Keep a list of ideas throughout the year.
* Consider whole family gifts – bowling, movie, games, etc.
* Give experiential gifts vs tangible items. ex. Ski or concert tickets, massage or therapeutic sessions.
* Only buy for the kids or draw names.
* Implement “secret santa” for one year.
* Let the kids buy or make something for the other kids.
* Bake or make gifts.
* Use mobile apps to find best prices and deals. Red Laser and Deal News are a couple I use.
Have fun and don’t sweat it
