Holiday Gift & Budget Tracker: Christmas Gift List and Budget Planner (Printable PDF + Spreadsheet)

Know who you're buying for, what you've bought and what you've spent.

This Christmas gift tracker keeps your gift list and your holiday budget together. Set a total budget, give each person an amount, and check off gifts as you buy, wrap and give them.

What it helps with

- Setting a holiday budget before you start shopping.

- Planning gifts person by person, with a set amount for each.

- Keeping track of online orders until they arrive.

- Seeing how much of your budget is left.

- Keeping the other holiday costs (food and hosting, cards, shipping, decorations, travel) in the same place.

What's inside (14 printable pages, plus an 8-tab spreadsheet)

- Holiday budget: total budget, spent, left, and planned vs spent for 11 categories.

- Gift list by person: budget, gift idea, spent, and Bought / Wrapped / Given boxes. One filled-in example page and 3 blank pages.

- Online orders log: item, who it's for, store, order number, price, arrival date.

- Food & hosting: meals and events with budgets, a menu, and a shopping list.

- Cards & shipping: a card list (sent / got one back) and a packages-to-ship list with ship-by dates, tracking numbers and costs.

- December countdown: a box for each day from December 1 to 25.

- To-do list & key dates: to-dos grouped from November to the day before, and a list for ship-by deadlines and events.

- Summary: planned vs spent, what to set aside each month for next year, what worked and what to change.

- Sizes, favorites & ideas: sizes, favorite things and gift ideas for each person, for next year and birthdays.

- The fillable spreadsheet covers the budget, gift list, orders, food & hosting, cards & shipping, countdown and summary. Totals add up as you type, and gift, food, card and shipping costs flow into the budget by themselves.
