Holiday shopping gets stressful when the plan lives only in your head. Who’s left? Did you already buy something for your neighbor? Where did you hide it? A simple gift list answers all of that on one page.
What’s inside
A one-page table with columns for name, gift idea, budget, bought and wrapped, grouped into:
- Family
- Friends
- Kids
- Teachers, coworkers and neighbors
- Others
There’s also a tip about hiding gifts so none get forgotten.
How to use it
- List everyone first, before you start shopping. It’s easier to plan when you see the whole list.
- Jot down gift ideas as they come up during the year or while you browse.
- Set a rough budget per person if that helps you plan. It’s optional.
- Tick “bought” and “wrapped” as you go. By mid-December you’ll see at a glance what’s left.
Tips
- Shop early for the hard ones. Start with the people you find hardest to buy for.
- Hide gifts in one place and write the spot on the list.
- Keep it for next year. Old lists help you avoid giving the same gift twice.
