Snow has fallen, the temperature has dropped and even for some of us (shh…we’re guilty) the holiday decor has already been put up. If you’re starting to feel the craziness of the holiday season sink in, have no fear, we are here to send you a lifeline! In our mantra of doing what we do best and outsourcing the rest, we have put together our favourite festive go-to’s.

The Basics

Meal Prep

There is nothing better than spending the holiday season around the dinner table with your loved ones. But, the thought of making an elaborate, celebratory meal can bring a lot of stress and preparation in advance. Ditch the excess worrying this season and hire a meal prep service. Red Apron has announced its holiday menu for 2019 and it does not disappoint. Get the Turkey Dinner with all the fixings delivered right to your door! Supperworks has some great options for lower-fuss holiday dinners too.

Gift Wrapping

Gift-wrapping is a talent, but for a lot of people, this can be the biggest struggle of the gift-giving process. Hazeltons in Toronto hold their gift-wrapping to the highest standard, promising to give everything an elegant feel. You can have faith that your gift will be received with all the thought and emotion you put into choosing it. Each gift wrapping service even comes with a personalized card!

Shopping

This next service promises to be the end of gift anxiety! Have you ever thought of the perfect gift for someone, then forgot to write it down and can’t remember it when it comes time to do your shopping? Giftster is a free online gift registry where you can create your own lists to store your best ideas! You can also create group lists and embed links on where to purchase gifts online! (Cause we all know it’s better to order from the comfort of your couch than navigate the craziness of a mall during December!) We also love the Giftagram app for creative hassle-free gift giving.
