About this ebook
If you, like me have family and friends who all seem to have birthdays and anniversaries in the same months of the year, gifting can become a financial problem especially if the gift list is larger than your budget. In order to make gifting a pleasure instead of a constant headache, I have devised a list of suggestions that could help with the budget.
