Holiday shopping - is that in your budget?

How can you shop for a holiday and still stay within your budget? 
Do you compromise on what you get or do? 
Do you just blow your budget? 

We have 4 daughters, we are big on holidays of any kind....
We don't compromise, we want our girls to feel special you only have that time in your life...
  Our girls are really big into everything and let us know well in advance that there is a holiday coming up.
We just celebrated Valentine's day, and yes my girls are big candy people as well as gifts for their friends.  My challenge how to do this on and not break the budget.  This is what we did.  Everyone got their favorite dish for dinner no matter what it was as long as it was a homemade something.  We did a heart shape cake and frosted with pink icing.  We bought candy and cards at walmart and then discovered that Kroger had them for a less expensive price.  Thankfully we only got one of the girls valentines at walmart and had a coupon for it.   Went to Kroger and got the other girls theirs.
We always have construction paper and supplies etc.  The girls made their sisters and us elaborate cards and paper flowers...  They had Valentines for their friends and the girls did not want for anything.
