Is anyone else completely done with gift shopping?

[dragons in the flower bed]

I didn't strive to be done before Thanksgiving, but I'm really glad I am. This is the first year I bought every gift in a store from a major manufacturer, too. That made it easier. Next year I hope to go back to etsy but I'll still try to get it over with early on.

So close to being done. I have stocking stuffers to get, a book to order, and take the kids out to buy their dad a present.

Well, I voted done. Then I saw True Blue's comment and realized my kids need to buy a gift for their dad. I guess I'm not done after all. ;)

Mostly done - just a few things to get online with Black Friday sales....by Friday morning I anticipate being completely done!

I have some things purchased, but nowhere near enough to let me relax yet!

I have to pick up a couple gift cards.

Wow, I can't believe so many of us have finished shopping! I still have most of it to do. :(

 

Oh, I see the poll shows that more of us still need to finish shopping. I think after reading through several threads about Christmas shopping, it only seems that everyone but me is done!

You're in good company! You and I still have the JOY of shopping DURING the season instead of getting it all done before the season even starts!

 

 

 

 

 

(Just trying to make her feel better, everybody! Please, no lectures on how there's more joy DURING the season if you finish your shopping early. She and I need to have something to cling to. :D)

I am completely done shopping. I'm not a big fan of shopping to begin with, but I especially hate it when the stores are crowded at the holidays. I try to get everything done by Thanksgiving, so that I can spend my time on holiday things I do enjoy: cutting down a tree, decorating, baking cookies, caroling, etc.

HA!HA!HA! I've made a big dent, but I'm not even close.

If you finish too early, you miss all the great Amazon toy deals in December. B&N is offering 50% off one toy on BF (online too). I love cyber shopping in my pjs while drinking peppermint hot chocolate.

I am so happy to be completely done and wrapped. I bought almost everything online this year. It was especially nice with Amazon Prime. I got all my stocking stuffers done, so I wouldn't be scrambling at the last minute.

I am mostly done. I have a few things left to get, like the live snake my ds8 is getting. A friend of ours is keeping it at his house for us, but I want to wait a few weeks still. I don't want to burden him with an overly long snake-sitting job.

I also have edible stocking stuffers to buy and a little something for dh. Oh, and we draw names tomorrow for my family-so I'll have that gift to buy. Hard to buy ahead when you don't know who you'll get. :)

I'll be clinging, too. :tongue_smilie:

 

I used to be one of those who got all or at least most of my gift gathering done early. But as the kids get older I seem to put it off longer and longer. I have about half my Christmas knitting done, but I'm doing small projects (ankle socks) so it should go fairly quickly. I did get a good start on stocking stuffers over the summer, though.
