Most gift overspending happens because gifts feel like surprises. They aren't: birthdays and holidays come on the same dates every year.
How to set it
- List everyone you usually give to, and the occasions
- Set an amount per gift that feels right
- Add cards, wrapping and shipping
- Divide the total by 12 and set that aside each month
