Set a budget

The most important thing you need to do when beginning your holiday shopping is to set an overall budget. Within that budget, figure out who you need to buy gifts for and how much you would like to allocate for each gift.

Don’t forget to account for your other upcoming expenses when figuring out how much you can afford to spend on gifts, such as your holiday travel plans, groceries and any dinner or party expenses.
