Ah, winter. When it’s not here, we long for it but when it
is here, we can’t help moaning about it. So just like pretty much every season
in the British calendar then. But winter is a little bit different than every
other season because it brings with it Christmas festivities and all the highs
and lows they signify. So, if you’re finding yourself flagging in the cold or
overwhelmed by the burdens of December, here are a few tips on how to survive
the winter and everything it can throw at you…
Choose the Right Soundtrack
A Christmas song can make or break a mood – start playing
them too early and they can have the opposite effect, but choose an absolute
Christmas banger and it can get you through those particularly tough days and
weeks and give you something to look forward to. In fact, the same rule applies
for those classic Christmas films too. But back to the music – if you’re going
to make a Christmas playlist, make it a good one, and over on our blog we’ve
put together a list of the very best tunes as well as some Zavvi voucher codes
with 10% off if you want to compile an actual
collection with some actual
Christmas records.
Prepare Yourself for a Cold Snap
No, we’re not talking an adequate supply of thermals (also
that’s also advisable), but rather making sure you have all the provision
necessary to de-ice your car when you’re caught short and have to get somewhere
pretty darn quickly. On our winter survival blog post you’ll find Micks Garage promo codes with money off to help you stock up on your winter car care
products as well as some other tips on how to get over the worst winter has to
offer.
Get to Grips with Christmas Partywear
Is there a more trying issue at this time of year than what
to wear to your Christmas work party? Getting the balance just right can get
you on the right track for a memorable evening, but on the flip side, you could
be the talking point for all the wrong reasons. Or you could just not care what
anyone thinks! Whatever your opinion on the stresses of choosing your Christmas
partywear, we’ve got some festive Debenhams discount vouchers in our party
season blog post to help you save on perhaps one of the widest choices of
Christmas party dresses available in the UK.
Find the Right Footwear
Having wet feet at any time is an annoyance, but in the
winter you can multiply this annoyance by a million. Somehow the freezing cold
puddle water always manages to find its way in, whether that’s because there’s
a sneaky hole in your soles or you just haven’t spent the few extra pounds
required for waterproof shoes or boots. But don’t fret because in our winter
survival post this week we’ve featured Brantano discount codes with 30% off to
help you invest in some suitable footwear, so fill your boots. Or rather, don’t.
Even if you’re winter’s biggest fan, you have to admit it
throws us a few curve balls on occasion and we’re not just talking what to buy
your father-in-law for Christmas. But if you stay on top of things, you might
actually start to enjoy what winter has to offer for a change…
