Honestly I am just so stressed out already and it is not even December yet. Every year the extended family gift exchange becomes this giant headache where everyone keeps texting me individually asking what the kids want and I end up repeating myself like a broken record. I tried making a shared spreadsheet last year—my logic was that everyone could see what was already bought—but it was a total disaster because half the family couldn't figure out how to edit the cells on their phones and my aunt ended up buying the same Lego set my brother already got. It is so frustrating because we live in a tiny place here in Chicago and I really do not have the space for duplicates or huge plastic junk we do not need. I have looked at those registry websites but they feel kinda gimme gifts and I do not want to seem rude or demanding but I am just so tired of the chaos. I was thinking maybe an app? But then I worry about my parents not wanting to download something new or forget their passwords. I am just spiraling trying to figure out a way to coordinate like 15 people without losing my mind or hurting someone's feelings. How do you guys actually handle this without it becoming a second full-time job...
