Remember to keep things simple. Ordering gifts from catalogs for friends and family makes shopping much easier. You can even request gift wrapping. New mothers would probably love a magazine on parenting, and magazines for children help develop reading skills. Giving this type of gift can help keep you within your budget.
People also appreciate homemade gifts, and they are easy to make.
Try putting soaps or fruit in a pretty basket and tying them up with a bow. To feel less stressed and tired, plan ahead. Simplify your social calendar. Avoid scheduling too many activities, and if you are planning to have a party, stay within your budget. If you're planning a get-together at home, have friends and family bring along a favorite recipe.
