Planned giving is where you set aside money for gifts every month. This allows you to buy gifts when they are on sale – ahead of time, saving you money and the last minute scramble to buy a gift. 

With careful planning, you can have a gifts closet stocked with wonderful gifts bought at discounted prices. 

Now, you can ‘shop’ from your gifts closet and enjoy the giving even more, without straining your budget. 

I have developed a website store, https://www.luvitjewelry.com/shop/” target=”_blank” rel=”noopener”>Luv It Jewelry, where I stock a variety of gifts, jewelry, and some clothing items. With access to wholesale warehouses, I can keep item prices to a minimum. It does not just help me; I can pass the savings on to my customers as well.

As you would know, the cost of shipping can blow the budget taking the satisfaction out of finding a bargain. All items in my store come with free shipping.

Note: Shipping to the USA is usually between 12 to 20 days, some items a little longer.

Planned buying takes advantage of lower prices and free shipping.

Therefore, it is essential to plan by make a list of birthdays, anniversaries and all events requiring a gift or items for your own needs.

Allow eight weeks before the event to place your order.

I space my orders by one or two weeks, and then I have the fun of receiving a parcel and looking forward to the next one coming. Be warned this can become a little addictive.

You can consistently make amazing savings using this Planned Buying method. Planned Buying means that spending has already been calculated, and not forcing a last minute raid of other allocated funds to buy a gift.

With planning, you are never surprised when a birthday or Christmas is here already, you will already have the gift.  Buy better for less and never be caught unprepared.

I know families who can now afford to keep extra items on hand for opportunities to give ‘little acts of kindness.’

Now, I can buy gifts that people value, and at the same time reduce our Christmas shopping to between $75.00 and $100.00. That is a saving of around $125.00. 

If you are stressed out by buying gifts because you have tight budget, try planned giving. 

1. Create a gift calendar and include everyone/every occasion that needs a gift. 
2. Decide on a certain amount of money to go for gifts each month. 
3. Buy gifts ahead of time to save money. 

You will be able to shop from your stockpile on each occasion and will enjoy giving more since the strain on your budget is gone.
