There are a lot of gifts that you can buy for your loved ones for this upcoming Christmas — you can buy a box of chocolates, you could buy candles or even a nice gift card. All of these are lovely ideas, but these gifts are temporary — the chocolates will get eaten, the candle will melt and the money on the gift card will be spent on something else. Instead of getting the people you care about gifts that will only last for a short while, give them a beautiful collection of photos — this will be a meaningful present that will last a lifetime.

There are a few Christmas traditions from my own childhood that I’m eager to continue with my own children.  One of these is baking mince pies.  I can recall standing in the kitchen throughout the run-up to Christmas making batches of mince pies.  At times it seemed that we would never make enough as they seemed to disappear as soon as they came out of the oven.

When it comes to arranging the presents that my children, family, and friends are going find underneath the Christmas Tree.  I like to start the probing a little early.  This is for many reasons, firstly, so I can kid myself into thinking that this year I am going to be organised.  Head into December with that smugness that comes with not only purchasing Christmas gifts ahead of time but also having them wrapped up too.  Secondly, a chance to rejig the families budget in order to accommodate the presents on the wish lists. And finally, because I struggle with some people whom I buy gifts for so I need to start gaining ideas as soon as possible in the hope I will hit the nail on the head with the perfect present.
