Is anyone done Christmas shopping yet?

Tink · 11-04-2007, 09:25 AM

I HATE malls and busy stores, so always try to get my shopping done early and as much of it bought online as I can. My goal was to be half done by last Friday, and I had gotten 15 of 26 people bought for that day. I'm now at 17... so I'm right on target for now.

So is anyone else getting done yet?

I keep wanting to go out, and start shopping for Christmas, but see other things, and forget all about the reason i was at the mall

If I get anything, it will be for my sister, my students and my guys, and three neighbor gifts. If I have time, I'll start painting things for them.

Do you go to Gander Mountain, Tink?

(I want a tiny, featherweight laptop - anyone have Santa's ear cause it will take some intervention from outside my budget for that to happen!)

I wish i had a clue what they want, maybe i should give them a pen, and paper, to make a "wish list"

I keep thinking that I'm going to get out and get started on my Christmas shopping but we've been so busy lately. There hasn't been anytime to go out of town. I do have some ideas on things to get on e-Bay.

I have a few people done, I also have a few other people that I know what I'm getting them, I just haven't gotten it yet. I'm a bit of a planning/always be prepared freak though...

I'm about half way done! I've never started this early, but I am just not up to facing Christmas crowds this year. I'm hoping to be completely done before Thanksgiving!

My two always want presents under the tree so that will be the gift buying..lol I say that for now , catch me in Dec... lol

I have been having great luck lately finding the best prices for things on Amazon. Whether it's books, cookie sheets, supplements, specialty foods or baby gifts, it's been getting my money (when I have any!).

46 shopping days left. I'm not sure if I am ready for all this madness yet.
