Perhaps you struggle with the question "how much is too much" when it comes to presents for your children, your other relatives and your friends. Here is some advice from a recent blog post on http://www.savvyshoppertoday.com.
1. Make a gift plan: Compile a list of how many people you are buying for, and if they are children, considering setting a gift limit by age and a dollar limit if they are older.
2. Draw names: If there are just too many people, consider having everyone pick just one person to exchange gifts. Sometimes, that will produce more meaningful gifts.
3. Shared experience: Pool money from multiple people to purchase a larger item as a gift.
4. Communicate: If you have a relative who goes overboard, tell that person to limit gifts or even make a donation in the child's name to a particular charity.
