A few ideas to take the stress out of your holiday shopping this year:
- Start early! By starting before Thanksgiving, you can beat the crowds and begin to put a dent in your list, so that you can spend more of your holidays enjoying the festivities, family, and friends that go along with the season.
- Haven’t made your list yet? This weekend could be a great time to get this done. While you’re at it, decide how much you can afford to spend, and make a commitment to stick within your budget.
- Shop online. A crowded and unproductive trip to the mall last weekend sealed the deal for me. I’ll be doing most of my shopping from the convenience of home this year! I’ll return to my favorite stores some time after the holidays, but in the meantime, sites like etsy.com make it possible to use the web even for unique and handmade gifts.
- **Shameless Plug Alert** Check out exhale’s Holiday Retail Therapy event next Friday 11/25 to enjoy a festive atmosphere with special boutique discounts and giveaways, snacks, and mini spa therapies. Bring the kids along for complimentary yoga classes while you shop! Exhale Battery Wharf will offer kids yoga from 9:30-10:15am and 11-11:45am.
Also this weekend:
- Don’t forget to sweat! When you’re done shopping, maybe take advantage of some new weekend Core Fusion classes being offered at exhale Battery Wharf starting this week? Saturday 4:45 Core Fusion Open with Chrissy Snyder, and Sunday 4:45 Core Fusion Cardio with Meg Scannell. Or for the best de-stress, try Exhale Yin yoga with Martica Wakeman Sunday at 4:30 for some deep stretching and relaxation!
Happy shopping and Namaste!
