I watch for things all year long that I know people will like.  I have a box in a closet I put the things in, sometimes these are Birthday or Graduation gifts too!  Then I don't have to get the big hit at the  holidays.  I spend less too, because I buy when they are on sale, and or I have coupons for them, if it is a gift they like who cares if you bought it in July.  LOL     This also makes it where if I don't feel like fighting the holiday crowds I don't have to.   I have a lot of family out of the area, so I can have the Christmas boxes packed and ready to go before it gets so nuts at the post office too.   So you may not believe it, but this a a great holiday stress reliever.   I love the holidays, but I also love to be able to relax and enjoy them.

I haven't done mine yet, but I am starting to look to get ideas about what to buy. I'm glad I don't have to do a lot of Christmas shopping.

I was actually picked up a few little things so far.   This is really a good start for me.  I am usually scrambling as it gets closer to Christmas

I do Christmas shopping all year long. I go to garage and estate sales all year and collect cool things that I think my loved one will love. Its a good way to save a ton of money.

I haven't started yet, but I've thought of it but have no idea what type of presents I want to buy my loved ones. That's a smart idea though! Also, things are cheaper right now. Once Christmas gets closer prices are going to get higher.

I will be getting ready to start christmas shopping. The hardest part is for the kids. Everyone else is easy.
