Happy Holidays, already?

If you are anything like me the Halloween pumpkins are still on the front porch, so the winter holidays seem a long way off. But somehow every year they creep up on me and I find myself in a frantic cyclone of cards, wrapping paper, and postage stamps. Each fall I vow that I’ll start preparing earlier so I’ll have the time to enjoy what’s really important, which is spending time with family and friends.

This year we have a holiday page dedicated to helping you get it all done, spend less money, and create meaningful cards and gifts at home. In this year’s economic conditions, holiday spending will be a priority for a lot of people. Be careful not to overspend by using our holiday budget planner.

You can also save money creating personalized handmade gifts, cards, and photo albums. Every year I like to make photo calendars for my family that include pictures of things we’ve done together over the course of the previous year. These calendars are inexpensive, easy to make, and a great way to capture family memories.

When all your gifts are ready to wrap, here are three ways to enhance your packages. Then use Outlook to ship your gifts with FedEx QuickShip. With FedEx QuickShip, you can create and track U.S. shipments, get rates, schedule pickups, and find the nearest staffed FedEx location all from your home!

Now kick back and enjoy the holiday season!
