Plan Christmas without the overspending

I built this planner for my own family because our gift list is a little complicated: our kids, both sides of the family, grandparents, teachers, and a few extras along the way. I wanted one place to see who I’ve bought for, what I’ve spent, and what’s left. Now I’m sharing it with you.

It’s a Google Sheets template that keeps every gift in one place and does the math for you.

What’s inside:

• A dashboard with a Christmas countdown, your total budget, what you’ve spent, and what’s left

• Budgets by person and by group, so you can plan for each side of the family, grandparents, teachers, or anyone else you shop for

• One gift list where every gift moves from Idea to Ordered, Purchased, then Wrapped

• A Gift Review page that compares two people side by side, so the kids stay even

• Sample gifts to show you how it all works, plus a setup page you can make your own in a few minutes

It works in Google Sheets on your computer or phone. Enter your email and it’ll land in your inbox.
