Starting Christmas shopping early for real this time!
🎄 The Colourful Garden Company’s Guide to Starting Christmas Shopping Early (For Real This Time) 🎄
Every year, without fail, we make the same bold declaration sometime in early November:
“This year, I’m starting my Christmas shopping early.”
And then Christmas begins its slow, sneaky build-up.
First the supermarkets slip in the mince pies when nobody’s looking. Then the radio casually hums Fairytale of New York, as though we won’t notice. Before long, the John Lewis Christmas advert drops and someone on your street has put up their lights so early you start questioning whether you’ve accidentally slept through half the month.
By mid-November, we’re all pretending to be organised while quietly panicking. The gift lists begin. The hiding places begin. The “where did I put that thing I bought for someone important?” begins. Your home gradually becomes a festive storage facility, filled with bags you’re afraid to open in case you ruin your own surprises.
You want thoughtful gifts. Beautiful gifts. Gifts that actually feel like they mean something… rather than whatever was left on the shelf near the checkout.
Which brings us to the good news.
We have done the organising early at The Colourful Garden Company!
