It’s a rollercoaster
Christmas is a great time of year and everything, but it doesn’t come without its pressures. Getting the right presents can be tricky enough, especially when you tend to leave it until the last minute.
There is nothing worse than getting the feeling that you’ve gotten the wrong thing…
The carefree phase
Unless you’re organised to the extreme, chances are that Christmas isn’t on your mind around November and early December. The vast majority of us will not have had any Christmas shopping done.
Why would we? After all, Christmas is ages away…
Early bolters
There is always one friend who puts you to shame by listing out what they’ve gotten their partner for Christmas. One or two people might not be enough to get you very worried, but it’s surely a sign that you could do with having at least some idea of what to get.
Where do these people get the time? The crafty divils are always one step ahead.
Sending out an SOS
There has to be someone out there who can help. Their parents maybe, a sibling, their goldfish?
Honestly though, having a good relationship with your significant other’s family makes life a lot easier. They are in a better position than most when it comes to finding out what to get them.
Trying to think back for hints
This is essential. You have to go back through every interaction, every text and every conversation for any clues as to what you can get.
We can guarantee you there have been hints. It’s just up to you to find them.
The procrastination phase
Most shops stay open Monday to Friday from 9 am to 6 pm or so. In other words, the exact time most people are in work, therefore unable to go to said shops.
The weekends are always there of course, but who wants to spend their Saturdays in a packed shopping centre listening to Mariah Carey on repeat?
Finally getting out there
It has to be done at some stage, and it’s never as bad as you thought once you get out there. Be sure to have a good idea of what you’re going to get, so you don’t just go out there with a wing and a prayer.
Something practical that they have a good chance of using would be a good bet. That’s exactly what you’re getting with a LanaiBLO hair dryer, which can be personalised whatever way you want and there is free delivery nationwide to make it even easier.
Mission complete
The moment you have your presents sorted is about as satisfying as it gets. Not only does it feel like a load off your mind, you also start to think that you were most likely blowing it all out of proportion.
Until we go through the exact same thing next year, that is.
You don’t even have to go through these phases this year. Just go for a high-quality hair dryer from LanaiBLO. You can even get a personalised gift voucher if you’re not sure what type to go for!
