Christmas shopping?

**sparks19** · 11-09-2011, 01:06 PM

Anyone started? anyone done?

I'm actually almost done. I only have a few small things left to get for family, Brians gifts and that's pretty much it. Hannah is pretty much completely shopped for and then some lol but if I happen across anymore good deals I may indulge lol. Honestly I've never been done this early. so this is awesome and the BEST part is I barely spent $100 on everything I got her. Same with the rest of the gifts for family. If I've spent $200 so far I'll be surprised

there is only one other thing I REALLY want to get Hannah still

That dress is just so incredibly beautiful and I've wanted to get it for her for a long time. That dress is $45 and by FAR the most expensive Christmas gifts I've gotten her so far. Everything else I've purchased for a steal.

But it is nice to know when you picked out a REALLY good gift. I bought her a pink piano for christmas. We went to a consignment shop one day and there it was and Hannah went right up to it and started playing it. I went back a few days later without her and bought it

I had been looking for one for a long time and this one was perfect. Yesterday we went back to that consignment shop and first thing Hannah said was "HEY where did the piano go?" I told her someone must have bought it.... TEEHEE

So how about everyone else?

I have done quite a bit for the twins and some for their mom, my other daughter is hard to buy for. I have finished a few other folks on my list also....I have to straggle it out over a few months so its not too much all at once....

The dress is adorable! She will LOVE it! Is the Disney trip in Jan a Christmas gift? Does she know about it?

I like seeing videos of kids opening a gift that says "we're going to disney world", best reactions ever.

My family isn't doing "huge" gifts this year, because we're going on a cruise in January (10 days..paid for by my parents). I am buying myself an Iphone, so that's my big gift to myself. I am going to buy gift cards for my brother, that's all he ever wants. I spent over $70 on my sister for her birthday, so I don't know what to get her. So no, I haven't started at all. I think me and my siblings are going to go big for my parents but am not sure yet..

I've got a good start. Don't buy that many gifts, so it's easy.

No it's not really a christmas gift. She knows about it lol... I am not capable of keeping that a secret lol. we are already counting down (73 days!!!)

Bah-humbug!!!

I've bought one gift so far, and I'm at a total loss as to what to get anyone. Luckily I don't have a lot to buy for - just son & DIL, 2 grandkids, one "almost like a grandkid", my DIL's mother, and my brother. Of course the puppers and some other doggie friends, but I make them homemade doggie cookies!

I found a super soft and plush doggie pillow/bed for my 2 - they will love it I think. At least Sparky will, for sure.

Very cute, how big is it?

Since nobody is getting or giving gifts, I'm done

Though of course Cameron gets gifts. We got tons of stuff from clearance centers. I spent a whole $40 since July and have tons of things for him to open. The only thing I want to get is a box of generic Lego bricks, and I'm hoping to find them on Freecycle.

Tanya, I bought something for the twins and thought of you. I don't know if you go to costco but I got a disney princess blanket for about 12 dollars, it is HUGE. It has three princesses on it.

I bought my Dad one of his gifts from Amazon. It's a remote control helicopter, he says he wanted one to annoy my mom with and it's small enough to fly in the house, so I bought it

. Mikey is getting 2 stuffless toys, since he tears everything else up. I bought my sister some Minnie socks from target, but will get her more stuff. Still have no clue what to get my mom or my brother.
