Thrifty Thursday
Start a holiday gift lottery. As families grow, so does the number of holiday presents you have to buy every year. Instead of breaking the bank to buy for everyone, consider starting a holiday gift lottery. Get everyone together ahead of time and each pick one name from a hat. It’s then your responsibility to buy a nice gift for only that one person. It’s a win/win because everyone still gets a nice present while at the same time saving money.

Hi Cara- I absolutely love this idea. Christmas is a time that many time just breaks the bank- truly. Planning ahead to stop this from happening is a great idea. Especially if you have a ginormous family like I have . My grandma had 12 children so many aunts and uncles and cousins.
Great tip.
Another idea is to regift those things that we will never use -LOL.
Blessings,
Eren

What a fantastic way to cater for everyone – even extended family members. Having 7 kids we know all about trying to give a little something to everyone It all adds up and usually ends up busting the budget.
Cool idea thanks for sharing!
