Organizing Gift Giving

In real life the holidays are difficult , fun, harried and expensive.

Over the years ;our gift lists grow .New friends; new  in-laws ; births ; teachers -etc-

 This is meant with all caring ; make lists .

              List -1- people

                           group by families

              List -2- Amount you can spend

                           and charge.

              List-3- Allocate an amount to

                          each group.

              List -4- Decorations

              List -5- Wrapping - A-paper

                                               B-tape

                                               C-stickers

                                                   tags

               List -5- Cards  

This will give you a good base from which to plan your expenditures.

 Now you know sis gets approximately $$ ; sis likes ??? - look.

 Same with all on your list.

 Know you will not find everything ; that is really not the issue. Getting a list ; ges a frame- fill in the picture.

 Best friend loves dogs; think creatively ; buy her something for herself with a dog theme.

A DVD; A piece of jewelry; a cute sweatshirt. This may surprise you - just how much people enjoy that you found a gift in their area of interest.

You will have many areas based on the person ; remember that your list has humans on it.

 That is so obvious when spoken ; but in practice it means think personal interest.

 As you find items ; check the persons name. It really takes less time to do it as yo.u go along .

 Starting a couple of months before ;you will allow yourself time to leisurely find gifts .All will not be perfect ; all will be remembered .

You will have a gift for all on your list ; all family and friends will have a gift from you.

Have A Merry Christmas ..........
