Smart gifting for Christmas - tips and ideas

Do you have a few more people on your gift giving list? I’ve got some SMART gifting ideas for you before you head out into the stores. I’ve teamed up once again with HomeGoods/TJMaxx for some gift giving solutions and I think you’ll like this.

I pride myself on being one of the “pioneer” shoppers of the TJMaxx stores. I used to shop there in the early 90’s {yes…the 1900’s. LOL} and when people asked me where I got something and I told them, they were like, “huh?” Well, now EVERYone shops there as well as HomeGoods and Marshall’s, and they’re three of my favorite places to this day. I love the relevancy of their merchandise selection, the prices, and the thrill of the hunt. You never know what you’ll find but you know it will be fabulous!

I participated in their #BringBackHolidays gifting challenge and thought about a gift for my sister-in-law who also loves to entertain occasionally. Here’s what I came up with plus tips for smart gifting that will stretch your budget.

While shopping at HomeGoods I found a boxed set of these four champagne glasses. They’re gorgeous and right on trend, the price was less than $15 for the 4.

On a separate outing at TJMaxx I came across this fantastic set of 12 black and gold-foiled coasters that coordinated perfectly with the glass set. I knew the combination would make for a really great gift idea, and the coasters were only around $6. FYI, the coaster set includes 4 different phrases on the front, with 4 different patterns on the back {3 of each}.

I had a black and gold box that reflects the gift inside and wrapped it with a gold ribbon and monogram ornament.

Inside the box is filled with paper filler, the coaster boxed set, and a couple of the glasses nestled inside. The perfect gift for two!

TIP: If something as beautiful as these glasses comes in a box, remove them  from the box and package them in a pretty presentation like this.

Now, here’s where the gifting gets smart. These items are great for dividing and getting multiple gifts from them.

Smart Gifting

  • Give 2 glasses + coaster set, or
  • Host a girls gathering and give 1 glass to each friend, or
  • Give 2 glasses + 6 coasters to each of two recipients, or
  • Give the entire set of both items to one person.

What do you think about these smart gifting ideas? Merry Christmas!

  1. Great idea. Thanks for sharing these great buys found at TJMaxx’s. I like the idea of dividing the coasters and presenting gifts to 2 different couples/families.
