‘Tis the season of joy and celebration — a time to connect with loved ones and gather together to share meals and gifts. But balancing your busy schedule with all the holiday to-dos can be challenging, especially when you add holiday shopping to the mix. From figuring out what to buy to wondering if the packages will arrive on time, it’s a very overwhelming period.

To make the most of the season, here are a few simple tips on reducing stress to help you nail gift-giving this holiday season, plus a thoughtful gift guide for everyone on your list.

Know yourself

What typically causes you stress during the holidays? Identifying those areas might help you navigate the season more easily and enjoyably.

Make a list and start early

Staying organized is crucial during the holidays. To ensure you don’t miss anyone, start crafting your gift list with ample time and jot down potential gift ideas. Doing so allows you to plan accordingly and beat the last-minute rush.

Set a budget

No holiday gift is worth getting yourself into debt. Therefore, determine how much you’re able and willing to spend. Then, split your budget based on your relationship with the recipients or the price point of their hobbies.

Buy online

Running from store to store can be stressful and take up a huge chunk of time. Why not skip it altogether? Heat some hot cocoa, grab your laptop and shop online. For an even smoother experience, head over to Walmart’s website and buy everything you need in just one place. From toys to tech and beauty, Walmart has something for everybody. If you want to take it a step further, buy your gifts online and ship them directly to the recipients.

Set a deadline

Keep yourself accountable and add dates for when you must complete your shopping, wrap gifts and send packages to ensure everything is ready in time.

Embrace their joy

Instead of shopping for the latest, greatest craze, take the time to consider the person’s interests. Think about their personality, hobbies or career to guide your choices.

Ask for support

It’s normal to feel overwhelmed during the process, so accept help from friends and family. Not only will it help manage stress, but it can give you the opportunity to reconnect with loved ones and strengthen your support network.

Have fun

This time of year is meant to be enjoyed, so don’t let the stress get in the way of the fun. Stay flexible and adjust as needed.
