December is my favourite month of the year, and it doesn’t take a genius to guess why. It’s the Sunday equivalent of the calendar year, and every day seems jacked up with anticipation for Christmas. Guilt trips over failed resolutions are postponed – “I’ll just start over in Jan” -, there’s tons of awesome food – “Commencing diet after New Year’s Eve” and all the people you meet look years younger with their usual load off their shoulders.
What I don’t love? Christmas shopping. As a child, there’s this frisson when I head out with a carefully written list of gifts and try my hardest to get everything with a good stretch of my piggybank savings.
Now? It’s just a mad rush of remembering names, dashing around the shops, grabbing hand creams and gift boxes from other harried shoppers then waiting hours in the cab stand before discovering you’ve left someone out. And yes, this is always done on the day before Christmas Eve. This annual ritual not only blows a hole in your wallet – I feel like I’ve aged centuries every time I do this. (FYI, telling yourself you’ll start early this year never works. Fact.)
Here’s how you can skip that drat thing this year. Homegrown tea brand TWG Tea is celebrating their 5th anniversary with the launch of a mobile app where you can get any of their loose leaf teas, Christmas packs and gifts for your loved ones.
With the overwhelming variety of tea and blends at TWG, it’s easy to get lost sometimes. Search by tea type, origin, or even for all occasions. We are loving the blends made especially for Christmas!
