Summary
Today Lindsay is talking about actually asking what you want for this holiday season.
Why to ask for what you want:
❤️ it makes it easier on them
❤️ it cuts down on the cutter or things you don't need
❤️ ask for things you actually could use or really want
❤️ it sets you and them up for a successful holiday
How do you do it?
❤️ be reasonable and give price point options
❤️ tell them your sizes/colors
❤️ tell them your shopper if you have one - or who helps you when you go to look
❤️ tell them what you don't want/need or don't like
Then…
❤️ be genuinely grateful for what you get
❤️ realize life is long, if it doesn't pan out perfectly, sometimes it's best to realize they tried and don't ruin the time.
We hope you have such a great holiday season with your family and friends and get a few special things that you want too!
HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!!

| 0:00.0 | This is one of those little tips that I wish I would have known earlier in life. Today we are talking |
| 0:05.1 | about how to get what you want for the holidays. How to plan ahead so you aren't disappointed on the big |
| 0:10.4 | day. We're talking about how to ask for what you really want, give ideas of what you would like |
| 0:16.2 | and not like. Even if you don't want much, we're talking about giving gift ideas rather than |
| 0:22.3 | leaving it up for your loved ones to figure out on their own. I'm talking about how I think we |
| 0:27.7 | sometimes set up our loved ones for failure or we're sort of testing them even if we don't mean to. |
| 0:33.9 | We all do so much for everyone else. This episode is all about how you can do your part to make sure you get a little something special this holiday season two. |

| 0:53.3 | Your host, Lindsay Dick Hout, is an entrepreneur and business owner, a mom and wife, |
| 0:58.3 | and someone who wants to do things over the top at all times. |
| 1:02.2 | This concept started as a collection of things Lindsay has learned that she was documenting |
| 1:06.5 | to give to her kids one day, and now it's a podcast. |
| 1:09.7 | Join us on this journey where we talk about |
| 1:11.8 | how to be awesome at everything we do. Here's Lindsay. Happy holidays. This episode is all about |
| 1:21.6 | gifting, but this time for you. I am sure you are racing around doing everything to make sure that everyone in your life |
| 1:30.2 | has a fantastic and special and magical holiday filled with sweet gifts and things that they really want. |
| 1:38.9 | So this podcast is kind of the flip side of this. This podcast is to make you pause for just a second to think about |
| 1:45.9 | what you really want this holiday season and how to tell the people that you love, the people |
| 1:53.2 | that are going to give you gifts, what you want. In this episode, we're going to talk about why, |
| 1:59.2 | I think you should ask for what you want, how to actually |
