With the holidays coming up, everyone is frenziedly looking for gifts to buy. Not to mention the innumerable birthday, anniversary, graduation, etc. gifts you have to buy throughout the year. But don't lose hope and throw your hands up in the air, strategize!

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • A list of all the people you need to buy gifts for
  1. Step 1

    Make a thorough list of every person you need to buy a gift for. Then categorize them: by age, by relationship, or by type. You may not want to categorize special people like your parents, grandparents, siblings, etc. Choose something special for them. The categorization is for people who you must give a gift to, but are not necessarily part of your inner circle.

  2. Step 2

    Assign a gift item to each category. All members of that category receive the same gift. You may wish to choose different colors or different sizes for the item, according to the person, so have your list handy.

  3. Step 3

    If you do not find the item you'd listed, choose something else that is similar and that you can easily buy lots of, depending of course on the number you need.

  4. Step 4

    You could buy multipacks of some items to save money, remove them from the package and repackage with a gift ribbon or place in a gift bag.
