Follow our list of Holiday expenses and our budget break down to keep on track, save money, and enjoy the most wonderful time of year!
Holiday Travel
Whether you are driving or flying, these expenses are sometimes the most expensive and important to keep track of.
Food
If you are hosting the holiday dinner this year or just bringing the mashed potatoes, research grocery store sales to purchase your food and ingredients at the best price. If cooking isn’t your thing, create a delicious charcuterie board on a monogrammed charcuterie board.
Work Gifts
Sometimes we forget that we agreed to secret Santa at work but set aside a small amount of money for gifts and food for coworkers in advance. If you are tight for money this year, stick to baking cookies or a loaf cake to share. No one turns down delicious homemade cookies.
Donations
The holiday season is about giving back to the community. Ensure that you keep money aside to give back to the local food bank, dog shelter, Church, or other charitable business that support the community throughout the year.
Gifts for Friends & Family
Buying gifts for your friends and family may be the biggest expense at the Holidays. There are a few ways to not go overboard when purchasing gifts. First, create a reasonable budget, for example, spend no more than $50 per person. Agree with your friends and family on a budget, so no one gets more or less than another. If you’re like me, finding the perfect gift for everyone can be hard, but if you are looking for meaningful, personalized gifts, browse our Christmas Gifts & Décor here.
Gift Packaging Materials
Don’t forget to factor in the packaging! We spend so much time buying the gifts, that sometimes we forget they have to be wrapped. Local dollar stores carry wrapping paper for a lower cost, so you won’t overspend on wrapping.
Gifts & Tips
Give an extra, “Thank you” to the service workers in your life. Give a small gift to the mailperson, garbage workers, landlord, and neighbors. Whether that be a small gift card, homemade cookies, or other little trinket, they will surely appreciate it. If you prefer to give physical gifts instead of money, this budget-friendly personalized monogrammed glass ornament is perfect! The ornament is custom engraved with a monogrammed deer antler wreath and personalized with a last name, which is perfect for acquaintances.
Decorations
Turn up the holiday music and get to decorating but be sure not to overspend when purchasing new décor. Most store chains carry tinsel garland and décor to brighten up your space. A personalized decoration we love is this Christmas countdown slate wall sign. This wall sign is personalized with the family’s last name and has a space to write and erase the days left until Christmas with chalk. It's fun for the whole family.
Now that you have a list of who and what you have to buy, create a reasonable budget for each category. If your budget is $1,000 this Holiday season, divey to money up between categories. There is an example budget below for reference.
Keeping track of all your purchases, in one place, is the easiest way to ensure you don’t overspend. This personalized notebook is perfect for writing down your purchases and keeping track of receipts. Plus, it is always there to help you remember what you’ve bought.
Shop During Sales
Shop during holiday sales to get the best bang for your buck. Our next sale is Labor Day weekend, and we have a huge weekend long Black Friday sale. Click here to follow us on social media to stay up to date on all the latest deals and steals.
Make DIY Gifts
Is there anything more thoughtful than a homemade gift? Dig into your creativity and make gifts for everyone on your list. Pinterest is the best place to ignite your imagination. The possibilities are endless; you can make ornaments from scrabble pieces, make candles, hot chocolate on a stick, and coasters.
Emergency Expenses
Always leave room in your budget for emergencies. We all forget things, it’s inevitable. Having an extra $75 in your budget reduces stress and headaches when you forgot about a gift or a party. This way, you won’t have to take money away from another expense.
