Our Christmas Shopping Challenge is Coming for 2024

Our Christmas shopping challenge is coming for 2024 and it will help you check off your list earlier than ever!

Our Christmas Shopping Challenge was so popular last year, that we’re bringing it back! 🎉

Soon we’ll be sharing the best gift ideas for everyone you need to shop for this 2024 season. We’ll be sharing a new gift guide every week for the next few months so you can check off your entire list before the holiday craziness.

Okay, okay…we know summer basically just got started, but we believe it’s never too early to score great gifts at great prices so we’re here to help YOU! Plus, many of our Hip shoppers said they begin their holiday shopping during summer to help lessen the load come winter and it makes them feel like they didn’t break the bank when gifts are purchased over a longer period of time.

Even better, for the past few years, many major retailers like Target, Walmart, and Amazon have hosted some of their biggest sales during summer and fall, giving us all a reason to start shopping early. 🙌🏼

All of that said…this year is going to be EPIC!

Here’s a peak at some of last year’s gift guides and what you can expect this year:

Babies
Boyfriends
Couples
Coworkers
Grandparents
Husbands
Parents
Screen-free ideas
Stocking Stuffers
Teachers
Teens
Tweens

Don’t see someone you’re shopping for?…

We want to hear from YOU this year!

If there’s someone on your list who’s always hard to shop for or a specific gift guide you’re hoping to see, let us know in the comments below!

Our team will be working hard this year to make your holiday shopping experience easier than ever!

Here are a few tips for our Christmas Gift Challenge…

Create an overall budget. This will help you stay on track and stay within your means.
Make a list. Know who you’re shopping for and group them by priority.
Decide on a budget per person. Designate a specific budget for each person and how many gifts you plan to buy for them.

Here’s how to minimize your shopping this year.

This is the year you can consider starting the 4 Gift Rule if you’re looking to simplify your shopping list. This method of gift-giving makes each gift more meaningful and intentional. Say goodbye to frivolous shopping in 2024!

We also favor vacation experience gifts. While tangible items are always nice, the memories from something you can do can never be replaced and will last a lifetime. While this may not be for everyone, it’s surely something to get you thinking before the holiday season is here.
