There's always so much to do around the holidays, and Thanksgiving runs right into "When do we put the tree up?" and "When do we make time for Christmas shopping?" that gift-giving can become more of a chore than a joy.
And that's how my Annual Christmas Challenge came to be!
This is an annual Christmas Challenge, so if you Pin or bookmark this post, you can come back to it every year!
What is the Annual Christmas Challenge, and What Can it Do For Me?
The Annual Christmas Challenge is great because you can:
- spread out the cost of your gift-giving
- give unique, cherished, top-quality gifts
- gift either something personalized you've created or something available with a click
- have all your shopping done by Thanksgiving (there's even a step-by-step checklist with dates)
- be entered into the drawing for a gift certificate!
There are so many options to choose from! You'll find ideas that are great for parents, teenagers, friends, kids, siblings, in-laws, and anyone else you can think of!
NOTE: I am a Forever affiliate, called an Ambassador, because I love Forever so much! This means I make a commission from purchases at my website, and being your Ambassador means I'm here to help you with questions, too.
How Does it Work?
The Annual Christmas Challenge officially starts until September 1, but you can always explore early and start thinking about what you want to do! As I mentioned, everyone who participates in the Christmas Challenge goes into a drawing for a gift certificate, too! (You just have to email me to let me know you're participating.)
You can watch this 7-minute video introduction to The Annual Christmas Challenge, if you like.
- Look at the plan (link below) and the steps you'll be following from September 1 - November 30 (or, better yet, Thanksgiving). These steps in the checklist will help you spread out both the cost of your gifts and also the time spent "shopping." The checklist and some additional resources and helps are on the first two pages of The Christmas Challenge Worksheet.
- Peruse pages 4-9 to see a lot of unique gift ideas that will be meaningful for years to come, both digital services and in print.
- Now start your Gift List on page 3.
- Go back to the checklist and begin with the first item!

And If I Have a Question?
I'm happy to help! In fact, I really love helping people gift something so fun and so meaningful and lasting!
If you have questions about ordering a Digitizing Box so you can help your parents digitize their slides or their parents' 8mm film reels, or if you'd like to make a vacation book or a puzzle or ornament and want to know what that looks like, or you'd like to let someone stop making monthly payments for cloud photo and video storage (and get *private* cloud storage, to boot), I'm here to help!
You can ask your questions in the comments of this blog post, or contact me here.
These are truly amazing and even life-changing gifts, so get ready to start September 1. Or today!

It's a good idea to get people to start thinking of Christmas gifts early; before it becomes crazy busy in November!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Amy! That's exactly what I think. :) It's more fun when you do it early, too, because you're not stressed or under a time crunch.
