I always seem to get caught up in the holiday season and go over budget. The only time I don't is with secret Santa, I do this with my nephews and close friends to help save money. We put a spending limit on the present and then enjoy each other company when every one opens their presents. Great tips! I always seem to get caught up in the holiday season and go over budget.

My wife does this with her moms group and it's always a big hit. I know that kids will love doing the same because they love getting new stuff. We may even try it this year. -John I think the toy gift swap is such a terrific idea. My wife does this with her moms group and it’s always a big hit.

Our daughter isn't old enough to understand Christmas yet, but this is somehting we will keep in mind for the coming years. :) I thought the toy swap was a good idea as well.

Growing up, my mother and I used to love collecting Hallmark Christmas ornaments. Instead of paying full price, we had our own Christmas tradition of waking up early and buying them half off on the 26th. It was always a fun time, we saved money, and it is a graet bonding family tradition we still talk about to this day. Shop for holiday gifts and decorations after Christmas….

There are so many kids on our street and they are all of varying ages. I am pretty sure we could swing this suggestion and get some pretty cool toys for free. I hadn't heard of the Junior Achievement site before I will have to check it out. I like the toy swap idea. There are so many kids on our street and they are all of varying ages.
