Designer Kelly Edwards reveals some helpful tips for staying sane this holiday season - without spending a fortune!
Holiday Survival Guide
Looking to stay sane this holiday?  Designer Kelly Edwards reveals some helpful tips to help you relax and enjoy the spirit of the season.

TIP #1: Hate wrapping all of those presents? Host a present wrapping party where each guest brings a roll of paper and a designated number of presents to wrap.  The group shares the various rolls of paper, so everyone gets a variety of looks without having to pay for multiple rolls and your presents get wrapped.  Best of all, it's a great excuse to visit with friends and relieve some stress during the busy holiday season.

TIP #2: When shopping, be on the lookout for unique boxes that can double as wrapping for a gift.  Not only will the recipient enjoy the gift, but they can repurpose the box any number of ways.  It's 2 gifts in 1!

TIP #3: One of the best things you can do to prevent stress during the holidays is to plan ahead! Before you begin your holiday shopping, determine how much your want to spend and create a plan for paying down those purchases. Chase has recently introduced a unique set of four features called Blueprint that’s integrated into your card. Blueprint lets you manage your finances on your terms. And, the good news, it is easy to set up and Blueprint is free. Go to Chase.com/Blueprint to learn more about how Blueprint gives you the ability to manage your finances both during and after the holidays!
