Giving Back This Christmas

The Holidays are all about giving back to those less fortunate. Here at Dress Haute, giving back to our community is very important to us. This year has been a difficult year for all of us and we wanted to do something special for those who are struggling during the holidays.

We have partnered up with Holiday Project this holiday season! Holiday Project is a fundraiser for the Allegheny County Department of Human Services. This project provides meaningful gifts to children in families who need support. Children that receive these gifts can range from newborn to young adults. There are many children out there who are in need of extra love and kindness during this time!

You can now adopt one of our angles to start spreading love this Christmas! Dress Haute is working as a drop off location where you can send a gift to one of our angels. If you are looking to make a difference this year, please join us in our mission of spreading love and joy.

For more information stop by our shop! If you are able to stop by and want to help, give us a call at (412)-398-7662. We would love to answer any questions you may have.

How to Deal with Holiday Stress

It’s officially the holiday season! All though this season is might to spread love and cheer, we understand that it can be quite stressful. With all the shopping, gift-giving, and holiday activities, it’s not uncommon to feel overwhelmed. To help relieve some of that stress, we came up with a list of 5 important tips for the holidays. Keep reading to check them out! 

1. Do less, enjoy more 

The holiday season can become extremely busy. You may be trying to jungle work, family, and even school all while trying to prepare for the holidays. Remember to take some time to yourself. Instead of going overboard to please your loved ones, make a note to slow down and enjoy those little moments. 

2. Forget perfection 

Everyone has felt the pressure of finding the perfect gift or hosting the perfect party. Don’t stress about doing it all, this can make the holiday season so much enjoyable. If you can’t find that perfect plate set or wrapping paper, pick something else. The small details do not define “the perfect” Thanksgiving or Christmas. 

3. Don’t overschedule 

We all want to make time to see every friend or family member during the holidays. This can become overwhelming as you can over schedule by squeezing everything in. Don’t spread yourself too thin. If you can’t make it to a friend’s holiday party because of other obligations, pick a time after the holidays to catch up.  

4. Try new traditions 

Family traditions are a huge part of the holiday season. It may be a special cookie recipe your grandma used to make, or a fun game everyone plays after dinner. Sometimes it can be hard to get certain family traditions right. If you are feeling pressure to make sure everything is perfect, try starting a new tradition to relive stress and have fun. 

5. Laugh! 

Overall, the holiday season is meant to enjoy time with family and friends. It brings a sense of togetherness, making us free loved and grateful. Make sure you soak in every moment, always laughing and being present.
