Since it’s the beginning of the year, I’m filling out my Birthday List for the first half of the year. This is how I keep track of sending birthday cards, buying and mailing any gifts, and keep control of my gift closet.
It’s not fancy, it’s just a list I keep in my Household Binder with one for January-June and one for July-December. I made it a Google Doc in case you want to download a Birthday List of your own. By keeping everyone on one list, I can carry it in my purse and when I happen upon clearance items, after-holiday sales, etc. I can pick up inexpensive gifts to keep in my gift closet. Because the items I buy have been assigned, I don’t end up with a lot of clutter in the closet or too much money tied up. It works for me!
