i am trying to shop ahead of time too, erin.

so far i have only bought 3 gifts - i found some HSM messenger tote bags for my friend's girls for $3 each at the target clearance.  last week, i found DS & Wii games on clearance at my target - i got my nephew kung fu panda for DS for $10.  they also had dora and some other cool games for $10 or less.

i'm going to keep my eye out for good deals fo sho this year!

I have no idea yet what we are doing for Christmas.  I did get an email from Disney outlet and if you watch, you really can get quite a bit of stuff for not much.  Right now you get an additional 35% off on the last call items when you use the code LASTCALL.  I know they have a neat bambi snow globe on there, a princess night gown, a variety of princess shoes, and some other things.  I thought about ordering but I seem to have trouble not giving it to E right away.

 That's my problem too!! I would like to shop early, but knowing me, I will just end up giving her the gifts and then having to go shopping again.

My grand plan is to always buy a gift or two a week and it never happens.

I do buy more when I do shop over a span of time.

However, I am going to try to stick to a plan this year and also get my shopping done somewhat early. I mean some I cannot do early, but the most part I can start to get the girls done and Rich.

Rich is my hardest one. Everything he now wants is out of my budget. He is a hard one to shop for.

What does everything think they will be getting this year.

I see lots of Littlest Pet Shop in my future.

April this is my problem as well.  I have been thinking of getting started early this year as well, except I have no idea what to buy them.  They don't need anything and I'm tired of buying stuff just to have somethng to give.

I know I am going to buy Anna a bike but I have no idea's at all for Lauren.

Allison needs nothing. I plan to clear out and donate some stuff to the childrens home this year. I am going to have her pick some things and take her with me to give to the children.

The only thing I know she wants are the Little Pet Shop stuff. Other then that I am stumped as well.

I think some new music CD's. She listens to them every night and is in need of some new ones.
