The Aussie Christmas Budget & Planning Kit

Aussie Christmas Budget & Planning Kit — $2

Christmas in Australia gets expensive fast — gifts, ham and prawns for the big day, drinks, decorations, and a Kris Kringle on top all add up before you notice. Most people don't realise how much they've spent until the credit card bill lands in January.

This Excel kit fixes that. Set one total budget and watch it track automatically as you fill in your gift list and Christmas Day hosting costs — no manual adding up required. It's built around a real Aussie Christmas (ham, seafood, pavlova, Kris Kringle) rather than a generic overseas template, plus a week-by-week countdown checklist so nothing's left to the last minute. A PDF quick start guide is included, so you're set up in minutes.

For $2, know exactly what you're spending before you spend it — and skip the January hangover altogether.
