It’s Almost Christmas

Now is the time to get serious about your Christmas gift list! Include family members, friends, co-workers, and business associates. Here’s an easy to use Christmas gift list.

Making the list

It’s tempting to overspend during the holidays, so at the top of your list write down your Christmas budget.

1. In the first column list everyone on your list.
2. The second column enter how much you want to spend on this person. Keep in mind that there are lots of inexpensive or homemade gifts that don’t cost a lot.
3. The third column is for gift ideas. If you’ve been getting hints, this is a good place to record them.
4. An optional fourth column could be used to note the online prices for some the gifts. You can save a lot by ordering from Amazon or one of the other big retailers online. Even if you intend to buy locally it’s a good idea to compare online and offline prices.

At the bottom of column two write the total amount listed in the column. If it’s more than your budget, go through the list again and revise how much you will spend until the total matches your budget or you change the amount intend to spend for all your Christmas gifts.

Be sure to update your list as you shop.
