Christmas often rhymes with spending, consumption, but it is above all a celebration... and especially a family reunion. It's a family break that we don't want to sacrifice: for Christmas, we have fun, we "let go" and we buy gifts and good things all the time.
Did you know that it is possible to indulge yourself while consuming better? This is why other consumption models have developed.
What are the most important gifts we offer at Christmas?
Books, construction toys, board games and children's clothing are the most popular products in families at Christmas, so we bring you some alternatives and tips to consume better and cheaper!
Online and physical store depots: Not all depots are housed in the same place. It is necessary to distinguish a depot specialized in toys, the other in decorative objects, in clothing... There are both second-hand products and new products.
They can be bought between private individuals as "the right place" or from a professional. The latter being the guarantee of having a good quality product at a competitive price. Don't forget that making the choice to consume locally, at a store in our neighbourhood will always give you good advice!
Renting baby clothes: This allows you to give a child clothes for Christmas, and to be able to return them when he or she grows up. You can also offer your gift as a voucher or subscription.
Private sales: These sites offer you the opportunity to buy branded products at discounted prices, the opportunity to please without ruining yourself.
The flea markets: Walk the streets of a city on a Sunday to find decorative items, toys, dishes and clothes. Something to please even with a small budget.
Another tip: Did you know that sewing is becoming more and more trendy? Sewing is no longer just for our grandmothers! Doing it yourself" creates a certain personal satisfaction. Making a unique garment, a scarf, a sweater.... will allow you to offer a unique gift!
We hope we have brought you new ways to consume better and cheaper for Christmas. Not to mention that love remains the most beautiful gift!
Merry Christmas and a happy New Year,
