How far along are you in your shopping?

[AudreyNicole]

Just curious... How far along is everyone with their shopping?

 

I get strange looks from people when they hear that I have made a pretty good dent in my shopping list... I do plan to be ALL done by Black Friday. That's my goal anyway. I have 3-4 more gifts to buy for my extended family, and then I can really consentrate on DH and my boys. I have gotten some shopping done for them as well, but I am far from finished. I know what I am buying, I just have to get the money together to do it. :)

 

How about you?

[allshoppedout]

I am zero---so sad. . .

[bfaddict1977]

98% done. I am done for my kids but always go back and overbuy crap they don't need/want. I have to get my friend a gc and that's it otherwise.

[tntsmomie]

We're almost done. Both kids are done, but only a few relatives are. So maybe about 60% done??

 

Teacher gifts are taken care of, too. :)

[jerica388]

I hit the Meijer 2 week toy sale yesterday and just about finished up on my kids and my nieces and nephews. I already got my mom and dad and grandma. Still have to get for MIL, FIL, and hubby. I should be grabbing the last few pieces on BF.

[elena_398]

I have my children (DS 15 and DD 9) just about done.

 

My twin nieces are done (age 6)- thanks to Target's toy clearance.

 

My nephew still hasn't told me what he wants (age 10). He isn't into much of anything so I will wait till I hear from him. Other wise he is getting money.

 

Done with my parents.

 

Still have to buy for my MIL. I'm thinking glade basket and a gift card.

 

Teachers- done (each are getting a glade variety lol)

 

Husband- DONE.

 

Dogs DONE.

[Mikesgirl]

I just need 2 giftcards and a couple of more things for DS13 everyone else is done unless I find something on BF that is a great deal for the kids..

[braylan1]

I am 20% done. Majority of mine will be finished up on BF!!

[stacyk9]

I am 85% done. For those I haven't bought for yet, I know what I'm getting them, just haven't gotten it yet. I went out over lunch today and bought everyone's stocking stuffers. I'm holding onto all of my receipts, though, just in case something goes on sale!!

[jbdinos]

hubby.. .needs one more gift that should be on sale on BF

daughter/son in law... I know what they are getting, currently looking for a sale

friends/other family... 70% done and know what I am lookign for deals on...

 

hoping to get some wrapping done while I am waiting on more BF ads to find my deals :)

[Elmck]

I am maybe 5% done, I plan to do most of mine on BF if I can get the money together.

[SuggaD]

Haven't bought much yet (just a few DS games), but that's not unusual. I buy 95% of what I'm getting on BF.

[stacy0479]

I too haven't bought much yet. I would say maybe 5% done. LOL

[speeddiva]

I'm about 85% done....still have DH, the in-laws (they won't decide on anything until Thanksgiving) and my Mom.

[sprocket31]

We are about 68% complete. There are so many good deals going on right now.

[missyjane]

I'm a little behind this year, I'm afraid, I just haven't really had the time to dedicate to shopping.

[rjncmj]

I'm done. But that won't stop me from getting more...

[Illinoismom]

I am waiting for the money tree in the back yard to sprout so I can start

[rjncmj]

I am waiting for the money tree in the back yard to sprout so I can start

oooh, can I get a starter from your tree?!

[believet]

I am 0% done

[pogiporkchop]

Me too, nothing done yet

[amez74]

Not nearly far enough I've bought 12 gift cards for my husbands employees, and his parents. I've got four children to buy for. So far I have a couple of wii games, a my generations doll for my youngest dd, a pet shop center for oldest dd, and a movie for my youngest ds. This is very unusual for me, still plenty of time though

I'll be leaving this thread now to return at a future date when all this talk of people being done and almost done doesn't depress me so much since I've barely even started;)

[toninjack]

I am finished and everything is all wrapped. Any sales I find now until Christmas will just be "extras".

[mom2maddynsky27]

i am way behind this year...i have only about 5% done. last year at this time..I was almost done.

[elicia423126]

Oh......I'm stressing about this. I am usually at least 75% done by now. But not this year.

[mom2maddynsky27]

Oh......I'm stressing about this. I am usually at least 75% done by now. But not this year.

i am in the same boat as you.

[racerfan]

I am behind also this year. I am usually done by now. DH has been out of work since July so things are going to be very light this year. If one of the previous posters could give me a couple branches from their money tree or a shoot of it for me to grow my own

 

DD's 2 teachers done

DD's 2 religion teachers done

DD's bus driver done

 

DD have a few things need to get her main gift if I can figure out what that is?????

DS got a few things know what else to get but they are on pre-order video games & have to order his tennis rackets.

DS Birthday on 12/21 to buy for.

2 DNs will get gift cards or money.

My Sis & BIL not exchanging this year

DH got one gift but not worried if I dont get anything else.

FIL have no idea

DH's Grandmother have no idea

Dogs nothing yet

cat nothing yet

birds nothing yet

 

After putting all this down, I am actually surprised how much I have done. At least I have some ideas.

[arf110106]

I haven't even started yet, lol

[raven20_79]

I am probably about 75% done. Some people are just impossible to shop for. Have to sit down and think about it. Also need to decide if I am going to continue to buy for the people who refuse to by for anyone else, but will get pissy if they don't get anything. I don't want to, but I don't want to waste money one someone who will not appreciate whatever I get them either.
