Where Do You Christmas Shop...

I think of what I want to buy before I go for gifts is is usally Walmart or Kamrt for ornements and such I go to Big lots

Most years I try to hand make the majority of my presents and such. When I do purchase mostly Walmart and Dollar General (both have great prices and selection - and I have others to choose from but shop there).

There isn't one place that I do stuff.
This year so far I did my shopping on Amazon.com.

But typically I go to places like Target and/or walmart for pretty much everything.

I always forget about dollar stores. Personally I wouldn't get christmas gifts for people there because they don't have much that my family would want. but I do actually plan on going to the dollar store today to look for decorations.

The deco's i tend to make impulsive bying in whatever store I happen to find anything I fancy, i.e supermarked, hardware etc. For the gifts i will get most of it online as it is possible to save between 30-50% on your shopping. Furthermore it is open when it suits you, you have the best selection you can ask for and finally there is no que.

I prefer to make things for people. I have made bracelets for my roomie & my sister, a necklace for my neice & I'm going to pick out something or make one for my brother's girlfriend.

Mom doesn't need "things" so I'm kind of at a loss as to what to do for her - maybe some kind of food treat. I'm going to wait till xmas so my sis & I can go in on a gift for my bro & she's going to help me pick out what to give our uncle as well since she knows his size/wants/tastes better than I do.

I've also been making somethings for the roomie to give as gifts (yes, she'll pay me a bit.) But I'd probably have made them anyway for something to do.

We dont have too many store options here where I live
So most of our shopping is done at Walmart
There are a few things that we have to go elsewhere like Bath and Body Works or JCPenney
I can do most of my kids rather quickly but my husband and other family members are a little more dificult to buy for

I went shopping at Walmarts on Friday and got it all almost done. I also went to Big Lots and got a few things too. I love the Dollar General, we have one of those stores too. Now I only have to get 1 more thing and I am done. I put off the wrapping of the presents till the last minute. I do try to find gifts that suit the person, I put alot of thought into each gift. I love to find stuff that is perfect for each person. Good luck shopping.

I do a lot of shopping online, but this year, I must admit. I bought 7 gifts at an Ace Hardware store. It was on way to work on Black Friday and I was in and out in about 5 minutes. I think it was one of my most efficient shopping trips ever.

I do a lot at WalMart as well. If you have a Kirkland's near by..they have nice stuff at a very reasonable price.

And if you buy clothing for kids..check out a Steve and Barry's - You can get down jackets for $15 and under over there and if the kids lose or destroy them - no big deal. It is nice quality stuff too. Hoodies that can't be beat for the price - also under 15, as are their jeans. In some way's they make WalMart look expensive.

Big Lots is a good store for getting things like wrapping paper, ornaments, things like that. The Dollar Tree here does have some ornaments but most of them are pretty plain.

Once in awhile I splurge and get a keepsake ornament that I can hand down to kids and grandkids.

I usually shop at Walmart also. I go there for groceries and everything else, so when it comes to Christmas items, I look there first.

We have a Dollar General right down the road from our house. If I am in need of something quick, I will go there. I love their after holiday sales! I hit the 90% off this summer and bought a bunch of gifts for Christmas for hardly nothing!
