You know how much I adore this time of year, there is no lack of articles on this topic and I have to admit that I’ve been lucky enough to satisfy my curiosity on numerous occasions:
Not to mention everything I post on my social media: And precisely at this time when the pleasure of giving and helping others is increased tenfold, let's talk about Christmas gifts ... “Give to receive. " L. I'm sure some of you still have some last-minute gifts to buy, so I thought sharing my experience was welcome. Certainly, I’ve already talked about it in:
Although I love luxurious and extraordinary gifts, sometimes even imaginary ones, I have the right to dream!! This time around, I'm showing you how to create Christmas magic! “Give meaning to your gifts. " L. This year, I chose to create the gifts myself, I can't say more here but I'm sure there are plenty of things you can do yourself: personalised calendars with photos, knitting a scarf, painting, cooking chocolate truffles ... Or quite simply, have a photo printed on a t-shirt, a mug, a teddy bear, there are plenty of easy-to-use websites to help you achieve them, and the ideas are endless! And if you find that it takes too long or is still too complicated, my solution: PERSONAL VOUCHERS Last year I gave my family and friends special vouchers like cooking a dish of their choice, babysitting, catsitting, organising a birthday party, a hug ... All those things that people often are too shy to ask. In short, I offered my talents and services to those around me to help them during the year. For example, my brother-in-law claimed chocolate mousse which I do very well, and my sister opted for me to decorate their Christmas tree this year (shopping included). HELP LOCAL BUSINESSES, FREELANCES, But you can also help your entrepreneur friends by buying your gifts from their businesses, or maybe some are gym teachers or coaches, offer sessions to your family & friends. Maybe they even wrote a book, and precisely speaking of that, here are 3 books that I highly recommend (only available in English for now): Stuffed by Fadela Hilali Fadela is an incredible woman, life coach, who chose to write a book to tell about a special experience in her life: her emotional connection with food and how she overcame it. Just like me with my book “My Solo Wedding in Santorini”, she knows that sharing this intimate moment can help so many people. This book is truly inspirational, offer it to someone, or better yet to yourself! Find her on her website: fadelahilali.com and on Instagram: @fadelahilali Transformed by Remi Adeleke Remi Adeleke is a character all by himself, a former Navy SEAL, who has become a writer, actor and filmmaker! I discovered this book by chance and I loved it. This is a wonderful life lesson, which shows that determination, discipline and self-confidence make you overcome adversity and realise your wildest dreams. Not to mention the energy of Remi that shines through his writing and brings you a lot of serenity and courage. And if you want an even more special gift, contact him on Instagram / Twitter (@remiadeleke) to request a signed book! Freedom is your birthright by Dr. Dravon James Okay I'll be honest here, I haven't read this book yet, I asked Santa for it, but what I can tell you is that I love Dr. Dravon James, and more specifically her Everyday Peace podcast, weekly on Unity Online Radio in the United States. Here again, her journey is incredible, pharmacist, she became an actress and now she’s a life coach. How not to be inspired? And by the way, she invited me to participate in her podcast, so stay tuned to find out more! Visit her website: drdravonjames.com
