Beyond the dazzling Christmas décors, Christmas feasts, and Michael Bublé on repeat, Christmas also rings in quality time with family and friends.
December has just begun and we know you’re already busy setting aside budget for your Christmas shopping spree! Before you hit the shopping cart, take a read at these 7 mindful tips we know will help you create a meaningful Christmas celebration ahead (and without burning a hole to your wallet too!).
Setting up your space for the Christmas mood does not necessary mean purchasing a new set of Christmas baubles! You do not need to be a D.I.Y pro to make yourself some gorgeous Christmas decorations. Just grab whatever you have at home: from papers, CDs, cardboards – and voila! You’re all set to make your own Christmas decorations.

2. Origami Christmas Trees
3. Popsicle Stick Snowflakes by A Girl and a Glue Gun

There are countless of creative ideas out there when it comes to gift packaging! Got a lot of recycled papers lying at your home and you have no clue what to do with them? Christmas is the best time to give these recycled papers a new purpose – as gift wrappers!
Up your packaging a notch by adding on small fallen Christmas tree branches tied with a jute string and it’ll be the perfect vintage-themed gift. Be creative in what you recycle: you can make use of fabric cloth as well to your gift wrapping. When it comes to recycled gift packaging, no trash goes to waste!
It can get overwhelming with the endless Christmas preparation throughout December. It is important to not forget the real meaning of Christmas – and that is to spend uninterrupted, quality time with your loved ones.
Get the whole family involved with your Christmas to-dos with family-fun activities like a baking session or even wrap gifts together!
