Business Alert at 9:00am With CVA – Gifts Tips
Clear Vision • December 19, 2018
Have you left it until the last minute? We can Help.
It’s never fun to open a gift from someone you love and realise you haven’t bought them anything in return so instead of having that sinking feeling, we thought we’d give you a few ideas from the team at Clear Vision Accountancy Group. Maybe this year could be your best year yet for surprising him or her. The below gifts are not necessarily just his and hers, e.g. everyone would love a Travel Voucher… It’s a guide only.
Gifts for Her
- Chanel No 5 Soap – $34.00 (Can’t go wrong)
- Ella Bache Voucher – Money value so she can choose, less pressure on you this way too
- Peter Alexander Pyjamas -voucher can work here too because of size concerns
- Travel Voucher – How can you go wrong? Flight Centre voucher can even be used for a night in the city.
- Polaroid Camera – don’t forget to buy film too
- Shoe shop voucher – Because who doesn’t love shoes?
Gifts for Him
- Wireless Headphones – You can get them from $40 to $400
- Chanel Deodorant – there are a few scents but men love these, easier than aftershave
- Shaving Kits or Hot Shave Voucher – Specialty Barber Shops
- Hip Flask – Lots of cool ones around or you can get one personalised
- Experience Voucher – E.g. Rally Driving, Tiger Moth flight, Sky-diving… etc
- Esky – there are so many options, K Mart has one on wheels that can turn into a cart without the esky
- A good brand knife – We all love our sharp knives, King of Knives have everything you’ll need
This is just a few options but if you’re stuck, I’m positive you’ll be able to find something on this list that would delight.
Merry Christmas!

As we step into the final week of autumn and feel winter’s chill approaching, it’s a natural time for reflection—and that includes taking stock of your financial and tax situation. The end of the year is closer than it seems, and a bit of preparation now can make a significant difference come tax season. Here are a few things to consider as the leaves fall: 1. Review Your Income and Deductions This is a good moment to check your income year-to-date and consider whether there are any deductions you can still take advantage of. Charitable donations or investment losses might help reduce your taxable income before year-end. 2. Maximise Super Concessional Contributions If you haven’t yet maxed out your superannuation concessional contributions, there’s still time. Remember unused cap amounts carry forward for 5 years and the 2019-20 unused cap amount will expire 30 June 2025. These contributions not only help secure your future but can also offer tax benefits now. 3. Organise Your Records Autumn’s slower pace is perfect for pulling together receipts, invoices, and financial documents. Getting organised now means less stress later when tax season begins in earnest. 4. Consider Tax-Loss Harvesting If you’ve had investments that underperformed, selling them before the end of the year to offset gains can be a strategic move. Consult with us today to see if this makes sense for you. 5. Plan Ahead Winter may bring holidays and downtime, but it's also a good window to consult with a tax professional. A quick meeting before year-end can reveal savings opportunities or help avoid surprises when you file. So, as the days grow shorter and frost begins to settle in, use this time to bring clarity and warmth to your finances.
