Tips for Christmas Shopping on a Budget
Set a per-kid budget: Decide how much you'll spend on each child before you start shopping.
Buy multi-packs: Sets like the 19-piece squishy pack or the chick 6-pack can be split into several small gifts.
Pick gifts that last: A night light or pajamas gets used every day, which makes it great value.
Shop early: Popular toys sell out in December, and last-minute shopping often means paying more.
Think stocking stuffers: A few small gifts can feel just as exciting as one big one.
