Title: How Many of You Have Started Your Christmas Shopping Yet?
Post by: nickjsmom on November 06, 2010, 01:05:38 pm
I hate to admit it, but I've almost finished mine!  I'm one of those early shoppers, who loves to take advantages of the sales when I find them (as well as the money, when I have it! :)  I've got a couple of layaways down for my kids, and when those are finished being paid off, I'll be done! 

What's everyone else's status as far as holiday shopping goes?

I used to be an early shopper but do not have the time now that I am working.  I did finally start yesterday and bought a couple gifts.  Thankfully, we only buy for the kids in our family but it still get's harder each year.

I have about a 1/4 of my shopping done. With the economy the way it is I have to stretch it out over a few months. Can't wait til the last minute or it will be very limited.

I haven't even started thinking about it.  Money is so tight these days, it is hard to get excited bout it.  Know what Imean?  I always say I will start in July but never ever do.  Well, procrastinatin is my middle name.

mostly my gifts are handmade, and yes, I have started gathering ideas and finding the necessary repurposed materials.  I do require a decent amount of lead time in the process.

I have got quite a bit of it done already.  I like to start early so I can get it done and not fret over things.

I've got about 1/4 of my shopping done.  My kids are going to make homemade presents for their grandmas this year.  I've got the materials, but we haven't done them yet.  Do any of you with kids give their teachers a present?

I have not started shopping or thinking of Christmas yet.  I think I am still in September lol.  Well the rest of the year is going to fly by now.

Whenever my brother and I were young, we would give our teachers presents, but they were always small things like a notepad or something teacher related.

I've got about half done. I try to shop throughout the year now so the cost is spread out instead of all at once. We used to wait until the day before because we travel to my parents house and it was hard to pack everything especially breakables, but then it was hard to find what we knew we wanted because that store wouldn't have it or sold out. That was too aggravating, but much better now the way we do it, just a bigger vehicle is all you  need! LOL ;)

I have done a little because I went to the World Series and got souveneirs for my family.  :) Otherwise, I actually started my wish list today and I should receive my family's wish list within the next week or so and will try to finish up! I usually procrastinate big time on it, so trying something new this year!

I regret we haven't started our Christmas shopping yet. We are currently financially challenged, so we tend to put it off till later. But, we have grandchildren that don't understand so we will need to start soon.
