Christmas Gift Planning Blog

Tips, Guides & Ideas

Fresh stories from our crew about registries, cozy planning nights, and making sure the right cousin unwraps the right sweater.

We share when our family leans on a full registry versus a casual wish list—from matching pajama traditions to secret Santa swaps.

Follow our step-by-step plan for building this year's wish list, from jotting down hints in September to sharing it without spoiling surprises.

We road-test the latest holiday wish list tools—grading each by delight factor, budget smarts, and whether Nana can actually use it.

Turn the wrapping tornado into a relaxed cocoa night with color codes, shared budgets, and one simple cheat sheet the whole crew can follow.
