Make a List

Take a tip from Santa – make your list and check it twice.  List every person you plan to buy for and how much you want to spend for their gift.  Decide exactly what you want to get for each person before you head for the store.  Wandering through stores trying to decide what to buy will only increase your pain levels.  Be sure to write down sizes, color preferences, etc. so you don't forget.
