Keep your eye out for small gifts for teachers and others you need to buy for and start your stash pile now for Christmas. Find a sturdy cardboard box--place it in your closet and start stashing away. Buy in multiplies as well and also buy things that are good for guys or gals. It will be such a blessing!
Also try to really cut your gift list down as much as possible. Getting divorced really helped me in this department. I used to HAVE to buy for every relative....now I am free from that bondage.

Just try to do a little stashing each week---you will be so glad you did!
