It’s the same every year:
You can’t remember that toy you wanted to get for your
child. You recall seeing it on the shelf once and saying “I’ve got to get that
for little Tommy for Christmas!”
Then on Black Friday you’re racking your brain for that
particular item.
Poor Tommy.
It used to happen to me all the time but I have a quick tip that
has solved my problem.
Use your cellphone.
I’m not kidding.
When I see something and can’t pick it up right away, I
enter it on my cellphone.
On the date of Black Friday, I enter the child’s name and
the toy/object/clothing I want to purchase. This way when I am searching the
web for the best discounts, I know what I’m looking for. I have even included
my husband in the process. I tell him if he sees anything he wants to get the
kids or if they tell him something they would really like--to let me know. I plug it into the date on my calendar and it’s
all there! This works for birthdays, too!
Some use their notepad feature or other app on their phone
but I find my calendar is the easiest way.
I will make the suggestion of routinely backing up your
phone. If it’s good for your contacts, it’s good for your lists!
