Every year I use a mini photo album and place the names of the gift recipients on an index card and place in each sleeve. When I purchase their gift I put the receipt behind the index card. This way if there gift needs to be returned I am not searching for it. I think I am going to make another one to start using next year to log the birthday purchases. I will put the names in Birthday order for that album. For the Holiday Album I categorize it by family.
I started using this method back in the day when I went Prom shoppng. I put all the receipts to my dress, accessories, makeup, etc in the photo album. I babysat ALOT to pay for what I wanted. My parents didn't have much money back then so it is nice to reflect on how I spent my money for that day.
ANYWAY I really thought that was a cool way to keep track of purchases. I slacked last year because of moving out of state but I am ready to get it started again.
