Last minute… overachieving

Do Tell: Do Card: “Be an overachiever and talk about yourself.”

Possible answer: “I just really don’t understand why everyone says the holidays are so stressful. All you have to do is plan ahead. What? You’re still shopping? I buy all year long. On the first of December, I just look at the color coded boxes in my basement and start wrapping. Really, it doesn’t take very long. Then I have the time to do my baking and decorating and really enjoy myself. I don’t understand why everyone doesn’t do the same thing.”

Surely, that sounds like someone you know. Or, someone you could at least impersonate.

About this time in the holiday season, it’s hard to find a sales insert that doesn’t advertise “Last minute savings.” Those of us still shopping (which is honestly most of us) feel decidedly unlike overachievers. We look at our list of things that still need to be completed, and the panic sets in.

Yes, it is true that the “Big Day” is just over a week away, but sometimes the best gifts come together at the last minute. Inspiration hits, and holiday stress turns into excitement as you look forward to how your loved one will react to the perfect gift.

Probably the hardest person to please on your list is that overachiever. Why not surprise them this year with the gift of fun?

“Do Tell: The Relationship Game” is now available in a Family Edition. It is a fun and lighthearted way to connect with those you love, and it might be the perfect gift for that overachiever on your list. Sure, they seem like they have all the plans under control, but everyone can use a new way to connect to family and friends.

The family edition invites you to “Do” things that expose your personality and “Tell” about yourself in a safe way that will have you smiling and laughing with those you love. It doesn’t have to take very long, usually about 45 minutes. So, it’s easy to fit into your family gathering. For grandparents, who don’t see their kids or grandkids very often, it becomes a fun way to connect. It is a great way to span the generations in your own family, or build memories with other families.

If you are “last minute” shopping, you can save $5 on Do Tell through Amazon.com. Just use the code DoTell21. There’s still plenty of time to have it shipped, wrapped and under the tree early enough to even impress your favorite overachiever.
