Once you have a complete gift list, it’s time to set your Christmas budget. Do you know how much you’ll have to spend on Christmas gifts this year? Take that amount and divide it by the number of gift recipients on your list. This can be tweaked to meet your needs. Maybe you want to plan to spend less for coworkers and neighbors, but more for family members. Another way to plan your Christmas budget is to decide on a set amount per person or family, then add that up to get your total budget amount.
