You are free from work, gets a lot of quality time with family, catching up with friends and spilling teas, doing things that you enjoy or embracing the silence that has come with settling of chaos. With holidays comes the inevitable tradition of gifting. Your wallet might not agree with your moral compulsion to purchase gifts for all your family and friends. This often causes the anxiety related to gifting in holiday seasons called âthe holiday gift anxietyâ. The holiday gift anxiety arises from a number of reasons like managing the monthly expenses after purchasing gifts, would your gifts meet their expectations, are the gifts expensive enough etc. Here are a few steps to keep holiday gift anxiety at bay.
