Starting a Christmas savings account almost feels outdated. Maybe it’s because I remember these Christmas savings opportunities being advertised nearly 40 (!!) years ago, but do they still work? That was the question on my mind as I explored ideas to save money for Christmas and looked into what banks actually still offer worthwhile Christmas savings clubs.
After a lot of reading and research, I’ve come up with an approach that will not only make starting a Christmas savings account effortless but also ensure a stress-free and joyous holiday season. No more worrying about finances when you should be focusing on the holidays – let’s dive in and discover the shocking secret that will transform your Christmas savings game.
I don’t know about your kids, but mine look forward to trick-or-treating every single year. We’re given so few years comparatively to enjoy this Halloween activity, and I feel like 2020 stole one from us. This year, though, we’re hoping everyone can trick-or-treat safely, but if not – we have safe trick-or-treat alternatives at the ready!
The restrictions in place to keep us safe during the COVID-19 pandemic have either stopped trick-or-treating in many areas or if you’re like us, you’re just not comfortable with going door to door right now. Whether it’s been called off in your area or you’re being cautious, this situation has probably left you searching for Halloween fun for your littles.
Mothers Day is fast approaching and now is the time you need to be getting together a token of your appreciation for the mothers in your life. Being a mom is a tough job that goes 24/7 and she deserves so much more than stale chocolates and gas station roses.
As a child, I always remember my grandmother getting Christmas cards, usually starting the first week of December. She’d place them all over the huge bay window along with her decorations and I’d marvel at them as they accumulated. My other grandmother had her piano absolutely covered in them from December 1st through January.
Valentine’s Day is especially great when you have preschoolers – they’re old enough to want to celebrate, but too young to want to celebrate without Mom or Dad by their side. I love all the cute projects they bring home from school and it’s always a joy to then replicate their projects (or as every Mom does – turn to Pinterest for ideas!)
Saving money on Christmas presents isn’t always easy, but with this little “trick” you can save your family hundreds of dollars (and no, it doesn’t involve buying gifts ahead of time or doing a savings plan all year long!) In fact, while the holidays are certainly on my mind, this is a tip that works whenever you’re buying gifts!
