The holidays are approaching - fast.

They’ll be here before you know it, and soon you might just find yourself wishing you had more time to shop for gifts.

(And it can definitely put a damper on the holiday season when you’re stressed about finding gifts at the last minute!)

Plus, in this era of “the great resignation,” there’s a mass exodus of people seeking employment elsewhere. Maybe the pandemic made them rethink their current work situation, or maybe they don’t want to return to the office in favor of the work / life balance that teleworking offers.

With that in mind, gifting is a strategy to show your people you value their contributions - that you care about them as people.

It’s always great to send gifts. But when you give gifts thoughtfully, at the right time and with the right preparation, it goes a long way in making your teammates or clients feel valued and appreciated.

It can also help you out to plan early, especially this year.

I’ll show you why.

Takeaways from this episode:
· You can actually save money by taking advantage of early shopper discounts, which help you and the vendor because many are slammed with business in November and December.
· The earlier you shop, the more product availability you’re going to have - and the more opportunities to customize, and the less stressed you’ll be.
· Your gift stands out in a crowd when it’s the first one your recipient receives.
