Planning Your Gift Budget

Setting a gift budget prevents overspending during the holidays and ensures fair allocation across recipients.

Suggested Allocation

  • Family: 60% of budget (immediate family gets more per person)
  • Friends: 25% of budget
  • Coworkers/Others: 15% of budget
  • Average per Person = Total Budget / Number of Recipients

    The National Retail Federation reports that the average American spends about $900 on holiday gifts. Setting a budget and list beforehand reduces impulse spending.

    计算示例

    $1,000 annual budget for 8 family, 5 friends, 3 coworkers.

    1. Total recipients = 8 + 5 + 3 = 16 people
    2. Average per person = $1,000 / 16 = $62.50
    3. Family budget = $1,000 x 60% = $600 ($75 each)
    4. Friends budget = $1,000 x 25% = $250 ($50 each)
    5. Coworker budget = $1,000 x 15% = $150 ($50 each)
