We don't use specific guidelines, but I have a spreadsheet and just fit things in as I plan. We usually limit it to a few small presents per child, and I do try to make it "even." :) It really varies year to year. We will occasionally do a big-ticket item as a family gift alongside some small things for each person. We most often gift craft supplies, books, and then maybe a couple other things each for each child. I am always curious how other families do it too! :)Celestehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05834674328751444179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2682457774245843924.post-64735819349968691992019-11-30T02:59:05.756-08:002019-11-30T02:59:05.756-08:00Thank you for this list!

What about group presents? thank you Celeste!

You are always so encouraging. :) Two of my girls are wearing those headbands as I type, so I hope your girls like them as much as mine do! :)Celestehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05834674328751444179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2682457774245843924.post-48491896841444272622019-11-27T19:23:28.157-08:002019-11-27T19:23:28.157-08:00Thanks so much, Nicole! :) I try to do my shopping...Thanks so much, Nicole! :) I try to do my shopping mostly online too. Not a huge fan of stores during the holidays -- it seems any time of day, any day of the week is a bit of a madhouse! I can't wait to see on Instagram how you live out Advent with your sweeties. <3Celestehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05834674328751444179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2682457774245843924.post-50347753228012950872019-11-27T19:21:58.748-08:002019-11-27T19:21:58.748-08:00Happy Thanksgiving to you too, dear Amy! :)Happy Thanksgiving to you too, dear Amy! :)Celestehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05834674328751444179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2682457774245843924.post-91996391435943353342019-11-26T09:18:30.720-08:002019-11-26T09:18:30.720-08:00I will echo Nicole's comment and say that I lo...I will echo Nicole's comment and say that I love your blog too, Celeste, even though I don't comment often. It's so generous and loving of you to offer all of this helpful information to the rest of us out there, when (I have a feeling) you are a very busy and often tired mama. :) <br /><br />Thank you for these particular suggestions - I just added those floral headbands to my Amazon shopping cart. Surprisingly, they are the same price in Canada, which doesn't happen very often!

With sanity in mind, we're trying to do as much shopping on Amazon as possible, so your links are helpful! <br /><br />I particularly enjoyed reading back over your schooling plans for Advent - I think especially with littles, keeping structure is so important for everyone's sanity, so the touch of tuning it to the season sounds lovely. <br /><br />A blessed season to you all! <br /><br />NicoleNicole Szpilahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08984321817999262861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2682457774245843924.post-17227497910909794702019-11-26T03:59:09.167-08:002019-11-26T03:59:09.167-08:00Loved reading through this, Celeste.

I may tuck a couple away for birthdays. I'm going to go peek at your past Advent posts. Thanks for linking to them. Happy Thanksgiving!Amyhttp://ampine-hearthridgereflections.comnoreply@blogger.com
