I just learned a tip from my mom that blew my mind! She was a single mom of 3, worked full time, AND volunteered her time so we could live in a co op development. So money was always tight. I knew she would buy little presents throughout the year and hide them for Christmas (and sometimes forget where she hid them, lol) but one thing I never realized when I was a kid was her trick for giving me a larger number of gifts: She would buy gift sets or toys with lots of parts, and break them down and wrap parts separately. So, she might buy an arts and crafts kit, but wrap the paints in one package, pastels in another, etc. So I always got to open many gifts and felt like I got 8 gifts when it was really just one gift xD
That woman is a genius, I tell you.

said there isn't a handbook on parenting or life, but from the last 3 hours of your videos, I have watched you have proved them wrong! You have given me so much guidance and I am happy to have stumbled upon your videos! OMG, my eyes are burning. After each one, I say 'last one', but then there's another great video !! You are amazing Jordan Page!!! I am a single mom to a 2-year-old and I cannot wait to apply a lot of the things I've learned tonight... Now, the last one lol

[HeatherOdeh]

Thank you for actually doing low cost stocking stuffers! I am sick of bloggers who encourage stocking stuffers that are like $50 Plus dollars!

[emilyjean]

When I was little, once the Sears catalog arrived in the mail.. it was on. I'll go through and circle all the stuff I wanted and put stars near the stuff I really really wanted. ;)

I'm not even a parent yet and that taking a picture with a gift tip has blown my mind. I'm about to be in stores taking selfies with stuff to see if I end up really needing it 😂

[annaskywords]

It takes a brave family to share so many details of your lives. I do learn a lot so from the bottom of my heart thank you !

[granitemoss]

Love that you put out, up front, no shaming of ANYONE. While I have not seen any shaming for those spending less, on some vlogs, people seem to feel free to shame the big spenders. And like you say, it's different for every household, and if a household can afford and chooses to go big, that's their business.

We were a college family when I was little. We lived in the family housing at BYU. My mom didn't work and my dad was a full time student who worked over night. We would get food from Santa. It was usually special food that was more expensive then our every day things. Large boxes of cereal or special shaped macaroni and cheese. We then spent weeks bartering with our food. If I wanted a bowl of my sisters cereal I had to give her some of mine. If mom asked what we wanted for dinner someone would say, "make my mac n cheese" It was a fun way to learn to share and it didn't feel like we were missing any gifts. We did the same thing for long road trips. Each of us would have our own box of snacks and books that we would trade and share on the long rides across country to visit family.

For our kids, I buy my toilet paper and paper towels at Target when they offer the gift cards. By thanksgiving I normally have $150-200 in cards. We divide them up between the four kids, and have them buy for each other.
I will also use old navy cash, Kohl’s cash, meijer perks, and any Ebates payments. Oh, we have a survey company here, so I will go do taste testing or product testing, those gift cards go into my Christmas funds also.
Yes, we do Santa- but it is normally a family present. Last year it was the WiiU, but this year it is restocking our board games and a few little extras.

My mom and dad does something you want, something you need, something to wear, and something to read, from each parent! An easy way to keep it simple.

[mariaholidayhomes]

I'm not a parent I'm just watching this because your awsome

[amandanicole]

I wish from day one that I started Santa gets a medium size gift because he has been getting all the credit!!!

[opchick]

Taking a pic with your kids and stuff they want...thats the best idea i've heard in a loooong time.

I watched this video 2 years ago when you uploaded it, but didn't implement your advice that year. I was already a gazillion presents deep for each kid but was feeling frustrated and kind of grumpy about the holidays. This year I implemented my own version of your advice, and we stuck to getting each of our 4 kids 1 large/expensive gift from their wishlist's and then 3 smaller/inexpensive gifts to go with it. We woke up Christmas morning with 12 presents under the tree. It was the best and most stress free Christmas we have ever had. My kids LOVED just getting the 4 gifts, and never complained once. I wasn't stressed out trying to buy a bunch of filler crap gifts just for the sake of buying more stuff and it made my shopping a breeze. Now if only I could get my extended family on board to scale back for our larger family Christmas, things would be mint! THANK YOU for the great ideas and advice. This is something anyone can implement no matter if your Christmas budget is $50 a child or $500.

We noticed last year that it's hard to keep the magic of Christmas once your children are older (mine are 18 and 14). Because we have what we need and most of the wants we decided to change it up--we gave the kids and ourselves $100 dollars from the house fund for Christmas gifts PERIOD. The stipulations were that you could not go over the $100 and no lists were to be given, you had to watch and listen for gift idea's. I now had only $33.33 per person, as did they, to spend (NOT gonna lie this was hard!!). However, you haven't lived until you see your children pacing with excitement over you opening the gifts From them. This is our second year and the intrigue (trying to combine with someone else to get Daddy the ... he wants etc...) and the joy of seeing that we've been blessed with young adults who love to give probably more that receive has been The Best Christmas Gift since the birth or our Savior Jesus.

Do this video again this year! I’d love to see how it’s changed wit more kids.

[GBunnyG]

I would love to see an updated version with the three new babies 😊

Honestly you have the best tips, but I also love your relationship dynamic. I know it isnt always the same off camera but it makes me really happy that he seems really interested in every part of parenting even stuff that is "traditionally" for moms. You guys support each other in your interests and I love it. Thats how it should be.

My 6 year old was watching with me and said, "Really? Santa can bring cash? I want cash." I burst out laughing. Love this and love that you set a very reasonable budget. We have 7 kids, 4 of which are 13 and older so their wants are pretty big. We budget $200 each for our older kids and the 3 younger ones we budgeted $150, but so far we've come way under. Have a very Merry Christmas Jordan, Bubba and family.
