Buy your husband / partner new clothes for Christmas From years of experience, I am quite sure that men spend about 10 percent of the time on their appearance that we do. That said, new clothing makes the perfect gift for the men in our lives because 1. we get to have a say in what comes home and 2. because we will be safe in the knowledge that they will be looking sharp for Christmas Day. This is another purchase you can make in the third week of December when clothing stores begin marking down and you’re securing your own outfit. It will also help you feel less guilty about #1.

Dress up the house Christmas decorations can be acquired really cleverly by mixing high and low-priced ones together. Christmas baubles are in large supply and incredibly cheap. Even highly intricate decorations become quite affordable the closer you leave it to Christmas. Stick to a couple of areas and do these very well, whether it be the tree, flowers or Christmas lights. There is nothing more festive than a beautifully dressed Christmas table on Christmas Day. And don’t forget to grab a new Christmas candle. Fragrance, like music, will set the tone for Christmas in an instant.
