Christmas shopping FAQ

What is the best way to keep track of Christmas gifts? +

Keep one list with each person, the gift you plan to buy, what you spent, and whether it is bought, wrapped or given. Add a total budget so you can see what is left. The free Size Notes app does this and keeps each person's clothing, shoe and ring sizes next to their gift.

How do I set a Christmas gift budget? +

Decide a total you are comfortable spending, list everyone you are buying for, and split the total by priority (close family first). Track actual spending against it as you buy, so you notice early if you are going over.

How do I find out someone's clothing size for a Christmas gift? +

Check the labels of clothes they already wear, ask someone close to them, or ask them to share their sizes once in an app like Size Notes so everyone buying for them gets it right. Buy kids' clothes one size up if you're unsure, since they grow quickly.

When should I start Christmas shopping? +

Early November is ideal: you have time to collect sizes, catch Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals, and avoid December shipping delays. Aim to have clothing gifts bought by early December in case you need to exchange a size.

How do I organise a Secret Santa? +

Agree a budget and exchange date, list everyone taking part, and draw names so nobody gets themselves. Our free Secret Santa generator does the draw online in seconds and lets you send each person their match privately.
