Festive fun can be safe and cost-effective for single parents this Christmas, say Raw Labels

With the festive season fast approaching, many single parents are worried about their children missing out on all the fun that Christmas has to offer due to cost and safety concerns.

With an estimated £1.1bn to be spent over the festive period on toys and special days out to mark the season, the parental pressure to overspend on items they struggle to afford is particularly poignant for single parents, who are constantly worried about how to provide their children with a wonderful Christmas without blowing their budget.

The stresses that are typically shared with a partner fall solely at the feet of one individual, and so the festive season is something that is more likely to be endured than enjoyed.

Raw Labels, a provider of re-useable ID wristbands, sticky name labels and iron on clothing labels for children, is aware of the challenges single parents face at this time of the year and is offering some suggestions on how to make Christmas fun, safe and cost-effective this year.

From a local Christmas lights trail where children and their parent can talk a stroll around their neighbourhood to find the best festive fairy light displays before picking a winner to creating some low-cost dinner table decorations using foraged holly, pinecones and ivy plus a little glitter and floristry oasis, there are plenty of ways that single parents can create some little family traditions of their own this year without breaking the bank.

Visits to Santa and other Christmas themed events can also be expensive and stressful for single parents if they have more than one child to keep an eye on, but local Salvation Army carol concerts and Rotary Club Santa sleighs are free of charge and an excellent way for small families to get into the Christmas spirit.

Keeping safe is a number one priority during these events, so Raw Labels offers a range of great value re-useable ID wristbands for children that are colourful, waterproof and can help reunite wandering little ones with their mother or father.

Complete with a bright child-friendly image, their name and your contact telephone number, these ID wristbands can help provide additional peace of mind for single parents when out at these festive events so that they’re free to enjoy everything the Christmas season has to offer.
