I don’t think I’m the only one who dislikes fighting a crowd at the stores close to Christmas. Because of that frustration, I try to get my gift buying done early! Of course my goal is to get everything bought by Dec.1st, but honestly that has never happened!
Today I thought I would share with you the list I use for gift giving! Take 10 minutes today to sit down and write your list of recipients and start picking up a few items as you see them! Don’t forget the stocking stuffers too!
Find a piece of paper, physically write down the names on the left side of the page, leave some room for writing. Keep this paper in a safe place or better yet, in your purse/wallet. As you purchase gifts, write it down next to the persons name!
Here’s my list!!
- Spouse
- Children
- Pets
- Parents
- Siblings
- Grandparents
- Aunts/Uncles
- Cousins
- Neighbors
- Co-Workers
- Employees
- Teachers/Staff/Administrators
- School Bus Drivers
- Babysitters
- Mail/Delivery People
- Hairdressers & Other Service Professionals
I’m sure you can think of even more people! My hope is that this isn’t stressful, but instead helps you feel more in control of your holiday season!!
