Great post Tsh. I know too many people who stress out and overdo it with Christmas shopping during the last few weeks before the big day. I am definitely going to send some of them a link to this post. Are you going to talk about wrapping presents in an upcoming post?

Reusable cloth gift bags like the ones we make at Wrapsacks simplify gift wrapping and reduce waste. I have heard about gift exchanges where they use the finite size of reusable gift bags as a way to limit the volume of gift giving.

As a way to encourage reuse of our sacks, we created Track-a-Sack, a system that lets users see where their Wrapsack travels to or where it came from, what gifts it has carried and what celebrations it has been a part of.

Having a list and keeping it on you at all times is critical. When I have forgotten to do this I have found myself the week before Christmas with too many gifts for some family members, and zero for others. Oops! .-= Tiffany´s last blog ..How a Robot Broke My Heart =-.

apart from our parents adults/teens in the extended family only receive a gift if they come to the family get together – and it’s always something to be consumed slowly (to reduce clutter in others homes & to avoid xmas binging!) like homemade preserves, sauces etc. other people’s children receive something small & handmade, and our kids receive something smallish handmade (this year i’m making hobbyhorses), something small bought, and a stocking of tiny things it keeps it manageable & our budget under the equivalent of maybe $75USD for 29 people

The family stopped doing official exchanges but that hasn't stop me from making presents for all. This year I am planning a herbal remedy basket. I am making salves, syrups and tinctures. I would love to make a rice neck warmer as well. Our close neighbors will receive the same and others will get a quick bread. I want my kids to learn that good gifts come from the heart and not the store. What a great topic, and many great tips in the comments, thank you all. .-= shelle´s last blog ..Happy Birthday Morgan! =-.

I know, it’s a toss-up… On one hand, I’d love to exclusively buy local. On the other hand, being an expat living overseas, Amazon really does help us out a lot, with shipping and availability.

No doubt, we’ll do most of our shopping with small, mom-n-pop shops. But Amazon is great when there’s something you specifically need, and no one else online has it.
