What's the secret to actually enjoying Christmas shopping this year? I make it easy by getting organized before I purchase a single present.

Create a gift budget
Once the list is made, you need to decide how much you are able to spend for each person. You can do this right on your gift planner. You might want to start in pencil as you may need to make adjustments to be sure that your total is something you are comfortable with.Buy or DIY
Once your budget is set, it’s time to start thinking up gift ideas! Check out the Amazon Holiday Toy list for inspiration for the kids, or the Home Gift Guide for adults.You may also decide that you want to make homemade gifts this year. This can be a great way to create meaningful gifts for relatives (Grandmas love homemade presents!) or to give to a group of coworkers or neighbors without going over budget. I love giving these cookies and cocoa jars to our neighbors and friends (and there's a free printable envelope too).
Shop online when you can

I much prefer shopping online in my pjs with a glass of wine after the kids are in bed.
