I have no idea why I’m posting this late (or early, lol), but here I am. I’m a little happy that I’m going to be able to start Christmas (and belated birthdays) shopping soon, and I wanted to share it with everyone. :)
So, I finally cashed out on four survey websites, and it was all for Amazon gift cards. My cashouts are as follows:
Earnably: $1
Shopkick: $5
Swagbucks: $5
InboxDollars: $40
I already received my Amazon gift cards for Earnably and Shopkick, so I’m just waiting for Swagbucks and InboxDollars. I’m planning to start by adding one belated birthday gift, two Christmas gifts and one stocking stuffer to my cart for my older sister. I cannot seem to get approved for Klarna (not getting into that right now), so if I need her to do it for me later, I won’t have to worry about her seeing her gifts because I’ll have already taken care of those. I’m most likely going to add my younger sister’s belated birthday gift to the order as well. You see, my younger sister’s birthday is August 12th and my older sister’s birthday is August 13th, and our Momma passed away on August 15th. So, I fell behind on the August birthdays for obvious reasons. :’( But now I get to catch up, so yay! :) It’ll probably be a few days before I’m able to place that order though, as I need to wait for my gift cards.
I’m hoping this week to order my 20yr old niece’s birthday gift (from Aug. 5th) and my brother-in-law’s birthday gift (from Oct. 11th) either this week or next week. I’ll be ordering my 12yr old niece’s gift on Monday or Tuesday for sure. I shop for the kiddos before the adults, and the adults understand. And then, I’ll be caught up on my birthday gifts. :)
Outside of the Amazon gift cards, I want to do a little holiday shopping each week (without overdoing it), and I’ll use PayPal’s Pay In 4 and/or Klarna as needed. I don’t wanna overwhelm myself, but I don’t wanna wait until the last minute either. I’ll worry about picking up gift wrap stuff when I start picking up more gifts. I do have a stocking stuffer for my younger sister and best friend; both of which came from Halloween City before it closed for the season haha.
And if I’m lucky, maybe I’ll be able to at least cash out the minimum on a few of these sites again before Christmas. :)
Alrighty, that’s it for this post lol.

You have a great plan there. Hope it works out that way with no issues.
Do you already know the gifts you want to get for them all? (No don't need to say, especially here in case they read the post lol).

Thank yoooou. :)
Unless they have my links saved, they won't see this -- I stopped posting my Gratitude Challenge posts to Facebook when my Mom passed because it was too much. She ALWAYS "liked" it on FB, then she'd read it and tell me if anyone commented. Without her here to do that, I'd rather not trigger my own grief.
For my older sister, I'm ordering two books (one she'll get early because it's a belated birthday gift) off her wishlist, as well as a book sleeve and bookmark. For my younger sister, I'm ordering a pair of leggings from her wishlist for her belated birthday gift, and I'll figure out the Christmas gifts. I want to have the leggings shipped to her house (and later, I'll ship the Christmas gifts here).
I also want to order my 20yr old niece a teddy bear or something off her wishlist as her belated birthday gift. My 12yr old niece is getting a video game off her wishlist for her birthday once I get paid.
These are all just for this online order, I still have a few other things to pick up for them (i.e., stocking stuffers for my older sister). Things are going to be ordered at different times. But I wanted to get my older sister's order out of the way in case she needs to help me with Klarna. This way, I can be sneaky lol.

@tammys85 gotcha! Very understandable that you don't post them there anymore. 
Those are good gifts! Especially since they're on wishlists so you know they'll like them.

I already have my Christmas shopping done. I had already had gotten mine and my best friend's calendars. My mother said she didn't care if I get one this year. I got a diamond painting kit instead, but that present won't be done anytime soon. Plus it's still being shipping here. I got some cat food for Lily (my cat). I may get her a new carrier if I can get some Amazon gift cards saved up. I am finished with Chris's birthday/Christmas present. I will be sealing it tomorrow and hopefully framing it Thursday.
