I started one when I was in 5th grade :eek: and I've yet to complete it :dizzy:

Haven't started shopping for Christmas yet.

I have brought a present for my sister in law and hubby. Im going to be making my mum a jumper. Im planning on being on one of those annoyingly smug people who get everything done and sorted early so i can relax and watch other people. Plus i will be 31 weeks pregnant at Christmas Eve so wont want to be running around like a loon. :elf1:

To early for me, I like running around at the beginning of December.
We don't buy for anyone and the grown up kids like to have money but I do try
and sneak a few prezzies for under the tree..:christmastree:

I have always enjoyed being ALMOST done way before Christmas. I do save a few purchases and the stocking stuffers for mid-December. Then I go to the mall sit on a bvench and enjoy watching the other shoppers run around while I don't have to worry about standing in long lines.

This is the perfect time for purchasing a Christmas gift, as it is not too early nor too late. If you buy a gift today it can be bought in acceptable price range, but as you delay in this and Christmas come nearer the price of gifts may jump a lot. So, better to purchase it now.

Same here. Get it done and then relax as much as possible. Having a severe sight impairment I don't do crowds very well, and they don't do me very well! (How can you not notice a 70cm symbol cane?! You're the ones who can see well!)

I bought a talking book and a pink-poodle back pack for my almost 3 year old grand niece. My needlepoint project - which is a gift for my Mom is nearing completion!

Gorgeous and a lot of work! Isn't it counted cross stitch rather than needlepoint?

I started already, mostly online though. I find it makes it easier on the wallet. Not to mention better selection!

I've started thinking about what I want to get people, but I haven't actually started buying anything yet. I probably won't do any real Christmas shopping until the first weekend in December.

I have already bought a few presents for my mother and grandmother on Cyber Monday. I always try to save money :)

In gift category one can only design some gift cards by own. For designing gift items one should have to expertise in that field.
So, I only prefer designing cards.
