Simple Ways To Make Your Holiday Less Stressful

I changed something up this year and it's been a game changer. I've bought GIFT BOXES INSTEAD OF WRAPPING PAPER !!!! Yes, they are big boxes and have BOWS !!! I also bought tissue paper and voila !!! Gift ready for underneath the Christmas Tree. Making small changes to my already strict routine can sometimes throw me off. However, looking back at holiday seasons past I realized that I always started my Christmas Shopping in the middle of Dec. (LAST MINUTE) and I noticed that come Dec. 23rd instead of baking, singing carols and watching all the holiday movies I was wiped out. Completely stressed. I spent the later part of Dec. still buying presents, wrapping gifts as they came in from Amazon and knew I was struggling keeping up, The change that I made this year is one that I'll keep doing. The gift boxes are like keepsakes, it would make a great place to wrap up and store your festive holiday mugs or Christmas Cards, making the boxes like an extra gift for that special person.

Here's a little video that I shared over on my TikTok.

Hoping that It brings you a little inspiration !!

Here is a quick look at a few that I've filled to the brim. They are very sturdy and each one cost me under $6. I'm a firm believer that whatever we can do to help relieve stress, I'm all for it !!!!

Some boxes don't come with the bow attached and that's okay, I found some pretty ribbon while at Marshall's and picked some up. I made my own gold bow. How festive !!!

Look at how pretty this ribbon is ! I snagged it for under 6.00 !!!

Marshall's also has festive holiday tissue paper ! I used this as filler in the boxes as needed.

I'm going to leave you with this sweet image of our youngest grandson !!! We love him so much !! Look at his smile..... He has my whole heart.
