How to Save Money on December & Christmas Birthdays

C.B. Jones
I feel bad for people who were born in December. They often get stiffed by loved ones who make feeble attempts to combine the celebration of a birthday, with Christmas. That's messed up. Instead of getting double the presents from people who claim to love you, they instead get the same amount as everyone else. If you really appreciate someone, but don't want to spend double the money trying to illustrate that to them, The To Be Continued gift strategy is for you!

What are To Be Continued gifts?
Give gifts in parts. TBC makes it possible for all presents to become some assemble required .Birthday: Hey look, it's a rear view mirror with the Pontiac logo on it. This is nice...I guess... Christmas: Holy crap, it's a car without a rear view mirror! How did you know I was in serious need of this particular item?? Happy Yule tide to ye!

The TBC strategy of gift giving is all about building suspense. The best thing you can do is geve people a reason to stay hyped about what your plans are. To Be Continued gifts are perfect for those who were born in December. You can still celebrate their birthday,while at the same time preparing them for the big pay off Christmas day.

Of course, there are certain gifts that don't work well under the guise of TBC. When buying your wife a diamond necklace, don't pluck out the stones and give it to her. If you're a kid who wants to make a card for his parents, don't surprise them with a bowl of glitter and dried macaroni. Pets not To Be Continued items. Nobody wants to open a box full of fur.

Great TBC items include: Electronics, furniture, sports equipment, homemade gifts and antiques. Try to avoid festive sweaters at all costs. Only 5% of the worlds population enjoy receiving sweaters as a gift at any time during the year. It's the thought that counts...But money would have been better if that was your best thought overall.

Money is extremely versatile. That's why it's the perfect To Be Continued gift. With money, you possess infinite possibilities when it comes to splitting it up into multiple gifts. In theory, you can extend TBC to being a year round thing. It' all depends on how much money you have to give. My grandparents have used To BE continued money for many years how, and it never gets old.
