Rebirth Posted December 12, 2005 Posted December 12, 2005 I am, for this coming weekend, shopping almost lsat minute. I'm going shopping before my trip to Vegas. When I return on 22nd, I won't worry about gifts.
mjmcca Posted December 12, 2005 Posted December 12, 2005 I know me.I am working the night of the 23 I am sure when i get out onthe morning of the 24 I will go making a few stops just to pick up one more little thing.
Guest Deals4Me Posted December 12, 2005 Posted December 12, 2005 yep. Will be this Friday.... Darren gets paid, and we are caught up on bills nearly. I also get paid...so thats 250, JUST from my side burning a hole in the pocket... Still need to do : my grandma (robe and slippers) my mom (robe?) my sister ($10 giftbasket I'll make) my step dad (Not a clue...) my BIL ($5 cubs hat at WM and $5 calico vision game to top him off) My brother My SIL my dad (BIRTHDAY and christmas.... $10 Sox jersey from Salkeld)
gisellerol Posted December 12, 2005 Posted December 12, 2005 i am i still have a few people on my list but thats mostly because i am clueless on what to get them
mombbsmj Posted December 12, 2005 Posted December 12, 2005 I try to do most early but I always seem to find more last minute things to "need" to go get. I'm not usually satisfied until Dec 24th....
decafmom Posted December 12, 2005 Posted December 12, 2005 I keep forgetting to get the WM gift cards for Cooper's teacher and teacher's aide, so I need to get that done. Other than that I think I'm done! Although someone mentioned today that there are Narnia action figures out and a couple of those would be fun for the little guy.
huseboy Posted December 12, 2005 Posted December 12, 2005 I still have quite a few to buy for some are just gift cards but others I have no idea what to get 'em. Guess I better go looking, lol. My layaway is still at walmart too, must get it out Wednesday. That is my payday so that will work out luckily. :)
tootsieroll23 Posted December 12, 2005 Posted December 12, 2005 I haven't even started really. I just can't get in the mood. Just found out two things DD wants and I do have, she doesn't want anymore. She has a total of four gifts and they are all going back.
daworths8 Posted December 12, 2005 Posted December 12, 2005 I have some tiny things like stocking stuffers I need to grab here and there, Ill probably just do this stuff with my normal grocery shopping, so no big special shopping trips for me for the rest of the season. I am finished and everything is wrapped and under tree except for Santas gifts:banana01:
nick_jenni_jocelyn Posted December 12, 2005 Posted December 12, 2005 i am... i THOUGHT i was done. I actually am, but i keep finding things that would "be so perfect for so-and-so". all i have left is for dh... jeans, drill bit set, cd holder to go with the new in-dash cd player i bought him, and then some things for our daughter.... the funny thing is, everyone in our family(inlaws, nieces, nephews) are all done except our daughter. this was interesting to me.
jason Posted December 12, 2005 Posted December 12, 2005 almost finished my shopping today all i have left is to order something online
Gporter34 Posted December 12, 2005 Posted December 12, 2005 I actually finished all of mine yesterday! That's really good for me because I usually still have to go to WM the day before for something!LOL
ShawnainKY02 Posted December 12, 2005 Posted December 12, 2005 I'll probably still be shopping on Christmas Eve. I still have to get my bil, mom, other bil (I had actually forgotten about him until just now), hubby something else, etc. for me, that I get done.
queenofshopping Posted December 12, 2005 Posted December 12, 2005 unfortunately, yes...i missed a week of quality shopping time bc i was sick
magickallight Posted December 12, 2005 Posted December 12, 2005 I'm still shopping on the 26th! LoL! No... I have almost everything done... just a few finishing touches and a WHOLE LOT OF WRAPPING going on!
sanam Posted December 12, 2005 Posted December 12, 2005 what all comes on sale on the 26th? i just bought a coat from Kohls which was marked down from 140 to 60 so i bought it.
alimfp Posted December 12, 2005 Posted December 12, 2005 Possibly. If we can swing it, then that will be the only shopping I've done outside of two gifts for friends. :)
shopping mom Posted December 12, 2005 Posted December 12, 2005 I still need to do some stockings stuff, but considering I am doing 13 stockings this year I am think I am doing pretty well. ( I do them for our parents and this year his mom and step dad will be here too so that is another set besides our six kids. Plus his step brother is coming and I did not want him to be the only person to not get a stocking, so I just added him too.) I also need to get a PS2 game for my 15 year old and I want to get his birthday shopping done this week too.( I am going to use the 10% off at BB I got in the mail). I got my oldest son a drill and I need to check to see if I should get drill bits, and get one gift for my FIL, and then do a lot of wrapping!!
leefamily23 Posted December 12, 2005 Posted December 12, 2005 Well--- I have to shop this week- this will push us to almost done. We both get paid so, we should be able to really come close. Then, my husband gets paid every week and I have a few little things to get on 12/23. So, I am soooo close but I need those last 2 checks to get there. Trying to make this a credit free holiday- which we've been so far so good on.
hope1976 Posted December 12, 2005 Posted December 12, 2005 Of course LOL - we kept saying that we finished on BF, but then I realized that we only had the kids done....ok, and a couple gifts for ourselves (computers) We're not sure what we're getting anyone else (parents), but we'll have to find something soon LOL
malachitecat Posted December 12, 2005 Posted December 12, 2005 I've been done since BF. Got everything wrapped and under the tree on Nov 27th (except for stepdaughters gifts - they are in my closet, but she thinks they are in my locked, alarmed storage shed hehe) oh, wait, have to buy scratch tix for stockings!
Kayakmom Posted December 12, 2005 Posted December 12, 2005 I have accomplished exactly ZERO wrapping due to my constant 4 year old sidekick. The presents are hidden in the garage. I have bought/ordered everything except stocking stuffers and a few odds and ends. I expect the UPS man will be showing up daily at my door for the next week or so, lol. The major things I have left to do are baking and wrapping! Luckily I had the gifts going far away shipped directly, so I only have one thing to ship out to my little cousin, which is her birthday present that is way late.
KellyGus Posted December 12, 2005 Posted December 12, 2005 We are pretty much done with the kids, but some stuff we have to get when we get to Calif, can't take it with us and dont wish to ship twice...lol We also ordered a new computer as a family gift and are fighting over who gets to use it first I'll need to go shopping with my Dad for my Mom when we get there, I haven't been able to do that with him for YEARS and we are both looking forward to it :)
ebony0421 Posted December 12, 2005 Posted December 12, 2005 Heck, I am so far behind I am doing first minute shopping. :g_dance:
magickallight Posted December 12, 2005 Posted December 12, 2005 Heck, I am so far behind I am doing first minute shopping. :g_dance:LoL! I Love It!
laffnatu Posted December 12, 2005 Posted December 12, 2005 I'm done with the kids. I do have to get 2 layaways out by the 15th at WM. I only need to get MIL and my mom something now.
Bestbuy7 Posted December 12, 2005 Posted December 12, 2005 I'm no where near finish. I havent started. I will be heading to the stores on saturday and sunday
Mommie2one Posted December 12, 2005 Posted December 12, 2005 I recently changed my mind on what to get my mom. Now she says she wants a DVD player for her room. So, Im off to buy it this week
