Do these six things to have a very merry (and organised!) Christmas
In this guide we tell you what you need to do now to save your sanity this Christmas. And we include links to all the Hill Street tools that will make your Christmas much easier!
1. Grab a copy of our Summer and Christmas Food magazine
This year it’s a bumper 160-page issue brimming with delicious and easy recipes, guides and inspiration for Christmas Day and summer entertaining.
It’s available free of charge in all our stores or you can read it online here. Have a flick through, decide what you’re going to cook, and make the big decisions – turkey, duck or ham? A seafood Christmas? Then make yourself a master shopping list.
2. Start your food shopping early
Get a head start on your shopping by buying all your non-perishables before the holiday rush. Stock up on baking ingredients, cranberry sauce, cling wrap, baking paper, dish soap, serviettes and soft drinks. This will make your Christmas week shopping much easier on your budget and will help you manage those hectic days before Christmas.
You can shop online for all these at our regular online store here.
3. Put in your Hill Street online Christmas order
Next, place your online Christmas order to be sure you secure your perfect turkey, ham, pork loin, duck, seafood pie, crayfish or pudding. And a tip – order as early as possible. If the unexpected happens (an adverse weather event or an unforeseen supplier problem) your early order will be prioritised.
Plus, if you order online you go into the draw to WIN your Christmas order on us! Three lucky winners will have an extra special day. Orders close 17 December, winners announced 18 December.
4. Top up your Christmas Club Happiness Points or join up - it’s not too late
If you aren’t already a member of our loyalty program, The Happiness Club, join up before Christmas. You’ll earn points on all your shopping at Hill Street including your Christmas order. Plus you can elect to add extra Hill Street Christmas Club points to your points balance, for more spending power on the big day – with an extra 5% reward from us!
5. Buy your gifts early
This year make good on the promise you make to yourself every year, and buy gifts early. Many gifting dilemmas can be solved in one stop at Hill Street Home from our range of gourmet hampers, Tasmania wine or whisky, an inspiring cookbook or travel book, or a lovely homeware piece. You can also get some inspiration from our Christmas Guide.
Drop in to your nearest Hill Street Home at Hill Street Devonport, Longford, West Hobart or Sandy Bay to see the full range. Note liquor is only sold at Hill Street Home West Hobart.
6. Stock up on Tassie wine, beer, cider, spirits and more!
Work out how many guests you’ll have and stock up on alcohol early. Hill Street run some great specials on sparkling and Tassie-made wine in the lead up to Christmas so take advantage of some good pricing when you see it and stock up.
We also stock a range of Tasmanian beer, cider, spirits and ready-to-drink alcoholic drinks, plus a great range of local mixers.
Liquor is sold in our West Hobart, Lauderdale and South Hobart stores only.
