How to stick to your holiday shopping budget
When it comes to holiday shopping, it can be all too easy to overspend. But with a few simple tips, you can stick to your budget and still find the perfect gifts for your loved ones. 

First, make a list of everyone you need to buy for, along with how much you want to spend on each person. This will help you stay focused when you’re out shopping. 

Next, try to do as much of your shopping as possible online. Not only is it more convenient, but you’ll also be less likely to impulse buy when you’re not standing in front of the item. 

Finally, if you do find yourself going over budget on a few items, don’t beat yourself up about it. Just remember to cut back in other areas so that you don’t end up spending more than you can afford.

How to find the best deals on holiday gifts
The best way to find deals on holiday gifts is to start shopping early. By starting your shopping early, you’ll be able to take advantage of sales and discounts that occur throughout the holiday season. You should also look out for Black Friday deals, as these are typically the best why to find discounts on holiday gifts. 

Additionally, be sure to sign up for newsletters from your favorite retailers. This way, you’ll be among the first to know about any special deals or promotions that they’re offering.

Tips for stress-free holiday shopping
The holiday season is a time of joy, but it can also be a time of stress – especially when it comes to shopping. If you’re not careful, the holiday shopping season can quickly become overwhelming and leave you feeling frazzled. 

Don’t wait until the last minute to start your holiday shopping. This will only increase your chances of feeling overwhelmed and stressed out. Instead, start your shopping early so that you can take your time and avoid the crowds. Before you start shopping, set a budget to avoid the stress of overspending.

Shopping can be exhausting, so make sure to take breaks throughout the day. Grab a coffee or a bite to eat, or just step away from the crowds for a few minutes to clear your head.

The holidays are a time when people can get caught up in the spending trap.

A survey carried out by Megafon for TV2 has found that 71 percent of parents have handed over children to daycare in spite of them being sick.

Moreover, 21 percent of those surveyed admitted to medicating their kids with paracetamol, such as Panodil, before sending them to school.

The FOLA parents’ organisation is shocked by the findings.

“I think it is absolutely crazy. It simply cannot be that a child goes to school sick and plays with lots of other children. Then we are faced with the fact that they will infect the whole institution,” said FOLA chair Signe Nielsen.

Pill pushers
At the Børnehuset daycare institution in Silkeborg a meeting was called where parents were implored not to bring their sick children to school.

At Børnehuset there are fears that parents prefer to pack their kids off with a pill without informing teachers.

“We occasionally have children who that they have had a pill for breakfast,” said headteacher Susanne Bødker. “You might think that it is a Panodil more than a vitamin pill, if it is a child who has just been sick, for example.”

Parents sick and tired
Parents, when confronted, often cite pressure at work as a reason for not being able to stay at home with their children.

Many declare that they simply cannot take another day off, as they are afraid of being fired.

Allan Randrup Thomsen, a professor of virology at KU, has heavily criticised the parents’ actions, describing the current situation as a “vicious circle”.

“It promotes the spread of viruses, and it adds momentum to a cycle where parents are pressured by high levels of sick-leave. If they then choose to send the children to daycare while they are still recovering, they keep the epidemic going in daycares, and this in turn puts a greater burden on the parents.”
