## Make a practical plan

- [ ] Agree any group gift exchange rules
- [ ] Set a total spending limit you are comfortable with
- [ ] Allocate a limit for each planned gift
- [ ] Record interests or wishes for each recipient
- [ ] Check whether an experience or shared gift would suit

## Choose and track gifts

- [ ] Check what you already have before buying materials
- [ ] Choose a gift idea for each recipient

- [ ] Check delivery estimates before placing an order
- [ ] Record the order or collection details
- [ ] Check each gift when it arrives

## Wrap and hand over

- [ ] Keep gift receipts separate from personal paperwork
- [ ] Gather reusable wrapping and gift bags
- [ ] Label each wrapped gift with its recipient
- [ ] Set a posting date for gifts sent by mail
- [ ] Group gifts by the occasion or delivery destination
- [ ] Mark each gift as handed over or sent
