We know that this time of year can be trying for budget-conscious consumers. Thankfully, we’ve developed resources to help you get through the holiday season with your budget and your sanity in-tact. Here’s where to go for whole lot of holiday help:
Regifting. We’ve created an entire microsite, Regiftable.com, dedicated to the topic of regifting. On the site you can read tips on how to regift right, listen to a regifting song, print some gift tags, send an ecard and enjoy consumer-submitted regifting stories. You can also submit your own regifting story for a chance to win a $500 gift card to Amazon.com.
National Regifting Day. Did you realize that there is an entire day dedicated to the art of regifting? Well, there is! And this year it falls on December 16. Rush right over to NationalRegiftingDay.com to learn how to host your own regifting (White Elephant) party.
Gifting. Here’s a few last minute gift ideas that won’t break your holiday budget. And if your budget is especially tight this season, here’s one way to explain the situation to your kids.
