Who started there holiday shopping???

I have! I love having all of my shopping done before the craziness of black friday (and every weekend after that) sets in. People get CRAZY! I tend to avoid the malls alltogether a month or so before and after the holidays..Just because they're so cramped - and lines are ALWAYS too long. A good idea, that I've done in the past, is giong "shopping" at an inconspicuous time (when barely anyone else is) - at 10am on a monday. Or some time like that. I probably have about half of my gifts so far! Go us! I love being prepared, because then while everyone else is stressing out over it..We've already got it taken care of.

Usually I am a last minute shopper too.Then I am complaining that all of the good stuff is gone and have to fight off all of the other procrastinators like myself!!
This year will be different though,as I am going to go shop when I receive my paypal money.It should be in the next couple weeks, so I am really eager to go get started.I will not have it all done with it, but the majority of it! That;s great for me,since usualy I shop on the 23rd!LOL!

I have gotten presents for my 2 nieces and my 1 nephew...they all got one book and a stuffed animal that goes along with it...for exmaple...my nephew is getting "If you give a Moose"...something, lol. And he is also getting a stuff moose. My nieces are getting the similar cat and pig books along with a stuffed animal.

That's all I've gotten so far, I do have more shopping to do!!

I started my shopping awhile ago. I have two people on my shopping list gifts already. I didn't plan that far in advance I just saw things and decided to buy them because I was sure they'd be appreciated and great, wonderful gifts. I like to start my shopping as early as I can. I hate shopping at the last minute. I'm not that kind of person. Sadly, the past few years meant I had to shop late because as a college student I never had any time to really get shopping until I was out of school.

Since I've graduated and I'm working and on my own I have the ability to get out there and shop when I get the chance. I have more opportunities to get out there and shop without the people around that I'm shopping for. Also, I'm taking more advantage of the sales online to buy items that I know people would find useful. I like finding whatever way I can to save money.

I am done pretty much with all the holiday shopping. For my youngest and middle child, I got a joint gift of the wii which was on sale. They each got a game to go with it too that they like. I also got my youngest an action figure and my middle child a nerf gun thing. My daughter wants her room done over in Teenager colors. So I got her that which we will do during the holidays. I don't really buy anything else as I can't really afford it. I will pick up a few small things but basically I am done which is a great relief as I need to save my money big time to get another car.

I do not exchange gifts with friends because it is difficult to get together on the holidays. I will buy things for my mom but we were talking yesterday and i suggest we keep a one small cheap gift limit. I would rather we go someplace nice the week of Christmas and have lunch. I am no longer working in an office so really do not need clothes.

I used to be a last minute shopper and it was really stressful for me. Christmas is a tiring season for me, actually, because I shop with everybody else. I decided to change that and I have already started shopping for gifts. I have already bought toys for the kids on my list and some items for the adults too. I think I will be able to save more this way. I can compare prices and look for less expensive, but nicer, gifts.
Have a nice day!

I have already started my Christmas shopping. I have already made my list of who to buy for, what to buy and how much to spend. With the economy being so bad it has been hard for me to get it started. I have been looking for work and have had no luck. I am also making homemade gifts for some family members and will not be able to start making these items until it gets closer to the holidays because I will be baking.

I usually do my christmas shopping early, as in Christmas shopping in July. I make my list and then I prepare the shopping schedule because some of my gifts are handmade (but all have my personal touch). However, this year, all the gifts I bought were destroyed by Typhoon Ketsana. I have to do my shopping again after I finish cleaning my house. My family, friends and clients will have to settle for store-bought gifts this year.

I really need to get the shopping started sometime soon..I do most of my Xmas shopping online so I need to have time for evertyign to get here etc..plus I hate waiting til the last minute..I actually finally started the list yesterday though
