Holiday gift planning checklist
Plan end-of-year gifts without last-minute confusion: recipients, ideas, spending limits, delivery dates, wrapping and handover.

MAKE A PRACTICAL PLAN
- List the people you plan to give a gift to
- 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
- Confirm sizes or compatibility where needed
- 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
