I'm one of those people who shops year round for Christmas, so I definitely love to be prepared for any event, and this chart works great for that. I often grab small giftable baby items as part of my shopping, and this allows me to track how many I have without digging through the storage bin. I color the pictures as I make purchases, and if I use anything to throw together a gift bag or basket, I just draw a bold line through the previously colored images to note that I've used them. Simple, easy, and stress free!
