect item be, that would bring a smile to their face? It might be something they've had their heart set on or something they didn't even know they wanted.
Don't have an idea for every single person on your list? Don't worry! For one thing, we're hosting a Wishlist event* next week, here at Initial Attraction. As a result, we might just have that silver bullet that you're looking for, on file for one of your friends. (It's always good to lead by example as well, so be sure to stop in and fill out a wishlist for yourself).
Having trouble coming up with something? Brainstorm with your partner in crime (remember, that friend doing the challenge with you?). You can also post for inspiration on our Facebook page or right here on our blog. If there's one thing that Meme and I have learned it's that you all have a wealth of incredible ideas to offer. We've all been in similar boats before -- what to get the teachers this year that will truly demonstrate how important they are, what to get that person who has everything, what to buy for the guy (that's not boring brown), etc.
*September 22 - 29 2013: Make a Wishlist. You've had your heart set on Waxing Poetic or Juliska, or all of the above (and more!). You know you want it, but do they? Get just what you want this holiday season (and let us do all the work!). Create an Initial Attraction Wishlist 9/22 - 9/29 and we'll send coupons to those you think should know about it (making gifting even easier). We'll keep track of what's been purchased and when (no dupes!). Do NOT shop for your own Christmas gifts this season! Make a Wishlist and we'll take care of the rest. (Think about how much you would love to have a wishlist like this to shop from, then lead by example!).
