It pays to begin your shopping early. Start with a list of everyone you’re shopping for this year. Don’t forget yourself, your neighbor who always says hello in passing, a coworker or classmate who has a birthday soon, or someone you would like to surprise for no reason.
On your list, make four columns. In the first column, write the names of the people you are shopping for this year. Then record who your people are (self, parents, children, friend, coworker, boss, postal carrier, etc.). In the third column, write gift ideas for each person on your list. Next, set dollar limits. It’s okay to change your mind later. You might like to add another column to record where you find that perfect gift so you can remember to shop there again.
Once you finish your list and start shopping, you’re on your way to a less expensive and stressful holiday season. Just think how wonderful it will be to finish shopping early and have more time to relax and celebrate with friends and family.
