Night Elf Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 I went to the mall today to finish my shopping and it wasn't as bad as I feared. There were cars circling the deck where I was parked though. I'm just glad I got there early and that I don't have to go back again. I normally do my shopping online but there was a particular store I needed to visit. I had a good time though because my oldest dd went with me. Then we had lunch at the restaurant where youngest dd works, who sat us right behind the host stand so she could talk to us. :) And that's the extent of my Christmas shopping. Too bad DH already got my Amazon Visa bill though. That was the downside of my shopping online early. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seasider Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 Rub it in.... Seriously, happy for you. That's a great feeling. One I don't have yet this year! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SKL Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 Yay! I'm getting pretty close. I just have to come up with stuff for my 18 & 19yo nephews and my 22yo niece. (And buy a bunch of gift cards.) Maybe I should start a thread .... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lispy Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 Sounds like a fun day shopping.....and I don't even like to shop! I am within 3 purchases of being done. Problem is, I am at a loss on what those 3 purchases will be! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mothersweets Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 :hurray: Yay, you!!! What a relief to have it all done so soon!! I am almost done with my shopping but will still need to do the whole 'wrap, package, and mail' thing next week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Night Elf Posted December 7, 2014 Author Share Posted December 7, 2014 :hurray: Yay, you!!! What a relief to have it all done so soon!! I am almost done with my shopping but will still need to do the whole 'wrap, package, and mail' thing next week. Oh well, wrapping is an entirely different thing. I will procrastinate that until Christmas Eve. I hate to wrap gifts. Maybe I should do one a day to spread it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freesia Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 Me too! Just finished an hour ago. My kids get their presents on St Nicholas Day (yesterday) so that's all done and I finished the extended family today. Now I just have the Christmas letter to go.

happi duck Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 I think I just finished (online order)! My extended family can't decide on skipping gifts, drawing names or doing a grab bag so depending on what they decide I may or may not have a couple more things to pick up! I usually wait to wrap things on Christmas eve, late Christmas eve...I can't decide if that is now 'tradition' or if I should try to wrap a little at a time.

gardenmom5 Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 :toetap05: I was almost done . . . . then 2dd just got engaged :thumbup: to a guy I'd only met once. at thanksgiving. he'll be here for Christmas. and her former roommate from Switzerland is flying in late on Christmas eve (she'll be in NY for a family wedding. yeah. NY and WA are close :p ) and will be here Christmas morning. and dds are talking about "kidnapping" their friend ;) from her parents and bringing her to our house for Christmas. (she wanted to come, and has been here for christmas.) I was shocked to learn she's older than 1dd. I thought she was younger than 2dd.

Catwoman Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 As always, I will be shopping until the very last store closes on Christmas Eve, whether I need anything or not. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sherry in OH Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 Shopping is done, mostly online. I may need to come up with an attractive way to package an IOU though. One item is backordered with a projected delivery window of Dec. 23rd through Dec. 29th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris in VA Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 I bought 10 caramel-wrapped-dipped-in-candy apples from QVC for $5 a piece (with gift bags) and will use 3 of them for a gift exchange at work, and the rest for family "extra" gifts. That's the extent of what I've finished. Sigh. I like shopping, I really do, but I'm just not into it this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unsinkable Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 I am not even close. I am panick-y. Because as we all know, "Presents are the best way to show someone how much you care. It's like this tangible thing that you can point to and say, 'Hey, man, I love you this many dollars worth.'"

Lizzie in Ma Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 One of the items I bought for someone was not prime eligible but it was on their wish list. I ordered it a week or so ago but it's coming all the way from Japan and might not arrive til after Christmas. Pssh. This is why I shouldn't take having a Prime membership for granted. Me too, two of the things I got for youngest say they will arrive january 2! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
