Christmas Gift List & Holiday Budget Tracker Spreadsheet: Gift Tracker, Savings Plan & Spending Log (Google Sheets + Excel)
Keep the holidays from showing up on your credit card in January. Set one holiday budget, split it into categories, and track every gift and expense as you go.
What's inside
• Holiday Budget: total budget, what you've already saved, and how much to set aside each paycheck before you shop. Budget vs. spent vs. left for 8 categories (gifts, food and hosting, travel, decorations, cards and postage, wrapping, charity, other), with a countdown to the holiday.
• Gift List: each person, gift idea, budget, actual price, where you bought it, and a status dropdown (Idea, Ordered, Shipped, Wrapped, Given). Over-budget gifts are flagged.
• Other Spending: log hosting, travel, decorations and everything else by category.
• Gift status counts and planned vs. actual gift spending update on their own.
