What About Cashmere for this Christmas 2015?

It’s that period of the year when you realize Christmas is closer and closer. Although it’s late October the moment I’m writing this post, it’s never too early to think of Christmas for a moment.

Yes, I must confess that I’m thinking on Christmas even in October because for me, it’s the greatest day of the Year with your loved ones.

And this year, I have some good ideas for presents, like every year, but certainly more impressions are going to cashmere this one.

Cashmere is beautiful, natural material having fantastic softness and warmth, and there are outstanding products of cashmere in the market like sweaters, cardigans, hats, gloves, scarves and other accessories.

The truth is that 100% cashmere is more expensive than other wool because of its production process and the quality of the fiber.

Cashmere is soft and adds luxury appearances. If you really think to buy quality cashmere, then money shouldn’t be your problem because pure cashmere sweater for example, costs more than $150.

There are many sites and brands out there. I came around one site that features 100% cashmere clothing – Cashmere Mania. That lead me to the brands they promote like Cashmere Boutique,Williams Cashmere, Kinross Cashmere, Oxfords Cashmere, Scotland Shop, Christopher Fischer, Scottish Wear and others.

All these cashmere brands are selling cashmere clothing, and I’m about to think which pieces should I buy for my sister and mother.

Here are my picks.

2 Ply Cashmere Robe for my mother

 

She’s middle aged woman and this cashmere robe will be welcomed for her. I know she loves robes, but she haven’t cashmere one, so my present is the right choice I think.

It’s 50" Length and made of 100% cashmere. I can chose from 4 colors, so I’m picking the cream robe.

Here are more details for this cashmere robe for ladies.

Cashmere touch screen gloves for my sister

She’s 20 and younger than me, and Kate will certainly love these touch screen gloves made of 95% cashmere and 5% conductive yarn.

She’s also in love with technology so this may be the best present for her as touchscreen gloves will allow her to use her smartphone while not freezing here fingers.

While there are many types of gloves made by cashmere, I want to give touchscreen to my sister and I know she’ll be very happy.

What about you? Are you thinking on Xmas yet? If yes, do you have any picks for your loved ones?

Have fun in the early Christmas shopping

It seems too early to start with the Christmas shopping, but believe me - it is not. You will now have greater choice in terms of different types of goods, and the goods will be able to buy at the pre-holiday discounts...

Festive crowds in the stores, expensive goods and spending money on credit cards is all that's left of the magic of shopping Christmas gifts. It seems that today no one enjoys buying Christmas gifts but only additionally lose their nerves.
But why should this year be so? This year, start your Christmas shopping early, and now and avoid pulling your hair while standing kilometer in line for the cash register with too expensive gift in your hands that you do not like it, but you have to buy because you have no choice or time.
Why not now visit the store now and find the little things that you like, select them and bought in peace? Or better yet, why don’t you choose gifts and purchase over the internet, which means it will be delivered to your doorstep. In addition, there are great possibilities that these gifts will be cheaper than the same or similar items that you find in the stores and what is perhaps more important than the money, you will save precious time and nerves.
 However, I repeat once more, it is the right time to start shopping NOW! Here, our suggestions on how to better organize!

Planned purchase

Might appear to you that it is too early to start with the shopping, but believe me - it is not. In fact, not only do you now have even more choice in terms of different types of goods and items, but you will be able to buy goods at the pre-holiday discounts organized by the trade chains or catch the start of the holiday discounts. Take advantage of them! However, what is most important is to have a plan before going in early holiday shopping, because uncontrolled shopping often turns to be a bad choice. So what to do?

• Make a list of people to whom you need to buy gifts. Some people buy gifts only for family members and close friends, others present to much wider circle like their workmates, hairdresser, masseuse, beautician, personal banker...
• Decide how much money you are willing to spend in general, and then to a specific person. If necessary, divide people into groups, for sure my husband and kids will be a priority instead of a hairdresser or a colleague from work.
• Well listen to what you tell your family members and friends, you may accidentally give an idea for a gift. If you are buying with close members of the family, do the brainstorming and write down ideas as they do not forget. It does not hurt to have a few options open, so that in the end choose the one best for you and for the person to whom you give it.
• With the purchase of gifts, immediately buy wrapping paper, ribbons and other items that will be needed for wrapping gifts. You can visit AEC paper website for this need.
• Make a shopping plan. What places and shops you will visit, and how much time will be spent on the purchase. For example, I spend two hours each week for buying gifts, and all the gifts need to be collected by 15th of December. Remember, you have the time, which is really a good feeling. 

Shopping in pajamas 

While some enjoy at glitter shops full of Christmas decorations, smells and sounds, and before purchasing want to feel and touch what they are buying, others are happy that their Christmas shopping can be done dressed in pajamas. Shopping the Internet in recent years has become part of the consumer culture, and if you buy at trusted web sites and through trusted payment system, it is relatively safe.
What can definitely be the biggest stumbling block is that the shipment takes some time, which means that you can order a gift a few days before the holiday season and expect to arrive on time.
With online shopping for Christmas, you should begin at least a month before Christmas, because otherwise you will be forced to pay expensive express delivery.
Here are several popular Christmas Gift Shops that attracts visitors with unique and quality gifts:

• The Christmas Magazine
• John Lewis
• Not on the high street
• Lake Land

What is so attractive to internet shopping?

1. Choice - when buying on the internet, the world is your basket.
2. Prices - with just a few mouse clicks, you can check the prices of the same product in several different places, and buy where it is cheaper. This usually means that the cost of shipment will be the most expensive gift.
3. Time - you don't have to plan a special time when go to shopping. You can buy online in every moment at home, even at work.
4. At the time - perhaps the most interesting thing is that this way of shopping is perfect for people who opt for early Christmas shopping. Specifically, it is advisable to carry out at least three weeks before Christmas.

 If you really decided this year to spend a minimum amount of money for Christmas gifts, and your list of people to present a gift is too long, one of the best ways is using the internet.  Once you know what kind of gift will work for your family members, and buy or acquire the necessary materials, you need to organize your time so that you have sufficient time to prepare. Do not wait until the last minute, start early enough. The same goes for wrapping gifts.Wrap gifts as you buy them.
