Almost Done!

I am almost finished with my Christmas shopping which is a good thing because as long as I am Christmas shopping I am more adept to spending more money on other stuff too. I have spent so much money and I am mad at myself for it, money on non Christmas related stuff.
However, now that I am reaching the last people on my list I am feeling happy and more confident in avoiding spending money unnecessarily. I will be buying a gift for each of my two best friends in Philadelphia. Then I will order my husband's gift and I will get my son a gift while we are in Philadelphia. I am making it a point to be able to keep plenty of spending money for when we visit my family in Philadelphia because I want to have fun and not worry about not having enough money after my visit for things when I get back. Hopefully, my husband gets a job soon so some of the pressure financially is off of us.
For one of my bet friends I will be getting her some of those makeup brushes that look like tooth brushes. They seem to apply makeup very well and she loves to put make up on. For my other best friend since she is an anime lover like me I am hoping to find her something cute like a shirt, jacket, or bag based on an anime she likes. I'll be getting my husband a shirt of his favorite anime too. Once that is done I will have finished my shopping with the exception of my son.
Have you finished shopping? What are you getting for the most important people on your list?

I only buy two gifts each year. One for my best-friend and my fiance. I already got my best-friend's gift. This year I think I'm giving three of my mother's books to my fiance. He has been liking Stephen King lately. I may buy him a dvd set later on.

Nope, we have only gotten one gift for our son because it's getting here too late for his birthday. We have a lot to do! We're not going to be able to start until after Thanksgiving though financially. =(

im sorry, it is the thought that counts no matter when people grab the gifts and no matter what it is.
