I try to pick things up throughout the year because my husband is flat rate and his paychecks are normally smaller in the winter.
I have also found some really good deals since it isn't the Christmas rush. If I can miss most of the rush it is so much more relaxing and I am able to find things I know people would like. I don't buy everything but it is nice to know I have som of it done.

yes I have my list of people to buy presents for here on my computer and when I find something nice I buy it now and stack it away in a special box. Plus I write it down on my online list. So I am not one of these running round like a beheaded chicken in December because I still have to buy 20 presents or the like.

I keep a folder on my desktop too. When I am planning on doing some shopping I print it out so I know what I already bought. I put a star next to ideas under a name if it is something I think they would like or something they said they wanted. It makes it so much easier because one Christmas I had 1 person a whole pile and forgot about a couple others. Never again.

I am like you, I look for bargains all the time, and if I see something I want to give someone for a gift, and it s marked way down, I grab it up. i have a closet in my bedroom that is not big enough for our clothes, but my daughters closet is really big, so we share it, but the closet in my room is where I put all my goodies that I have picked up throughout the year. This last February, I was in Wal-Mart, and found and Cabbage Patch Kid that had been marked down to 12 dollars, and I thought<
"man my daughter will love it, when I got to the register, I only paid 9 dollars for it, gotta love a good bargain.

Wow, that is a great deal! I have a plastic bin I keep in the attic for things that it doesn't matter if it gets hot or not. If it has batteries we have a cubby under our bed and I keep that stuff there. I know it will get harder to hide stuff when they get older.

I have started thinking about what to get for some people, but haven't bought anything yet. I love doing things early! Last year was the first time that I had all my shopping done by the first of December. I did pick up a few extras here and there though. It was nice having it all done! Going to try to make that a goal this year too.

I hope to have most of my shopping done by then too. I feel so accomplished if I have everything bought and just need to set aside time to wrap everything.
I am trying to think of ideas for everyone now. Also checking online for good deals so I can place an order and get some shopping done that way.

I like getting my gifts from online too. Alot of times you can find unique things that way too!
