You're probably thinking... woah pump the breaks Court, it is not even November yet. And I am happy to share that is exactly the point. Christmas comes fast every single year. We enjoy the beauty of autumn and bam! By November/December I feel like I am scrambling to consider what to gift others.
Are you a last minute shopper? Have you always wanted to give gifts that are unique to the receiver, but those ideas magically fly out of your head? I hear you! I've been that person! In my opinion, the best gifts are the ones that someone has mentioned in the past, forgets about, only to find that the giver did not forget at all. You, my friend, can be that type of gift giver this year.
The best way I have found to track gift ideas is on my phone in the notes section. I break my notes into categories so that I can easily access them. Now the fun part is to keep your radar open to when your loved ones mention something they wish they had throughout the year. Simply type out the persons name in your note and add below it the gift idea. Make it into a checklist so you can easily mark it as "purchased" once you begin to shop ideas from your list.
This also works for planning ideas for yourself! Make a "Me" section and add to your wish list of things you'd love to receive. You will never draw a blank again when people ask you what's on your wish list, because you legitimately have a wish list. ;) This also is a blessing for my budgeters out there. Say you don't have the means to purchase that item you've been eyeing. Now you can easily remember what you've been saving up for!
Can't wait to hear how this blesses you and your people as you set out to be a top-secret-gift-giver.
