Talk to family and friends about possibly changing the way you approach your list this year. Set price limits, buy only for the children, or draw names within a circle of family or friends so you can buy one nice gift instead of lots of small ones. Agree to go out for a meal together during the festive season in lieu of gifts.
Gift s don’t have to be expensive- oft en it’s the simple things that people remember most. While it may be tempting to just give cash, taking the ti me to choose a personalised gift will mean so much more. If in doubt, gift vouchers are always appreciated, and many of Argyll’s businesses offer vouchers for everything from a spa treatment to fine dining.
