Is your goal to have all of your Christmas shopping done by a certain date? Maybe you are wanting to have things purchased, wrapped and ready to deliver by the time you have your family reunion on Thanksgiving Day. No matter the date, do you know what you want to buy already? Maybe this is the year that you want to give personalized Christmas presents to everybody on your list. If so, from shopping for motivational apparel to designing your own pillow cases, here are some ideas that might help you:

Shop For Motivational Apparel - Have you thought about buying people on your Christmas list motivational apparel? You could shop for motivational apparel like T-shirts and hoodies, as they would be perfect for every gift recipient. Not only are they popular gift items, but they are also very affordable. Select motivational apparel in different colors and in every size you'll need for those on your list. 

If you have teenagers on your Christmas list, look for motivational apparel that inspires them to be successful. One ideas is to select a T-shirt that says words like, You Can Do Hard Things or Be Even Better Than Your Best. Maybe you and your best friend are always wanting to stay fit. A motivational T-shirt for that friend might say something like, Be Happy And Be Healthy on the front of it.

Warm hoodies are another way to give motivational  apparel. In fact, you could pair a T-shirt with a hoodie and have a motivational message on each item. For instance, the T-shirt might have words that say something like, Aim High In 2020 while the hoodie's message might say, I Can Do it!

​Add Messages On Pillow Cases - Think of adding your own design to pillow cases you buy in a store. For instance, using permanent markers in different colors, you might simply write the words, Sleep Tight! on a plain white pillow case. You could even use words from songs to inspire you. For example, borrow words from the traditional Christmas carol, Silent Night. The words, ​Sleep In Heavenly Peace would be perfect for anybody on your Christmas list.

If you do decide to give pillow cases that you design yourself, think of buying a comfy pillow to go with them. Or, be clever by using the pillow case as your gift wrap and put a motivational T-shirt or hoodie inside the pillow case to plump it up. The tie it with a big red ribbon and your gift is ready to be delivered.
