The Simple 4 Gift Method + Care's Gift Guide For 3 Budgets & 3 Ages - With Love Me Do Baby

The holidays can feel overwhelming, with the need to buy buy buy and spend spend spend. It can be hard to know where to start, and more importantly, where to stop! I like to use a simple method for gift giving with a goal of buying less, buying right, and giving thoughtfully. With just 4 simple categories (+1 extra our family added), you can check your kids off your list quickly, and on any budget!

To make gifting easy stick to the little rhyme: "Something You Want, Something You Need, Something To Wear, Something To Read.”

These 4 gifts are more than enough (plus one from the big guy in red). Our kids get lots of gifts from other relatives, and really don’t need much. Our family added a 5th gift “Something To Give” to ensure we’re each finding ways to support our community, and give back during the holiday season, and throughout the year. See below for some of my favourite charity’s to support.

I’ve partnered with Love Me Do Baby & Maternity, one of my favourite local shops, to bring you examples of how you can shop for 3 different age ranges, and 3 budgets using this simple method. Scroll down to check it out. Simply click the images to shop any of the products you love. You can always mix and match at the price points that works for you.

As a little something special, make sure you use code: WithCare online or in-store for 250 bonus Love Me Do Loyalty Points (points = future purchases!) when you spend $50 this holiday season.
