Preparing for a Happy Holiday season, the sorted way

The holiday season is a time for joy, family, and celebration, but let’s face it—preparing for it can also be overwhelming. Here are some tips and tricks for setting yourself up for a very happy holiday, the Sorted way! As a treat, each section title links to a Christmas song to get you in the mood, cause it’s never too early! 🎄🎁🎅🏼

Cozy little christmas 🎶

SHOPPING: Have you ever had a great idea for the perfect Christmas present for a loved one in February? When the hustle and bustle of shopping sinks in, who can remember that brilliant idea? Save yourself the stress and make a digital reminder either in your phone’s notes app, or start a wishlist in your favorite online store (as long as you don’t share your login with your gift’s intended recipient). Sign up to get store’s email notifications so you can keep your eyes open for sales, start shopping early to find the best deals, and stick to your budget.

Merry christmas 🎶

HOLIDAY CARDS: Preparation is key. Claim your day in your favorite photographer’s calendar and prepare your family’s look in advance. While waiting on the pictures, prepare your card design and text in your favorite online printer, and be sure your mailing list is up to date. When paying your photographer, just like the dentist, go ahead and book your session for next year. Your future self will thank you.

GIFT WRAPPING: After scoring the perfect present, don’t skimp on the presentation. Leave the gift wrapping to the professionals at Sorted and enjoy the beautifully wrapped boxes underneath your tree. We can use your own wrapping paper and supplies, or you can select from our wrapping paper options to complete your gifts with a personalized touch that makes them even more special.

OUTING: Plan a holiday experience to cherish the time together as a family. We enjoy Celebration in the Oaks at City Park, NOLA Christmasfest or the Roosevelt Hotel lobby. As it’s the most wonderful time of the year, it’s also the busiest. Be sure to get this scheduled in advance before tickets sell out and your family’s calendar fills up.

SEASONAL STORAGE: Picture this, you’re enjoying your favorite holiday playlist and pull out your Christmas tree decorations only to find that the pre-lit tree is half burnt out, no replacement bulbs to be found, and old string lights and garland have merged into a tangled mess. Call Sorted to help and skip the stress of set up so you can enjoy your decorations!

Once the celebrations are over, we’ll take care of the clean-up too! Our team will carefully dismantle your decorations and pack them away, so you can relax and enjoy the holiday spirit without the post-holiday blues. Sorted’s take down and seasonal storage service will organize and store your decorations in a way that makes them easy to access for next year. Our team will categorize items and clearly label containers, so when the holidays roll around again, you’ll be ready to go without the hassle.
