An organized gift list also allows you to create a master game plan for any shopping excursions. By looking at who will be getting what, you can strategically plan which stores to hit on any given trip and which departments to include in that particular store. This will save you time spent wandering the aisles or driving back and forth across town as you try desperately to remember who needs what from where.

 

Do Your Research

While you shouldn't drive yourself crazy scouring every newspaper and website for great holiday deals, start paying attention to sales at the stores you are interested in or the items and brands you already have in mind.

Most retailers have email lists you can easily sign up for that will send sale information right to your inbox. The best part is, they'll often include exclusive deals and discounts. There are even computer applications that will track specific items for you and send you email alerts when those go on sale.
