How I Plan + Track Gift-Giving!
Hey friends! One of the hardest things about shopping for the holidays is…the budget. I just want to buy ALL THE THINGS for ALL THE PEOPLE, but my budget says “Um, no thank you!”
Anyone else?
So in the last few years, I’ve gotten really strategic about gift giving – so that I can set and stick to my budget WHILE giving gifts that I absolutely love.
To show you how I do this, I recorded a quick video of my tracking spreadsheet, explaining exactly how I use it! You can watch the video below AND I have a free tracking spreadsheet for YOU, too!!
I made a template for YOU to use, too! I’ll send it straight to your inbox when you enter your info below. You’ll just make a copy of my template and addition to your own google drive – for you to use over and over!
I hope this proves super helpful for you, as you shop for Christmas (and maybe birthdays too!), and try to stick to your budget. You can do this!!

I will be trying out your tracker.
I’ve always just used pen and paper.
Starting my Christmas shopping for my family later than expected. 🤦🏻♀️
The good thing is that I do shop throughout the year so I do have some items for gifts.
Now with the tracker I can plug everything in and see what I’ve spent. 😃
