Is it ever too early to start thinking about and planning for Christmas? We think not. Especially if you don't want December filled with stress and worry, attempting to find the money and time to source your family gifts. Not to mention the mountains of food everyone is likely to eat over the holidays.

For some ideas on how to make money in time for Christmas, apart from taking a look at this page, which shows a range of high-paying jobs, you can snap up in the coming weeks. Here are a few other ideas to ensure you make extra money in time for Christmas.

Sell Things You No Longer Need

Spare, unwanted things around your home mean one thing - there's cash to be had. 

With numerous easy to use websites and apps to list your stuff on today such as Decluttr, there's no better time or way to make extra money in time for Christmas.

Make sure you make the most money from each item, be it a piece of furniture or a pushchair, by sprucing it up. Plus, take a picture of your piece of clothing, or books, etc., in an open light space to give it the best chance of attracting viewers to buy!

Use Your Vehicle To Make Money

If you have a vehicle and you're a decent driver, you could use it to make some money. 

Websites such as Uber and Deliveroo present two opportunities to either take up work as a taxi driver during hours that suit you. Or, instead, deliver food for businesses to their customers in the area!

There are a few specifications you need to meet, such as age requirements and experience driving. But you can find out more about this on each company's website.

Use Cashback Sites

Cashback sites offer a percentage back on purchases you make with certain stores. Over time you can build up a healthy pot of money to spend on occasions like Christmas. 

For example, you can begin claiming cashback with websites such as Rakuten. All you need to do is register your details and login to your account. From here, you choose and select your retailer, and it transfers you through to the company's website where you make your website. 

After a little while, the cashback will be uploaded to your account. Over time, having made a few purchases, the cash will mount up, and you will be able to use it to fund your online shopping for Christmas.

Amazon Gift Cards

If you have any unwanted books, DVDs, electronic devices, or games you no longer need, Amazon will accept them. And in exchange, send you vouchers to spend with them online.

Extra money at Christmas always helps. Whether you want to overhaul the Christmas tree, buy the biggest and best turkey and party food, or purchase new guest beds for when your family stays over for Christmas. The above suggestions are just a few options you can use to bump up your Christmas funds.
