StaceyinLA Posted December 14, 2016 Share Posted December 14, 2016 I have been almost done for a couple weeks, but dd would NOT commit to a knife for herself and dh (they wanted a GOOD knife for their big, joint gift). She finally committed, it came in yesterday, is getting wrapped this morning, and I'm DONE! Anyone else?!? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Georgiana Daniels Posted December 14, 2016 Share Posted December 14, 2016 Oh my crapness.....so JEALOUS! Ok, you're motivating me. I really need to just get out there and make it happen, and also not leave all the wrapping for the night before Christmas. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KatieJ Posted December 14, 2016 Share Posted December 14, 2016 I finished up Monday night! Everything bought, wrapped and mailed boxes on their way. I have a huge family, lots of fall birthdays and the only way I can deal with it is to start in August. However, I am having trigger thumb surgery today, and I needed to get it all done because I don't know when my hand will be healed. So now I am going to get the surgery and sit and catch up TV shows for a while. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mommyoffive Posted December 14, 2016 Share Posted December 14, 2016 Nice job. I haven't bought anything yet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarah CB Posted December 14, 2016 Share Posted December 14, 2016 I'm done all the gifts and I've wrapped everything that I have here. Most of the gifts were bought online and sent to my mom's because we're spending Christmas on that end of the country so I'll have some wrapping to do when we arrive. I have all of the stockings for females done, but I still have to finish the male stockings. We really, really like stockings - my mom and sister and I all go in together and do stockings for each other (which means I get one from mom/sister and one from dh :) plus I do a stocking for any adult who joins us on Christmas morning. This year that means mil, fil, and my dad. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MeaganS Posted December 14, 2016 Share Posted December 14, 2016 Done buying! Haven't started wrapping though. I'm doing a cross-stitched stocking for Dd6 and I want it done by Christmas eve. It's going to be close and is is taking all my time! But it will all get done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustEm Posted December 14, 2016 Share Posted December 14, 2016 Nope. I still have to get Christmas ornaments for the kids and dh's gift. I have no idea what to get him. We had a set spending limit and he spent about twice as much as the agreed upon amount(which he chose) so I'm not feeling too giving towards him at the moment.

Guest Posted December 14, 2016 Share Posted December 14, 2016 Nice job. I haven't bought anything yet. Right there with you. Well no...I did, but it was a Black Friday buy. Phone for dd so she's already using it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaz Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 (edited) I was just checking my list. I think I just need to send a niece and nephew amazon gift cards to be finished! I wasn't sure what to buy my in-laws. My mil had emergency gall bladder surgery this evening. I decided to put together a photo album of our family as their Christmas gift and not wait for her birthday in January. My in-laws are getting older....

Tree Frog Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 Congrats! I usually am done early. I was planning to go shopping last week so I could be done, but broke my foot and can't walk or drive. So the rest of my shopping is being done by Amazon. They offered me a 30 day trial of Prime, so I've been taking advantage of that. It's difficult to find inexpensive stocking stuffers online! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fraidycat Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 Nope. I spent all day from 9-5 working on it today, but most of that was driving time because the city is about an hour & ten minutes away on the highway, plus driving time in the city from place to place, including an extra stop for my Mom and an extra stop for my SIL. In reality, I only bought 4 gifts in that time, plus a few groceries from Costco. I think I have 3 or 4 small things to pick up for stockings and a gift basket, then I'm done. So, basically just one quick trip to the local Walmart now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 Great job! I got my husband done but we haven't gotten anywhere on the kids yet, really. I feel it breathing down my neck :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heartlikealion Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 That's great! We have some homemade gifts we are trying to finish, but otherwise I think we are done. Well, one relative told me privately she *may* come to visit depending on flights so I told dh we may need to get her a last minute gift. But otherwise I think we're good! Almost everything is wrapped as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StaceyinLA Posted December 15, 2016 Author Share Posted December 15, 2016 (edited) All mine are wrapped as well, except stocking (well, stocking and basket) stuffers, and the ONE present under the tree my 11mo dgd keeps unwrapping (thank goodness it's her mom's). I don't do stockings for my married children or my grandchildren. I LOVE buying the goodies, but think stockings should be from Santa at their own house. I also find it much more difficult to fill stockings for my sons-in-law than my dds, so it really looks pretty lopsided if I do individual ones. I implented the "family basket" for the adult children as they marry and have families. I usually put one family gift (game, puzzle, movie, etc.) and then individual stuffers for each person in that family, along with a little special candy into one big "basket" (not really a basket, but a large box that I wrap in Christmas wrap because no one really needs all those baskets anyway). I do enjoy wrapping a lot of the stuffers because it just makes it fun for everyone. Edited December 15, 2016 by StaceyinLA 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alisoncooks Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 Yep, been finished for a couple of weeks. It's so nice to not be in the thick of it when the holiday season gets busy. My nieces birthdays are next week, so I did place one last minute Amazon order for that. It should be here tomorrow. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Annie G Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 Congrats! I'm envious. Bought the first gift this morning. I have no real excuse, other than I'm just not feeling Christmas this year. I have made a lovely gift for a dear friend and sent money to the grandkids (dd graciously shops for them and wraps it for me since they live 1000 miles away).

Been done for a few days, though I thought I would stop by the bank and get some cash for the kids too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scrapbookbuzz Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 I am done!!! For those of you who need help with gift ideas or stocking stuffers, I am actually pretty good with helping people with these. so feel free to PM me with questions! Affordable Stocking stuffers can usually be found at the 99 cents store, The Dollar Tree, and Target's Bullseye Playground (formerly the Dollar Spot).

rebcoola Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 All done, except a white elephant gift that I just got the details about last night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happypamama Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 Shopping has been done for three days. Everything is here except for four items, two of which are coming from overseas but should be here soon. I haven't wrapped anything but am hoping to do so in the next few days. I do have two small items I need to finish knitting for my little boys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StaceyinLA Posted December 17, 2016 Author Share Posted December 17, 2016 Yesterday afternoon I was able to get stocking stuffers wrapped for all but one "basket." I probably have about 10 little gifts left to wrap and I'll be done with all of it. Tomorrow is dgd's birthday so I had those gifts to wrap as well. Her party will be here so I really wanted my stuff all wrapped and under my tree. I did do a bad thing though - decided at the last minute to order dgs a Nintendo 2DS. Didn't need to, but couldn't help myself. Now I'll have to wrap that when it arrives. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sherry in OH Posted December 17, 2016 Share Posted December 17, 2016 I orderd the last few gifts this morning. Other than a few edible stocking stuffers, I am finished. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 17, 2016 Share Posted December 17, 2016 (edited) I mailed off the boxes yesterday and feel such a huge sense of relief. We still need to make cookies or something for my adult kids' daddy (and minor kid's honourary uncle) and his partner, but other than that we're done and can just enjoy it. Of course we have three January birthdays so it's not over over..... Edited December 17, 2016 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
