Ok...so I tried keeping track of everyone's birthdays and sending out cards/gifts only to have it completely overwhelm me very month.
I then switched to automating everything, which was good and bad. Good in that I was no longer overwhelmed with the card/gift sending, bad in that it was not as hands-on as I would have liked.
Solution: A little of column A and a little of column B!
Just like we did with our Secret Santa last holiday season, I've decided to do something similar for birthdays!
So now, we have the new BIRTHDAY SPREADSHEET and I have someone helping me maintain it! So! First, you'll go here to fill out the birthday form (yes, I'm sorry to make you have to do this again but honestly, this was the cleanest/easiest way to do it) and fill it out. Give it a day or two and you'll see it populated on this spreadsheet (without your email or last name visible as we're just using that for verification purposes).
Once you fill out the form, when you're birthday comes up, you'll receive shop credit to my website for a few dollars off your next order (never expires so you can use it whenever) AND if you included your Amazon Wishlist, someone might get you something from it! Just like we did with the Secret Santa. We'll have tabs separated by month to make it super simple to find your info and/or someone's birthday. Pretty cool, right?
