A woman from Bristol has found a unique side-hustle that allows her to pay for all of her Christmas gifts. Janine Ralph, a talented designer, decorates Christmas trees for other people and earns around £2,000 every festive season. She started the service after receiving compliments from friends and family about her own impressive Christmas tree decorations.
In-Demand Service
Ralph's side-hustle is so popular that she has to start preparing at least six months in advance to finish in time. Last year, she made £300 in profits after an overwhelming response to her Facebook post about the service. This year, she was fully booked with 27 clients, charging £40 for a 7ft tree.
A Passion for Design
Ralph, who also runs her own gift store, has always loved interior design and decorating her own house. Her friends encouraged her to turn her talent into a service, and she never looked back. Although she has no formal training, she relies on the internet for inspiration and ensures that every tree she decorates looks perfect.
Extra Cash for Christmas
Ralph's side-hustle not only covers the cost of Christmas but also gives her a sense of satisfaction. She enjoys the compliments she receives for her work and already has people asking when she will start taking bookings for next year. The extra cash from her side gig is a great help during the holiday season.
