Holiday Gift Giving - Professional Organizers Blog Carnival

This time of year is stressful for a lot of people, so I asked my readers to share their blog posts about holiday gift giving. It looks like everyone’s already getting into the holiday spirit, because this is one of our biggest Carnivals ever! Much appreciation to Wrap iT for sponsoring this edition of the Professional Organizers Blog Carnival.

 

I’m pleased to introduce three first-time participants:

Katherine Korlacki – Gift Guilt

Hilda Rodgers – Christmas Gifts in a Jar

I’m also excited to announce that Hazel Thornton is now a Superstar Blogger, with her post Wish List Etiquette!

Please get to know Katherine, Hilda and Hazel by reading their posts, leaving comments, and/or connecting with them on social media.

But don’t go away yet, because there’s plenty more here to help you and your clients organize your holiday gift giving! In fact, you’ll probably want to bookmark or pin this post in case you don’t get through it all in one sitting.

A former professional organizer, I now eliminate stress for my clients by hosting, monitoring, and maintaining their WordPress sites so they don’t have to worry about security, downtime or performance issues. When I’m away from my desk, I enjoy reading, photography, watching movies, and cooking.
