Blogmass Day 4 - Christmas present spending

Hello there this is blogmass Day 4 and today's post is about Christmas presents the next few posts will be about this too because i feel one post is just no enough for a topic like this.

Here i am going to be talking about controlling your spending this Christmas.

As we all know around Christmas you want to be on-top of your spending by this i mean you want to be able to control your spending. 

Sometimes you can go overboard with your spending (i certainly do) and by writing this i hope to convince myself not to spend so much at once unless i am doing a big Christmas shop. I also hope to convince you to control your spending.

sometimes you don't need to control your spending but sometimes you can spend a bit to much around Christmas time but that just happens. 

Try making homemade gifts for a change you can buy a simple book and customize it to make it a scrap book or by something that you can decorate (hobby craft is a good shop for crafty things)

Before you go shopping set yourself a set amount to spend i know its easy to go over that but at least you will stay around that target 

If you really want to save money then don't over exaggerate you target by setting yourself a target that is nearly impossible to stay to be realistic but only spend what you can afford

Keep a note of the things you have bought and the money you have spent so you know what you still need to get and if you need a budget or not.

i hope these tips help you with your sending it not a long post but i hope you find what you need.

P.S remember to treat yourself as well you will not have fun shopping if you don't by a few things for yourself i like to go shopping and treat myself a couple of day or 1 day before Christmas because it keeps you relaxed and means you get some great deals to
