Holiday Gift & Budget Planner Spreadsheet: Christmas Gift List, Budget, Cards & Party Planner

Have a calmer, debt-free holiday this year. This spreadsheet keeps every gift, every dollar and every party in one place, so nothing gets forgotten and nothing goes on the credit card by surprise.

What's inside:

• Dashboard: a countdown to the big day, % of budget spent, what's left to spend, gifts still to buy, gifts wrapped and cards sent. Updates automatically.
• People: set a gift budget for everyone on your list. See planned, spent and left to spend, with a status for each person: All set, Shopping, Over budget or No ideas yet.
• Gift List: every idea with price, store and tracking, and a colour-coded status from Idea to Ordered, Bought, Wrapped and Given.
• Holiday Budget: planned vs. actual for food, travel, decorations, hosting, wrapping, charity, outfits and more, with a chart.
• Expenses: log non-gift spending once and it flows into your budget.
• Card List: who gets a card, who sent one, and who gets a gift too.
• Hosting & Events: every party you're hosting or attending, with a to-do list.

You get two files: a blank planner ready to fill in, and a complete example so you can see exactly how it works.

Works in Microsoft Excel, Google Sheets and Apple Numbers. Yellow cells are for typing; everything else calculates itself. No formulas to write.
