Christmas is just around the corner, so it’s time to start thinking about the gifts you’ll buy your loved ones. Christmas shopping is likely to be a bit more daunting this year, with the financial pressures we’re facing due to the energy crisis and ongoing inflation. That’s why we’ve put together a new gift guide this year, focusing on affordable Christmas gifts and our top tips for buying Christmas gifts on a budget.
Let’s start with how to make the most of your budget.
Making The Most Of Your Christmas Shopping Budget
When buying Christmas presents on a budget, it’s essential to consider how to make the most of it.
One of our best tips is to spread the cost of Christmas by buying little and often in the lead-up to Christmas. Starting your shopping early means you can disperse the price over several months, making less of an impact on your monthly income, rather than one big lump sum coming out at the end of the year.
When shopping online, financing options are available that help you do this by splitting your purchase cost into weekly or monthly payments, with no interest fee as long as you meet those payments.
Another way you can get more out of your budget is by finding ways to get creative and make thoughtful gifts, avoiding more expensive items. People value the thought put into gifts rather than money, so why not look for things that show how much you care?
Where you need to buy items for presents, keep an eye on deals and shop around. We all know that Black Friday 2022 is coming up, and there may be some fantastic bargains on items you have in mind. Be careful not to buy unnecessary things when you see these deals, though, just because they are cheap. You can view all of our Black Friday Jewellery offers here.
Christmas Gift Ideas
If you’re not one for crafting, you’re probably looking for affordable Christmas present options. We’ve got some great ideas for affordable and thoughtful gifts from some of our favourite brands, Nomination Italy, Stackers and our own brand range.
Nomination Charm Bracelet
A Nomination charm bracelet is the perfect affordable gift for a loved one. With a range of charms starting from ÂŁ20, you can find a charm that means something to your loved one for an affordable price.
If you’re shopping for someone who doesn’t already have a Nomination charm bracelet, then you could take advantage of our Free Bracelet Days offer, where you get a free 17-link bracelet when you buy two charms! That means for less than £40, you can get a whole charm bracelet with two charms. This amazing offer ends on the 17th of October, 2022, so act fast!
You can even make the charms extra special by adding your own engraving or uploading an image of handwriting to be engraved onto your charm bracelet.Â
