Prices are up, everybody's stretched, and the holidays still come every year. This kit is how you do the season on purpose: decide your number first, then let every gift and every dish fit inside it. No guilt, and no surprise credit card bill in January.

What you get

- My Holiday Number worksheet: figure out what you can actually spend without borrowing from next month, then split it into buckets (gifts, hosting, travel, decor, extras, and a cushion for surprises).

- Gift Budget Tracker (2 pages): set a cap for every person before you shop, track what you spent, and check it off when it's wrapped.

- Hosting Game Plan: event details, a cost-per-plate calculator, and a guest list with RSVPs and dietary needs.

- Menu & Potluck Tracker: who's bringing what, what it costs you, plus a shopping list.

- Prep Timeline: a 3-weeks-out to day-of checklist so the day itself is calm.

- 6 AI Gift-Idea Prompts: copy, paste into ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, or Copilot, and get thoughtful gift ideas under your budget.

- The January Check-In: see how you did, plan any payoff, and set up next year's savings.

- Bonus spreadsheet (Excel / Google Sheets): type in your numbers and it does the math for you. Totals, budget left, and anything over budget turns red.
