buy in bulk to save
Consider buying everyone the same item, or same type of item. Umbrellas, notebooks, scarves, etc come in a wide variety of colors and styles--and if you buy the same "type" of gift for the different people on your list, you will save both time (only going to one store), and money( buying in bulk can save you cash).
