Does shopping for the holidays make you queasy? Do you get overwhelmed by all the options? Don’t worry! We’ve got you! We’ll tell you our 3 simple steps for eliminating overwhelm and finding the perfect gift for everyone on your list!
Step one is to set your budget! We’ve found that setting your budget before gift shopping reduces stress and anxiety. Why? Because you don’t spend time aimlessly looking at items out of your price range. My daughter loves Christmas and she loves to give gifts! I started doing this with her a few years ago before she begins looking for everyone on her Christmas list and it has really helped her!
Step two, make a list in the notes app on your phone of anyone you will be buying for. Total up the number of people on the list. Hey, it works for Santa right?
Ok, so you have your budget and list of people to buy for right? Great!
Now it’s time for step three! If you want to get everyone an equal-ish gift, take the total budget and divide by the number of people you are shopping for. So, let’s say we have $1000 to spend and we are shopping for 20 people, that’s $50 each. Now, we can use that magic number when looking for the gifts! Simple right?
Have a few favorites? Take those amounts out first and then repeat step three for the remaining people you are shopping for.
We do the majority of our shopping online cause it makes it easy to see everything at once and get a total of what you are spending.
Ok, so I know you are thinking…”That’s great! But, how do I pick the perfect gifts?” That’s simple too! Search for gift guides in your price range! Check out our favorites gifts below to get your ideas flowing!
