1. Make a list of people for whom you want to buy gifts.
Remember to include teachers and the paper boy.
2. Set a budget. Note beside each name how much you
can spend.
3. Include gift ideas for each person. Consider gift
certificates and edibles.
4. Look through mail order catalogs weekly. Mark gift
ideas with sticky notes. Set a deadline of November 15
to make final decisions and order.
5. Set aside a little time each week to shop. When you
find something you love, decide who on your list might
like it. Buy the same gift for several people.
6. Gather shipping boxes and packing materials. Mail
your gifts early this year to avoid waiting in long lines.
7. Buy wrapping paper, bows and tags this week. Set
up a gift wrap center in your home. Stock it with tape,
scissors and pens. Wrap as you buy.
