Part 1 Getting $300 worth of Christmas/b-day gifts for less then $30

    Well everyone I know this maybe something you aren't thinking of though I thought I share with all of you. How in the World do I pull off a 300 Christmas Gift or birthday gifts for less then $30. Well for starters I start now arming myself with notes and start watching for specific items.
 Here is How I do it....

1. First I write down everything from Christmas to birthday's coming up and label it under one family.
2. Second I get everyone sizes-shoes, clothes, etc.
3. Third I write down notes on ea individual what they are wanting.  I also include if a child is going to school or not.
4. Lastly I write down if I am going to donate for toys for tots, care packages, etc. 

Here is an example of what my list looks like:
2-care packages

•  college students
• razors, bodywash, snacks, etc.
• Toys for tots
• Toys
•  Christmas Stocking
• I find toys then matchup to a child

• size 3T,  shoe size 4
• I am their aunt so I can give them underwear, socks etc. ;)
