<p>Some people start planning since the beginning of the year - setting aside a small amount monthly, some end up spending large sums as the season comes. What are the best strategies that have worked for you?</p>

<p>Firstly we set a reasonable amount. This means that amongst our families we have decided that adults won't get each other gifts, only kids get gifts. With that simple limitation we can save a good deal.</p>

<p>My wife loves looking for bargains, so we tend to shop throughout the year. We don't buy a lot, but if we see something that would make a good present at a good price, we'll pick it up. We find that this dramatically reduces the amount we spend during the proper holiday season.</p>
