Present for Joe’s godson, Arthur, who we never see and who lives in Canada so will need to post early.
Check international posting dates.
Oh dear – ask Joe to call Arthur and let him know that a gift will be with him in the new year.
Presents for people at work? Individual or generic? Budget? Ask Malia about last year. Secret Santa?
Remind Joe to get presents for his admin team.
Easier to buy presents for Joe’s admin team myself.
Wrapping paper (sustainable and recyclable – never sure if the regular stuff can go in the green bin or not?) Might be easiest just to use plain brown paper and decorate it myself with fun festive motifs? But also, seecolossal list of jobs. Buy basic rolls in multipack and hope for the best.
Christmas cards – are we sending? How to set up e-greeting? Is e-greeting a bit lame? Nice to get cards from friends, and also older people like getting cards. Buy ones with percentage of profits going to charity – also make sure they’re not shit ones.
Check posting dates – allow time to write and sort addresses.
Set up spreadsheet on computer with everyone’s addresses rather than relying on the address book I was given by Great Aunt Muriel when I was fourteen.
