100 Ideas for Blogmas

As I mentioned yesterday, I plan to do Blogmas this year! It might be an alien concept to you if you haven’t heard that term before.  Simply put, Blogmas challenges you to do a daily blog post during the month of December.  There’s variations of the challenge with people doing 12, 24, 25 or 31 posts in the month.  Whilst some people stick to Christmas themed posts only, others include non-Christmas posts.  So there’s plenty of different ways to “do Blogmas”.  It’s all about what works best for you.  Either way, it all kicks off from today – the 1st of December!

Now, a lot of people plan this months in advance and have it all scheduled well before November even started.  I’m not like these people so I imagine that this challenge will be a big struggle for me to keep up with.  However, I thought I’d give it a go and see what happens!

To help me, I came up with a list of 100 blog posts that I could write during this challenge.  Of course, mine are themed to stationery, crafts and planning.  However, I came up with a few ideas that weren’t suitable for my blog.  I wanted to share those with you too, in case they were of use to you instead!  I’ve broken them down into a few different categories just to make it easier to read.  Don’t feel limited to just one though!  As a big fan of Christmas, I wanted to focus these ideas on the holiday.  I think most people struggle with coming up with good festive blog posts they could write, especially if they plan to do 31 of them.  So I hope this will help those people!  Without further ado, let’s see the list…
