Because we have many family birthdays throughout the year, I have tried to always purchase ahead to defray the cost of several birthdays that fall in one month. This year I decided to give three of our family members "a year of gifts". After each holiday, I purchased items for 50-75 off, such as Valentines towels for 75 off, fall placemats, hand lotion, and put them away. I also collected useful but inexpensive items such as paper notebooks, candles, and ornaments as I saw them for sale.

There's way too many in our family to give gifts, so we do not give any body gifts but if we just happen to be together we take them out to lunch, good luck.
That sounds like a really good idea. We have 8 people to buy for (4 kids and their spouses), and this would save us some money! Thanks for the tip!
