Well there are a couple of reasons for the spreadsheet, which are all gonna make me seem like a total control freak
, but it actually feels Christmassy at this stage, its just another tradition.
First of all I calculate how much I will spend on each person (usually just base it on what I have spent in previous years) That then calculates my total budget for all presents I need to buy. I then calculate how many weeks I have until Christmas (or whenever I want to have finished my shopping usually November) it divides my total budget needed by weeks left so I know how much I need to save each week.
I then list each person I buy for, with budget for each person. As I buy something for that person I add it to it to the sheet which automatically then updates the amount I have left within budget to buy for each person, it also takes everything I have bought from my total budget.
I also have a column for each person where I list anything I might have seen or would like to buy for people. As I buy mostly online I usually add the link to the page where I have seen the idea so I can easily find it later.
As I like to buy a lot early it helps me to keep track of what I have bought and for who, it also saves getting to November and realising there just aren’t enough pay days left.
Sorry for the long boring reply by the way, bet you wished you never asked now. 0 -

Hopefully the next 5 go fast. I love the month leading up to Christmas, and I love to drag it out.0
