Has anyone started Christmas shopping yet?

I voted Bah Humbug. Only because I do not have money to shop now. Hopefully I will by Thanksgiving. I'm actually going to do the Black Friday thing with my mom, SIL and nieces. I'm scared!! I hate shopping! LOL

I didn't vote because it isn't too early, but I haven't bought anything yet. I am going to get some books for the kids at the preschool book fair in the morning, and a couple of them are already set aside for me, but I don't think I can count it as a purchase just yet.

I'm making gifts for people this year and Ive started getting the materials...does that count?

We really only buy presents for the kids in the family, so we haven't started yet. Instead of buying for adults, we starting doing a gift exchange.

Last year my mom and grandma came for Christmas so we had us, them, and my brother and SIL put our names in a hat. We picked one person (we kept it secret till after we exchanged gifts) and spent $20. It was fun! I got some cashmere socks and a gingerbread house (my brother got my name, but he cheated because my husband helped him pick the stuff out! I liked it anyway.

).

I do it all year round. When I see something clever or interesting or at an exceptional price or from someplace I've traveled...I get it and put it in a dresser I have just for that.

I may not buy it for anyone in particular. Then I decide. Somethings stay in the drawer for a while until the right occasion/person.

I try to spread out the expense over sept, oct, nov and dec so yes I have started.....costco has the perfumes in around august/september so I bought 3 bottles of juicy couture, its a great price there.
