The Holiday Headstart

5. Making a Plan for Gift Giving


Listen Later

In this episode, we explain how to approach holiday gift giving with an intentional plan. Our Holiday Headstart method includes:

  1. Listing and categorizing recipients.
  2. Deciding who will receive single or multiple gifts.
  3. Determining the type of gift each person will receive—personal, thoughtful, or friendly.

We explain how to use the "Holiday Head Start Playbook" for detailed organization. And we share a tip for inventorying the gifts you already bought before your holiday shopping ramps up.
