This mom saves a lot of money by buying New Year's gifts in January next year. On the calendar - January 20, many people have just moved away from the holidays, and she is already fully ready for the next season. She not only figured out what she would give to whom, but also found profitable offers, placed orders and received gifts that she would give to her relatives next year for Christmas.
Sober calculation
At the moment, her choice includes at least 10 individual gifts, she hopes to have time to buy something else before the sales are over. Among her best finds are Ralph Lauren jeans, which she bought for a third of the price, and a Julien MacDonald duvet, a discount of about 80%. She did not forget about dinner for two in a restaurant and helicopter flight. In general, savings amounted to about 60%. She even bought Christmas cards.
Not leaving for the last minute
“Most, in particular the purchase of some of the biggest gifts, have already been made. By the end of the month, all this will be completed, ”the girl says. A single mother is used to looking for ways to avoid unnecessary expenses and at the same time save where possible. Importantly, this method avoids stress and anxiety on the eve of the holiday. After all, finding gifts at the last moment can be difficult, and their cost is much higher.
There are fewer and fewer people with normal vision on the planet: but it's not just gadgets.

At the same time, the girl says that she does not spend more time looking for gifts than other people. She makes most of her purchases via telephone, while in front of the TV. Chanis spends from 20 minutes to several hours a day for exploring the Internet to find cheap deals. She receives additional discounts by subscribing to retailers' newsletters, which sometimes offer new promoters shares from their new store.
Year after year
This is the third year in a row when Chanis finishes his Christmas shopping 11 months earlier. Unlike most buyers, Shanis, who is the mother of eight-year-old Riley, does not feel the holiday fuss and does not want to take a loan, because a year has passed since she spent the last time on Christmas gifts.
