Christmas shopping update updates
Permalink  
 


I couldn't find the other thread so I'm starting a new one.

Where is everyone now?

Has everyone started their shopping? If not, do you have a list? Is anyone completely finished? What is left?

How is the stash looking?

Did you have trouble finding that particular thing?

Did you end up with too much?

Nobody has any shopping updates?

I thought I was finished with EVERYTHING, stocking stuffers included, yesterday.

Then I got home and realized I had forgotten the people we drew at Thanksgiving.

We got Glen's brother-in-law and his cousin.

I kept telling my mom not to let me get anything else for Mark because I had way more for him than Henry. Once I started wrapping gifts yesterday, I realized that I actually have more for Henry. Oops. So I took one thing out to wait for his birthday.

I'm done with my mom and dad, with Glen, with the kids.

I need to bake some cookies or bread or something for my aunt and uncle.

We have to buy some booze for Joe's cousins gift (swap), and I need to take Joe's other cousin swap gift to the sports store to get a transfer put on it. (It's a football shirt from the hs in True Blood, so we're getting her favorite characters ln on the back.)

Anyways, I'm totally done outside of running Joe's errands. And I'm pretty sure he hasn't started, lol. But it's fine.

I have a layaway in that I haven't gotten out yet, so I'll be wrapping at the last minute like always, but that's okay.

I've been done for a while. I usually try to finish my shopping by Thanksgiving to avoid the crowds.

The kids are done.  I still need to figure out a big gift for John, and some things for my mom.

I think I'm going to order my brother a pork roll from Jersey.

John got his parents a Nook from Barnes and Noble.

I am in decent shape.

Girls done

still have to get rich a few things and then our 2 gift exchange gifts, boss, work party gift, give room moms money for teacher gift, cousin and rich's parents. Geeze, still sounds like a lot, but we have a lot to buy so it is not bad.

I think I'm done, except I need to get something for my brother. Oh and 1 exchange gift for a kid.

Other than that I should be done. Things keep popping up though. Ugh! I don't want to go to anymore stores!

I thought I was done with Ethan but remembered I like to buy him an ornament so I need to get that.

Need to buy 6 gcs for my mom, uncle, bff, and E's 3 teachers.

Need to buy a picture from for Dustin's dad (and order a print to put in it) and a picture frame for Dustin.

That should be it. I will probably do it all Sat am and be done.

I said I was done about 20 times, and I keep getting sucked in.

Latest buys:  Thomas Misty Island Legos, Thomas Misty Island computer game, Cars easy reader book, Hedwig puppet, board game.  For Travis a couple things for the kitchen.

Travis and I went into Sams two days ago for Coffee.  Just coffee.  We walked away with the computer game, and two books.  We are suckers.

I've actually resisted a lot.  I'm doing better than past years believe it or not :)
