Are you done with your Christmas shopping?

How are you doing with your shopping?

I still need to purchase a gift card for my Mother-in-law. That is it! I'm waiting for two gifts to arrive in the mail - otherwise I am done and wrapped!

[olga]

Ive wrapped 3 gifts so far, need to go for a serious christmas shopping, the soonest..

[Mistletoe]

This year particularly, everyone seems to have everything they could want or need. Even after searching online and specialty gift shops I'm still short two stocking stuffers... :elf2:

I have to add that I'm grateful that we don't need or want anything particularly, but darn it, it makes giving difficult!

[steph535]

yes, I am all finished. plus, I have all the stocking candy and have separated it and sorted it already into ziploc bags and hidden them.

[SnowAngel]

Just about...maybe 1 or 2 gift cards.

[ornamentmaven]

I "assigned" my mother-in-law's gift card to my husband to pick up, so I am now technically done! One gift has arrived by mail and am still waiting for one more!

[*Snowflake*]

I have to buy two presents today and then I'm done:elf1:

[olga]

We exchange presents on New Years Eve, so, Im not finished yet, I still have 3 presents to get.

[MinnesotaMike]

This year, for the first time, I did quite a bit of shopping online. I am now officially hooked! It made things SO easy. However, it also made it easy to go over budget! Ooops!

[nefrelin]

I bought everything at www.patprint.co.uk. It is great shop :)

[chocolatechip1979]

I'm almost done with my husbands gifts. Just need my daughters and my best friends and I should be set. I'm sure I will buys a few extra gifts here and there. I just like to give the gift of joy.

[ornamentmaven]

Iplan to start over the summer. I like to be totally done and wrapped by October

[SilverBells]

Haven't even started yet...:giftpeek:

[*Snowflake*]

Haven't even started yet...:giftpeek:

Same:elf1:

[SilverBells]

Got one for my hubby :smitten: and one for my daughter :smitten: Nothing for my little guy yet :smitten:

[ornamentmaven]

Only 1 gift purchased - I'm way behind schedule!

[Bishop1954]

Yes and no. All done is a big "YES", unfortunately one item has been delayed... :elf2:

[snowbell1]

All done here just finished wrapping the last ones,now my son and i will just enjoy the holiday.

[Bishop1954]

Just got to pick up a couple of cards for stocking stuffers, but other than that... good to go. :presents1:

[Mistletoe]

Yes. But something I ordered in the beginning of December has been sitting at the post office in the southern end of our state for 2 weeks and has not moved!

[Bishop1954]

I know how that feels. Something I ordered in November, arrived yesterday. I'll send it today, but obviously it will not be there until after Christmas... :presents3:

[Bishop1954]

Better question in this forum, at this date... Have you begun your Christmas shopping this year? :xmashigh5:

[HighPriestessIce]

I am almost done, just have my other bestie to go. I want to get her one of the vintage barbies she wants, but she plans on shopping for one next weekend. So I have to wait and see what she buys first.

[Bishop1954]

I'm finished shopping for my wife, but I still have several stockings to fill... :xmaswink:

[HighPriestessIce]

I am all done and everyone's gotten spoiled. I can't wait to see my best friend's face when she opens her gift, a 3D printer. And I bought my other Bestie her childhood doll she's wanted to replace since she lost it in a flood. The real struggle is keeping it all a secret from them until We see each other.

[Bishop1954]

Almost, Just a couple more to do this week. Then wrap and mail... :home:

[Mistletoe]

I have to pick one up tomorrow and then I have one more to go (but it's usually the hardest one to figure out).

[Bishop1954]

Just a couple of stocking stuffers to go. I send quite a few stockings each year and did not count properly for the "extras". The good side is the ones remaining are local... :snowman:

You mail them? How nice!

I just found out that we ARE exchanging gifts this year (other than getting for the kids of the family), so I've been researching, shopping and ordering away the last 2 days. Good thing I've continued to collect gift ideas for people over these last 3 years. My father is the last one, but unfortunately really difficult. But it's felt so good to Christmas shop again! :presents1:

Understandable. My favorite when I was growing up, was the stocking. So, I guess sharing them with others is so cool. :presents1:

[Elf_Erv]

I am done. unless. I find some last second bargains.

By the way, I took your idea from the small gift thread- I got my father an electric wine opener. :elf1:

My favorite was always the stocking, too! I love that you do that.

[Mistletoe]

They're so irresistible :presents1:

[Bishop1954]

Last minute bargains are indeed very cool. All done unless I see something at the small store inside the Cracker Barrel tomorrow... :merrychristmas:

[Elf_Erv]

almost, a couple more things to buy :merrychristmas:

[Mistletoe]

I never think of that store! I shall put that on my to do list right now!

[Mistletoe]

I so wish. I haven't even started.

[Bishop1954]

Getting there. Most of the larger items have been purchased. Now just to fill the various stockings... :santa:

[Mistletoe]

No! I need one more small gift for one of my sisters (that has everything). I've got to go browse the stores and see if anything hits me.

[Bishop1954]

Been finished for awhile. Since this morning was my last shift till after Christmas, I wanted to just relax, watch some Christmas movies and enjoy what is remaining of the year's celebration. :tree:

[Elf_Erv]

a few more "stocking stuffers" maybe some last minute bargains :tree:

[Bishop1954]

One gift card for a stocking and then... resttttttttttttttttttt... :xmaswink:

[Mistletoe]

...what is remaining of the year's celebration. :tree:

:crying:

I stopped into Michael's tonight to see if they still had the nutcracker I decided not to buy the other day and then later regretted it. They didn't. Their Christmas stuff was barely there- it was all Spring! :crying:

[Bishop1954]

My best stop is usually Hobby Lobby for that last minute stuff. I am going to the mall today to pick up a pack of Red Vines for the wife's stocking... :home:

[Glossit]

Not yet sadly... What to do ?

[Mistletoe]

Nope. Tried a new gift shop and an outdoor mall last night and there was nothing that fit the bill.

[Bishop1954]

That's the reason I begin so early. So hard to find what you want as the day approaches it seems... Good lick! :elf3:

[Mistletoe]

I did settle on something, but it wasn't what I would have chosen normally.
I had saved ideas for everyone, but then in the moment some of them didn't seem like the right thing this year.
I have to try and solidify things earlier so I don't run into that again (that, and not be sick for half of the run up to Christmas!)
On the bright side, I do have some ideas for next Christmas' gifts. :elf1:

[Bishop1954]

Sorry to hear you were not up to par as the magic day approached. Early ideas are always great. I leave part of my office closet open to store next year's gifts. Already got one... :home:
