HansieDZ Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 With this being the last week of shopping before Christmas,I'm just wondering who will be out in the stores trying to finish up and who will be resting on their laurels :) I have most of it done,but not all.I placed some last minute Amazon orders but will be hitting the stores this coming week. Are you 100% done? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HansieDZ Posted December 20, 2010 Author Share Posted December 20, 2010 Ahhhhh....that's a great feeling! So,are you going to enjoy this last week? Not only do I have some shopping and wrapping to do, I have grocery shopping,food prep AND sports (basketball and wrestling) to get thru this week. And it wouldn't be Christmas without sick kids,so I'm treating sore throats/sick tummies/and fevers. Good thing I'm prepared for everything "bad"! I just love these last few days before Christmast-they're the best! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lukesmom01 Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 Placed some last minute online orders too. Still have to get out in the madness at least one more time, but only for a couple of things, and for grocery shopping. I still have a lot of wrapping to do. Hopefully I will be completely done with presents and wrapping by Tuesday or Wednesday at the latest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kibit13 Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 I need one more gift for DH, but since he is sitting next to me I can't say what it is. DH just asked what I was typing and I told him. He said "You can tell them. I won't read it, I promise";) He is such a kid at Christmas! I am so excited that I am done shopping for this Christmas! I LOVE Christmas shopping, but now its time to enjoy the season even more and not worry about getting a great deal or whether or not a potential present is in stock.

purplegop Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 I am finished. Correction - I should be finished...but, I will probably venture out this week and pick up some last-minute stocking stuffers and such. I have the majority of my gifts wrapped...but, still quite a few to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speeddiva Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 I have 2 more gifts to get...1 only because my MIL decided at the last minute to do a white elephant. 90% is wrapped & the decor is finally all up so I'm feeling pretty good about leaving for a few days in Nashville this week!

lakj98 Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 I was done, until my MIL called and asked me to shop for my kids from her. Now I have already bought them everything they have asked for so I have no idea what to get them from her. I still have a TON of wrapping to do. I do still have to go grocery shopping for Christmas dinner though. I plan to do that on Thursday morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocky41102 Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 I'm almost done but I haven't even bought my wrapping paper yet! I've got my 3 kids mostly done, still shopping for my dad and hubby and nephew though. And have a room full of wrapping still to go. I wish I was done with the wrapping-that's such a pain!

peifgirl Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 I have been done for a couple weeks. I have exchanged a couple things. And picked up some candy fillers for the stockings. But everything else I have been done for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biomajor Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 My son needs a car LOL so that I won't be buying without him. My daughter needs a muffler, so really nothing to wrap except their little stuff. I still need to pick up a purse for my niece, but I want my daughter to help me pick it out and she just got home from school yesterday and was already working today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elmck Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 I need to grocery shop. I would like to get a few more stocking stuffers for my DFIL but it depends on time. I am 90% done wrapping, and what I have left is boxed and ready to wrap. Still need to make candy and finish those marble magnets for a few friends. UGHH!! Now that I wrote this I realize I still have a lot to do!!!! Oh well, its all fun stuff anyway!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuggaD Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 Almost. I will be after tonight. Need to go get my mother another present and a few more stocking stuffers. Also still buying great deals, but they won't come in time for Christmas, so will be New Years presents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmyNay Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 me me me!!!! SO glad to be done.... been done a little bit now. Since December, if I was picking up anything else its because its free, or almost free, not because I need or want it! Now I just need to wrap so I'm not up all night, like usual, Christmas Eve!

fluffkin79 Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 I was mostly done months ago (Thank you, Target toy clearance). Still, these last few weeks have been brutal. There have been a lot of freebies to chase and a few better deals that had me rebuying/returning. I spent the whole day Saturday shopping, they stayed up all night wrapping. I need one more gift that we will be getting today (I needed DH to choose this one). Oh, and a I need to pick up a gift card. And maybe, if I have time, stop by a Coinstar to take advantage of their "Get $50 for $40 deal". Of course, if I make it to Coinstar then I will be ordering from Amazon. While I'm out I think I'll stop by some drug stores to take advantage of some of thier deals. I'm still working on a home made gift for my kids. If I have time I will go buy the ingredients and bake some stuff for cookie/candy baskets. Ummm....yeah....I'm never done until time is up.

Buckeye Shopper Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 I'm finished (thank goodness), I hate the last minute scramble. I have to get some candy for the stockings and do my grocery shopping but that's it. I finished all my wrapping yesterday, and just in time I woke up with a horrible sore throat and cold.

momof3luvs1 Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 I want to say I am done...but usually something always comes up...I do need a few more stocking stuffers for my lil man but besides that the shopping is done. Scared to have to look through all my reciepts n calculate what I spent!lol!! I have about 90% of my wrapping done too...WOOHOO! Now onto the baking and preparing for the huge Christmas eve n Christmas day feasts. Im the only one that cooks and both meals are a big to do =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinkrbel Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 I should be done but am considering going out tomorrow morning to try and find godson and his DS nice thick coats for next to nothing since they'll be travelling to hopefully Snowy NC in January and have nothing remotely close to winter clothes. (My bff will kill me for going overboard but they're such good kids.) Most everything was wrapped last night with the wine bottles and a few others to do today then back to work Wednesday and Thursday. I'm still waiting on some blurays from Target (ordered Thanksgiving Day!!!!) set to be delivered for 23 or 24th but will probably just wrap others and leave those for bday's or 3 kings gift.

nmcnary17 Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 Still need to pick up somethings for stocking stuffers, get DH a couple of more things, and lots and lots of wrapping to do. This time last year I was done by now even with wrapping so I am feeling really behind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do still have to go grocery shopping for Christmas dinner though. I plan to do that on Thursday morning.I hope you are able to figure some gifts out. It can be stressful when someone asks you to do something like that at the last minute. Maybe you could bring your kids to Target or some place similar and while you pick up a few little things like tape or hot cocoa you can see what they look at, at the store? Is there a show or concert that is coming up in the next couple of months that you all would like to go to? You could buy tickets for that or even a membership to the zoo or something similar. Do they play video games? If they have an xbox 360 you could get them a Kinect as a group gift and a game or two, unless of course you already did. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snakeswiff Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 not done.....thats all....I will be the one running around on the morning of the 24th.....First time in many years that i am not done by now, but having a newborn doesn't make it easy!

HansieDZ Posted December 23, 2010 Author Share Posted December 23, 2010 Okay,I am ALMOST done lol! I had 2 things come in from Ammy today (whew) but I still need one "big" $40-$50 gift for DS13 but I don't technically need that until Sunday night. The bad part is that I don't have a single clue what to get him in this price range But I worked hard and all my food prep and wrapping is 99% done and for that I am grateful. I'm going to enjoy tomorrow but it's going to be very busy! I hope everyone gets a minute to stop and enjoy the season. Blessings to all :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
