7 Tips to Organize Your Holiday Gift-Giving

1. Make a list of people for whom you want to buy gifts. Remember to include teachers and the paper boy.
2. Set a budget. Note beside each name how much you can spend.
3. Include gift ideas for each person. Consider gift certificates and edibles.
4. Look through mail order catalogs weekly. Mark gift ideas with sticky notes. Set a deadline of November 15 to make final decisions and place orders.
5. Set aside a little time each week to shop. When you find something you love, decide who on your list might like it. Buy the same gift for several people.
6. Gather shipping boxes and packing materials. Mail your gifts early this year to avoid long lines.
7. Buy wrapping paper, bows and tags this week. Set up a gift wrap center in your home. Stock it with tape, scissors and pens. Wrap as you buy.
