I have a total of about 70-80 individuals to buy for with about 1/3 or so of the recipents who will be getting more than one gift. I purchase presents year around for different occassions-birthdays, thank you gifts, Christmas... As of right now, I have more than half of my Christmas gift list completed. And, I have already sent out some gifts to friends who will hold onto their presents, and will not open them till Christmas. I do not like to deal with the long lines at the post office during the holiday season.

I have about 70-80 people on my gift list with about 1/3 or so of them receiving multiple presents. I have already completed buying more than half of my presents, wrapped some of them, and also sent out some presents to friends who will hold onto them until Christmas. I do not like dealing with the lines at the post office during the holiday season.

Done?! HA! I haven't even started! But I'm one of those people who kind of gets an adrenaline rush from the last minute shopping! LOL

I have one done for my daughter.
That's all for now. The family wish lists come out around late Oct. so then I start planning.

No shopping yet. I have been thinking about some gifts especially for some of the nieces and nephews. I don't want to give money/gift cards so looking around to see what I could get. If I need to with the older ones, I'll get gift cards. We'll see.
edit - I did buy a book for my daughter.... a book about daughters. :razz:

I finished buying gifts for my nieces & nephew Saturday. I only have six gifts and three stockings to buy for now, not including what Santa brings for DD & DH.
I feel much better now!

:tree:Christmas is sure creeping up fast. Yesterday my husband and i went shopping at Kohl's. They had a great sale and i also had a coupon for an additional 15% off. I found a nice bathrobe for my sister for christmas, and a comforter set for my step son and his wife. I have more shopping to do, but it feels good to have some gifts purchase. I also have a gift for my husband coming by UPS.

If you know what you need, there are good sales going on now. I got at least 40% off on most of the clothes I bought last week for gifts. I like being able to get "more" for my money!

I just started today. I bought a latch hook that I am going to make for my new MIL. She loves lighthouses and decorates the whole house with them, so I got a lighthouse latch hook. I'm going to start on it tonight.

I am about halfway through my shopping this year. But soon as I think I am finished I will think of something else I have to do. I know me.
