Christmas presents

The days leading into Christmas can be stressful at the best of times. The school year is wrapping up, so you have to juggle your childcare and work, where your boss wants everything to be finished before Christmas as if the world will end on December 25. Throw in the usual tension about family gatherings, planning your holiday and family dinners and the pressure of finding the right present for your child might just become an afterthought or push you over the edge…. So to help you with this final part, which of course is the only thing your kids worry about, we have called on our wonderful NZDSA community to help you with some ideas and suggestions for your Christmas shopping.
