Christmas Tips for a Happier day

• Check all electronic items for battery requirements and make sure you have the right size on hand.
• Where possible, have batteries already fitted in the item.
• Charge up devices before wrapping them.
• For Children under 14 it’s a good idea while charging items, to also set up parental controls such as a password on store purchases and age limits on apps that can be downloaded.
• Check whether anything needs to be built and have it made up ready.   Many a Christmas morning hits a snag when you have to try and find the right tools to put something together.
• Keep receipts in a safe and accessible spot for speedy returns and replacements should anything not be working..
• Plan your day to ensure there is time for the family to play together and for the kids to show you their gifts and demonstrate them to you
