Call me crazy, but I started Christmas shopping weeks ago...or at least planning my gifts. I already know what I'm getting my co-workers and friends, and I've bought my son some classic children's literature that was on sale at Border's two weeks ago.
Today, I received an email from Target announcing their Christmas list. I looked through the list and realized how easy boys are when it comes to gifts. My list will contain gifts from the following categories:
- Blocks/Legos
- Pretend Play (tool kit, doctor's kit, cash register, etc.)
- Action Figures and/or Cars
- Arts and Crafts
- Classic Board Games
- Learning Toys (Leap Frog reader)
- Books
- Clothing
These are pretty much the same categories I used last year and will use for years to come. I suppose only the details will change. (For instance, he likes superheros this year, but maybe next year he'll be into dinosaurs.) My problem is that I want to get him everything! I really need to set a budget, but I want to hear from you first...
Do you set a budget for your holiday shopping? How much do you usually spend on Christmas gifts for your child/children?
