Your shopping is well and truly underway, and your décor is planned and in-hand, but there are still quite a few things to get on top of before you hit peak Christmas season.

Season’s greetings
It’s time to embody your inner Emily Bronte and start writing your Christmas cards! With Australia Post delivery times getting longer and longer the closer we get to the big day, it’s ideal to get in early and post your seasonal correspondence before December if you can. Need to stock up on your writing supplies? Target, Kmart and Lal's Xtra News all have an amazing range of festive stationary for you to choose from.
Pack that pantry
While your fresh produce will have to wait until the week or a few days before, you can get some of your festive food shopping organised early. Stock up on dry ingredients, nibbles, crackers, snacks, and sweets as well as pickled vegetables and anything canned. Don’t forget to pick up everything you need for the ultimate grazing platter a la Miguel Maestre!
