Do you have a gift closet. I do. I purchase gifts throughout the year when I see good sales or free shipping, or extra cashback from SR. I stock up for those just in case times that arise, like someones birthday party I didn't anticipate, or a wedding or graduation or housewarming party. I like being able to go to my closet and pick something out.
The Christmas in July sale is the perfect time to stock up on those items. Like All Things Trendy, some perfect teacher gifts, or Taylor Gifts, check out the clearance section too, tons of fun stuff. Everyone needs a gift closet, but don't forget that you have stuff in it, like I do sometimes. I've given the kids Easter gifts in the middle of summer that I forgot I had.
