6. A CLUCKIN’ GOOD CHRISTMAS – What’s Christmas without a turkey or ham? If you’re a Christmas foodie at heart, chat to the friendly butchers at Woolworths to order your Christmas meat, and get our pick of Christmas Ham Glaze recipes in our latest newsletter here.

7. FESTIVE NAILS – Forget festive sweaters, it’s all about festive nails. Pop in to Crystal Nails & Beauty or Oz Nails and have a look at their nail art selection. Tis’ the season to be jolly after all!

8. STOCK UP ON STOCKINGS – Whether it’s a traditional Christmas stocking, a giant Santa sack or chocolate-filled stocking, our local retailers can help! Check out Homebase, Wrapped Wonders, Kmart and Big
W and you might even find some good stocking fillers.

9. HAIR AND BEAUTY – With all the things you have to do in the lead up to Christmas, your beauty routine can be left behind! Whether it’s a haircut, waxing or tanning, be sure to make your appointments with Hairhouse Warehouse, Clear Complexions, Laser Clinics Australia and Gloww Beauty so you don’t miss out! For last minute decisions check out Just Cuts and Priceline—no appointment required.

10. ENTERTAINING WITH EASE – Several Christmas parties in the diary but not several hours to prepare food? We suggest a Woolworths platter. Antipasti, seafood, shaved meat and plenty of other crowd pleasers.

11. SUMMER HOLIDAY FUN – Planning a last minute trip? See the team at Escape Travel or Flight Centre. They won’t just advise you on the best places to visit at this time of year, they’ll book it all for you.
