So sure, let’s add in being responsible for getting the perfect gift for everyone (and making sure they all arrive on time).
It's downright overwhelming!

But how do you get special, unique gifts for everyone on your list without spending tons of time and money- or losing your sanity? Keep on scrolling for my 4 favorite tips!

1. Make your list and check it twice. Of course, you know who you need to buy gifts for… but keeping track of it on top of everything else you're doing can be hard.
Aaannnndddd that can also lead to accidentally forgetting to get something for Aunt Sally who will be on her way over in 1 hour….
Avoid that embarrassment by keeping a list of everyone you need to buy for and what you're getting for them. You can do this in your planner, on a notebook, the notes app on your phone, or grab these printable holiday planner pages and keep everything super organized!
