Here are a few tips for our Christmas Gift Challenge…
- Create an overall budget. This will help you stay on track and stay within your means.
- Make a list. Know who you’re shopping for and group them by priority.
- Decide on a budget per person. Designate a specific budget for each person and how many gifts you plan to buy for them.

Here’s how to minimize your shopping this year.
This is the year you can consider starting the 4 Gift Rule if you’re looking to simplify your shopping list. This method of gift-giving makes each gift more meaningful and intentional. Say goodbye to frivolous holiday shopping!
We also favor vacation experience gifts. While tangible items are always nice, the memories from something you can do can never be replaced and will last a lifetime. While this may not be for everyone, it’s surely something to get you thinking before the holiday season is here.

Love seeing the list of upcoming gift guides! I also shop for my siblings and my best friend. The bestie is easy since she likes a lot of the same things I like… my brothers on the other hand are difficult to shop for! I’d love to see a gift guide for adult siblings added to the list 🙂
Glad you’re loving the list, Emily! ❤️ Thanks so much for the request! We did do Sisters and Brothers last year and will do it again this year! 🙌
For my coworkers (24 of them) I made a large fruit basket and took it to the office for everyone. Oranges, apples, cuties, and some Reese’s mini peanut butter cups mixed in. It was a massive time saver for me. Budget friendly. It was a huge hit with our team.
That sounds like an amazing gift idea, April! 🍊🍏🍫 Love the mix of fruit and Reese’s – no wonder it was a hit! 🙌 Such a smart, budget-friendly idea too! Thanks for sharing!
I’ve really cut back on the gifts I purchase for people in recent years and focus more on experiences (travel, events, etc.) and quality time. I love see all the deals and taking advantage of them for items we need, but they are normally just things for our home, dog, etc.
I started shopping whenever I see good deal you guys post. From salt & pepper sherr
Same here, Regina! 🥰 Glad you snag some Hip deals all year long!
*sorry I accidentally clicked post. I meant to say salt & pepper grinder and candle warmer lamps
No worries at all! ❤️ Those sure make great gifts!
