Do you find that birthdays just pop up out of no where. Is anyone else like that? Well i've decided to tackle this problem and get organized.  All my families birthdays are between November and December where as my friends are March and May. I like to take the time and get someone the perfect gift but that stresses me out when I realize the birthday is just a couple days away. Especially when you find something good online and it take a few weeks to get here.
   I decided i'm gonna get organized, I just made this template and it seems to be working well as I am able to write down any ideas of gifts and budget money. It allows me to plan ahead as I have the birthdays written down so they will not just pop out of no where. It also allows me to know what I have bought so I don't end up buying the same thing or buying a lot.

 This is just an example on how I am using a chart. You can keep it on your phone, laptop or if you like a more written option than writing in a notebook is always good.
