Missy’s Holiday Template

Gift Tracker & Mailing Address Template

We love to share resources that help you become a more efficient and effective school leader. But this December, we are keeping the spirit of support while shifting the focus a bit. Instead of a work tool, Missy is offering something she uses in her own life every holiday season. It is a simple Gift Tracker and Mailing Address Template, and it brings structure to two things that often feel more scattered than they need to be: gift planning and holiday cards.

What’s Inside the Template

Gift Budget Sheet

Your main overview for holiday gifting. Track each recipient, your gift idea, estimated and actual cost, and a quick status for purchased, wrapped, or delivered. A small notes field helps you keep links and details in one spot.

Rolling Gift Ideas Sheet

A place to capture ideas throughout the year. Jot down the recipient, idea, store or link, and any notes. When December comes around, you already have a list to pull from.

Repeat Gifts Sheet

A short list of reliable go to items. It is perfect when you need quick inspiration or want to avoid starting from scratch.

Master Mailing Address Sheet

Your updated list of names, addresses, and notes for holiday cards. Once this sheet is in good shape, sending cards becomes simple instead of stressful.

How to Use It

Start by tidying up your address list. Then move to your gift planning by transferring ideas from the Rolling sheet into the Budget sheet for this year. Use the Repeat Gifts sheet when you need fast ideas. Update the Budget sheet as you shop so everything stays clear and current.

A Simple December Helper

The Gift Tracker and Mailing Address Template is straightforward, flexible, and easy to reuse every year. It keeps the most time-consuming parts of the holidays organized in one file so you can focus on enjoying the season rather than managing it!
