The countdown is officially on! You have 14 days until Christmas. Wait, what? You’re no stranger to picking up last minute Christmas gifts. Question is how do you buy for the person who has everything? Yeah, that person. Sigh. Likewise, other peeps can be just as hard to buy for. What about your neighbour? Your kid’s teacher? That Secret Santa gift exchange? What do you buy for someone you don’t know that well?
And how much should you spend? No one ever mentions the elephant in the room. You know, the green elephant? I’m talking about money. Do you avoid your Visa bill because there’s no waaaaay it’s that high? It can’t be just me! Joking aside while money can be tight it still feels good to GIVE.
