Help me plan gift and holiday spending. Total I can afford: [TOTAL]. People and occasions: [RECIPIENTS]. Traditions I want to keep: [TRADITIONS]. Past overspending patterns: [PAST_PATTERNS]. Allocate the total across people and categories in a table, with columns Person | Budget | Idea 1 | Idea 2 | Handmade or experience alternative. Include travel, food, and wrapping lines. Create a timeline of when to buy things to avoid last-minute premiums and a rule for when to stop shopping. Offer scripts for agreeing a limit with family or friends. Keep the tone gentle, and suggest the plan stays within the total even if it means fewer gifts. Add a short list of ten low-cost ideas grouped by type (time, skills, experiences, handmade), a template message for proposing a secret-gift exchange or a spending cap, and a post-holiday review with three questions about what worked and what to change next year. Keep suggestions suited to the budget I enter and avoid anything that requires borrowing. Offer education and arithmetic, not instructions to invest. Label any tax or law point [VERIFY], name the [JURISDICTION] it depends on, and suggest I confirm it with a licensed professional.
