It’s October, which signals the start of the year’s busiest season. From Halloween to New Year’s toasts, while we can all agree that the holidays are a joyful time to spend with family and friends, most people would also agree on how stressful and overwhelming the upcoming months can be. Planning dinner parties, holiday events for home or work, and travel and making time for shopping are just a few of the many to-dos that come along with the season. With an already busy schedule, you might wonder how to make it all work without losing the enjoyment of the holiday season.

Have you seen that person who has it all together? They throw the best holiday parties while looking carefree and having fun themselves. They have all of their shopping done by the end of November, and their gifts are perfectly wrapped under the tree the first week of December. You know their work and social event schedule is just as hectic as yours, yet you may barely have gotten your shopping list together by the first of December. 

Perhaps they have a magic wand, or maybe, they have acquired the assistance of a personal concierge for the holidays. Now, early in the fall season, is the time to jump-start on all things holidays, so you can focus on making memories instead of managing tasks. 

 A personal concierge for the holidays can help lighten your load.

Here are some tasks Carver Concierge can help you with this holiday season, so you can lighten your load and enjoy the spirit of the season.

• Holiday decor- Kick off the season by getting your home holiday-ready. Decorating can be a chore, so let the weight of stringing up those lights, designing the perfect tree or tablescape, or creating a picture-worthy porch fall on our shoulders. 
• Holiday cards- Writing cards can be very time-consuming; however, you want to let your loved ones and esteemed clients near and far know that you are thinking of them. So we’ll help you organize your list and take care of the rest.

We can put all the details together so you can enjoy your party.

• Travel- Perhaps you aren’t playing holiday host this year, and while not hosting can be a relief, you may need to make travel plans. Let us handle every travel detail so you can sit back, relax, and enjoy the trip.
• House and Pet Sitting- If your holiday plans include travel, your personal concierge can collect your mail, oversee any home services, and perform home checks to give you peace of mind, Through our preferred partners, we will also coordinate any pet sitting services, so your pets receive lots of love and attention.
