If you are in a pinch and are not sure what your money situation will be like next year for the Holidays you should start your 2009 Christmas shopping the week after Christmas.  This is when all of the shops and stores will be having huge specials.  They wait for everyone to get money and gift cards for Christmas, and then they have HUGE sales so that you will spend your money with them.  Well, why not jump on the bandwagon and start shopping for next year and SAVE a bundle while you are at it.

Be careful of what you do buy if you do decide to do this, you will not want to buy gift cards, gift certificates, food, candy or any items that are perishable and or have an expiration date.

DO buy items that you KNOW your friends and family will love and that you would buy them anyway.  Also, holdai decorations, wrapping paper and gift bags will be on sale.  Buying these will save you money in decorating and gift wrapping next year.

Happy Shopping.

This holiday season save some money and wrap your gifts in materials that you already have or that cost you nothing.  Each year people buy hundreds of yards of gift wrapping paper only to have it be thrown in the trash and into a landfill.  Why throw your money away when you can make a gift look fabulous with items that you have around your house.  Here are some eco friendly and free ideas for your holiday gift wrapping this year:

>Next time you go food shopping ask for Paper bags, these are GREAT for gift wrapping.  They not only cost you nothing at all, but they are good size and can wrap gifts of many sizes.  You can also stamp and decorate the paper bags with items you have in your home already.

>Don’t throw away cards your get in the mail from friends and family, reuse them.  Just simply cut out the pretty images and sayings and make your own holiday cards and gift tags.

>Reuse wrapping paper, tissue paper and gift bags that are given to you as gifts.  Why throw away a perfectly pretty gift bag after one use.

>Use berry’s and twigs from outdoors on your holiday gifts for decoration, these cost you nothing and will look very festive for the holidays.

A gift for the holidays can look really great when you get creative, have fun!
