Made for Holiday hosts and gift-givers (often the family budget-keeper) who overspend every December and want to plan and save across all holiday categories, in Google Sheets or Excel.
Why this one: Covers the whole holiday season, not just gifts: separate category budgets for gifts (per-person), food & groceries, travel, decor, cards & postage, parties/events and charity, all rolling into one total. Adds an auto-calculating sinking-fund savings plan with a 'weeks until Christmas' countdown so an October/November buyer can start saving now, plus a visual dashboard with category progress bars and overspend flags. Works in both Google Sheets and Excel with pre-filled, clearable sample data. A companion to our gift-only tracker rather than a copy.
Plan and save for the whole holiday season, not just gifts, in one Christmas budget spreadsheet for Google Sheets or Excel.
YOU WILL RECEIVE - product.xlsx - a 5-sheet Christmas budget spreadsheet (Start Here, Gift List, Categories, Savings Plan, Dashboard) - how-to-use.pdf - a 1-page quick start guide
The sheets work together: the Gift List tracks per-person gifts with a Left column and an over-budget flag; Categories rolls up every holiday cost (gifts, food, travel, decor, cards, parties, charity) into one total with Left and percent spent; the Savings Plan is a weekly sinking fund with an auto "weeks to Christmas" countdown, running saved so far and still to save; the Dashboard summarizes each category with On Track or Over flags and red overspend formatting. It comes with sample data you can clear and replace with your own.
HOW IT WORKS This is a digital download. After purchase the file appears on your purchases page and in the confirmation email the marketplace sends. Nothing is shipped.
USE TIPS Open product.xlsx in Excel, or upload it to Google Sheets to use it free in your browser. Edit only the typed cells (the sample names, amounts and dates); cells with formulas - Left, Saved so far, weeks to Christmas and the totals - calculate for you, so leave them alone. Start Here lists numbered setup steps. To reuse it next year, clear your Spent and Actual amounts and update the dates.
DISCLAIMER Screen and printer colours can vary slightly from what you see here. For personal use only - no resale or redistribution. Because this is an instant digital file, it cannot be refunded where the marketplace does not allow it.
