Time-Saving Holiday Hacks To Make Life A Little Easier

That’s why we’re here to give you some time-saving (and life-saving) hacks to make this holiday season a little less stressful and a bit more enjoyable!

It’s the perfect solution to keep everything organized and in your control!

Now you won’t have to worry about huge crowds and craziness – you can purchase gifts right from the comfort of your home!

To make things more entertaining, use any leftover pumpkins and turn them into snowmen! It’s simple fun for the whole family and also an eco-friendly way to be creative this December.

Baked goods like pies, dough-based desserts, and cookies follow the same method. Have fun chatting and baking with your closest friends and family!

You can even use it as a storage space for various items that you won’t need so you can save the precious fridge real estate for drinks or party food necessities.

This tape is also handy if you need some quick air conditioning repair, just simply undo the bows, and voila!

Not only is it easy to make, but you can customize it, as well. You can make a different version every year with craft-sized versions of Christmas trees, menorahs, or whatever your mind creates.

Buy a laser projector and create a creative design without all the extra hassle! Plus, you won’t risk potentially getting injured by falling off the ladder.

FYI – ribbon rolls stay in place when you keep them secure on a paper towel holder!

So, the safest and easiest way to complete this mission is to get a slice of sandwich bread, pick up the pieces of glass, and put it in the trash. Easy peasy!

The best part is you don’t have to be slaving away in the kitchen while everybody else is having a blast. When dinner is over, make a batch of hot cocoa or mulled wine to keep the holiday spirits intact.

Make sure you check for fine print like blackout dates and have your phone handy to show the sales clerk!

Having your tree delivered to your home will not only save time and money but also energy. Regardless of how you get your tree this holiday season, you can make it look beautiful.

Holidays are all about spending quality time with loved ones. Remind yourself that you don’t need to do everything and prioritizing your time will make you less stressed! 

First, lay a rectangle sheet of tissue paper flat on a surface. Then, place one hand underneath it, and and the other pinching the center. After that, lift the tissue paper to ensure the edges are pointed down, and do a slight swirling motion in the air up and down (kind of like a magician). This way, you will make a bouquet of even points. Lastly, with the base still in one hand, fix each point and place the base in the gift bag. 

Start by creating two event loops of ribbon in each hand, cross the right loop over the left, fold the right loop behind the left, and put it through the hole. Next, adjust to make the two ends of the bow even. Then, cut the ends into a V-shape by folding them in half and cutting at an angle from the open end in toward the end that’s folded.

Gather empty egg crates to store them in! While it may not seem like it, egg crates really do make a difference during the holiday season.

Put holiday lights on a timer, or even use a smart plug and connect them to a smart home device. Now, you can easily monitor the lights from afar without the hassle of getting up every time.

Not only will you save money on buying wrapping paper for other occasions, but it’s also the perfect task to do while mindlessly binge-watching Netflix!

Order flat-rate USPS boxes to be delivered right to your front door – this is really helpful if you’re sending out many gifts in one go. 

Yes, those chunky knits, plaids, or glitter scarves can serve as makeshift runners under evergreens, candles, and a table centerpiece made of pinecones. This fun hack is not only creative but it will save you time and money!

All you need to do is place a bag under your tree stand before setting the tree up. This will make the process easier once you need to take your tree to the curb.

Gold, silver, and red are obvious choices, but you can also think outside of the box, too. Even a hot pink would be aesthetically pleasing and unique!

Buy a pack of drawstring gift bags and pack them with the necessary essentials. Lotion, hand sanitizer, and whatever else comes to mind.

Fill a bucket with ice halfway and toss in salt to cover it. Then, simply put the bottle in and add water so it’s submerged up to its neck. Within 10 minutes, it will be chilled and ready to serve.

Then, place it at the center of thick wrapping paper. Gather the paper a few inches above the top of the gift, and, lastly, secure it with ribbon.

Matte sheets are amazing and will forgive any imperfections. You can also buy or recycle square gift boxes to use as an easy square canvas. Don’t worry, you’ve got this! 

Don’t sweat about adding anything other than water so your tree stays hydrated. After all, it doesn’t have a strict nighttime routine!

Fill half of the stocking with plastic or reusable bags to give it the appearance of looking full before the big day arrives.
