The Nice List: a Thoughtful Christmas Giving Planner
Thoughtful gift-giving is an art; The Nice List helps you become an even better artist.
I love giving gifts. Like you, I spend a lot of time thinking about and finding that perfect something for the special people in my life.
What is The Nice List?
The Nice List is an easy-to-use Christmas gift-giving planner which helps you get organized, save money, and give better gifts. And The Nice List helps you keep track of the gifts you give year after year -- so you never give the same gift twice unless you intend to do it!
But above all else, The Nice List is a gift-giving system.
Put everyone to whom you want to give a gift on one of three lists:
Family: Meaningful Gifts
Friends: Personal Gifts
Work/School: Tokens of Appreciation
Then, using the Budget Worksheet, you set a per gift budget for each category.
Using both the online tools at MidModernMama.com as well as other tools in The Nice List, you can make thoughtful, budget-conscious choices for each person on your list.
The online tools at MidModernMama.com include access to unique gift suggestions, recipes, and exclusive discounts at retailers for gifts that are truly special.
The Nice List is available in three formats: The Nice List Digital Planner, The Nice List Printable PDF, and The Nice List in Print. All three formats include the same planning tools, so you can plan in the way that works best for you!
The Nice List Tools include:
The Family Pages: a place to jot down ideas for those Meaningful Gifts -- even months in advance! No more relying on your memory for that perfect gift that occurred to you in September.
Coupons and Codes: a spot for tracking coupons and discount codes from all of the emails and online discounts common during the season.
List Pages: track which gifts have been purchased, from where, and for how much as well as shipping information.
Gifts Received: write down all of those gifts you receive -- and keep track of the thank you notes you send.
Journaling: The Nice List also has blank pages, gridded pages, and lined pages for notes, journaling, and scrapbooking. Paste in a copy of your Christmas card -- or the cards you receive. Put in some of your favorite photos from the season. Make notes about meal planning -- or record exactly what you made for Christmas Dinner. I am a journaler -- a little bullet journaling, some art journaling, some scrapbooking -- so I designed The Nice List to be flexible and a great place for recording the best of the season.
