Not to add any pressure, but we are a mere few weeks away from Christmas. Of course, I’m sure I’m not the only master procrastinator who tends to save their Christmas shopping to the last minute. From gifts to food preparations, the later I can leave it, the better.
Undoubtedly, I have found this strategy often leaves me quite stressed and almost always manages to take away some of my Christmas cheer. Which is why I’m taking a serious stance this year to make sure I’m as prepared and organised before the Christmas panic starts rolling in. My top preparation tip? Aim for a does-it-all retailer.
As a shopping expert, it is quite frankly my job to scour the web for the best deals to make shopping more manageable and less stressful. From finding the best pre-December sales to discovering the best one-stop shops, I take this task very seriously. Especially, when it comes to finding options that will make mine and your life much easier.
And as I’m not one for gatekeeping, I will share the fail-safe retailer that has saved me various times. It is none other than cult favourite British retailer, Marks and Spencer. Known for their impeccable capsule wardrobe new-in pieces, cupboard favourites, and multi-generation offerings, I often run to M&S for their reliable products and high-quality offerings. With online ordering, next-day delivery and in-store click-and-collect, M&S is a great option if you, like me, are trying to get ahead on your holiday shopping but don’t want to go through the hassle of sourcing different gifting options and making various shopping trips around different retailers. Luckily for us, their holiday essentials are as top-tier as one would expect.
Which is why we have curated our top festive yet stylish options that will elevate anyone’s holiday experience. From the avid host, to the chic fashion enthusiasts and the generous gifter- you can’t go wrong with these expertly selected pieces.
