Preparing for Common June Family Activities

June is filled with anniversary parties, birthdays, and graduations. This economy has made many of us consider our budgets for gift-giving so here are some ideas to save you money:

1. Prepare a small budget for each family activity. For instance, a total budget of $200.00 may be your desired amount for all family activites.
2. Buy multiple items for the same low costs. Think notepads, calculators, and appointment books.
3. Create small gift baskets for each person instead of purchasing large gifts.
