Christmas Gift Budget Planner - Excel Spreadsheet

Product Description

This is the perfect tool to help you stay on-budget this Christmas! With all the gifts we need to buy for our loved ones (not to mention teachers, colleagues, baby sitters- the list goes on), it can be hard to keep track of how much we're spending. Sometimes the cost adds up faster than we expected and we spend more than we can afford. That's why it's so important to stick to a pre-set holiday budget! This spreadsheet will help you make a budget and stick to it! And the festive theme of the spreadsheet will keep you in the holiday spirit. This spreadsheet is also great for staying organized, as it has spots to jot down gift ideas and notes about the items you've purchased. In addition, you can check off which person you have or have not finished buying for! This Christmas budgeting planner is very simple to use:

• Start by setting a total gift budget for this holiday season
• Allocate how your budget should be distributed among all the people you need to buy for
• For each gift purchase you make, record the amount you spent and label who the present is for

The tool will do all the remaining hard work and calculations for you:

• Summarize how your gift expenditure compares to the budget you set
• Breaks down how much you spent on each person and how that compares to the gift budget you allocated to them
