Is anyone done Christmas shopping yet?

Tink

I HATE malls and busy stores, so always try to get my shopping done early and as much of it bought online as I can. My goal was to be half done by last Friday, and I had gotten 15 of 26 people bought for that day. I'm now at 17... so I'm right on target for now.

So is anyone else getting done yet?

I've got Annie's big stuff, but thats about it - She's getting a Hannah Montana 3/4 guitar and guitar lessons for Christmas! Ssshhhhhhhhhh!

I'm a last minute shopper for everyone else... I do PLAN months in advance though.

My family knows that I need a list by Thanksgiving. I do all my shopping the day after Thanksgiving. My Mom and I get up early (4am) and hit the sales. I usually am all done by 8am on that day. Yeah it sucks getting up that early but where we shop the mall doesn't start getting crowded until like 9 or 10am that day.

Always have best of intentions, but am shopping up to the end. Getting ideas for everyone seems to get more challenging each year. None of us need more "stuff". Guess I should start soon! I have some ideas at least.

My hardest ones to buy for are 6 nephews who live a distance away and I see only once a yr. They range from 10 - 16, and I have no clue what their interests are from year to year. So every year I join a DVD club and buy them each a new release movie... this year I paid $27 for 7 movies, so it's an economical way to do it. After the holidays are over I've usually met my club requirements so quit the club until the following year again. lol

That's my best holiday shopping trick.

I'm a last minute shopper...then again I don't have much to buy. My husband and I promise each other to not buy gifts (neither of us really need anything and we're going on vacation close to christmas so that can be our gift to each other)...then it's just my parents, brother and some friends.

Kristin - can you believe I had to look up who Hanna Montana was the other day? I keep hearing about her, but I had no clue Smile
