stevierocks Posted December 5, 2013 Posted December 5, 2013 at this point i am so close to done... maybe 2 gifts left to decide/buy. but then now i think about how long is left for me to see the great deals... and i doubt ill be "done"...
Cblaramore Posted December 5, 2013 Posted December 5, 2013 I'm this say way! I try to stay in a budget but then I see good deals and pick up "one more thing" then I think well I need "one more thing" for my other child. It's insane! But I've gotten some great deals this year! 1
jade2002 Posted December 5, 2013 Posted December 5, 2013 Haha, most definitely! I am pretty much close to being done for everybody but I've been saying that for a little while now. Just when I say I'm done with so and so, I see something else to add to theirs. It's all because of this website I tell ya. I really need to stay away from here for awhile, lol. No, but seriously, I have gotten some excellent deals thanks to this site.
Elmck Posted December 6, 2013 Posted December 6, 2013 Supposedly, I need one more gift for my youngest son and one more for his wife and I will be done. But I have a bunch of kohls cash to spend, a $10 gift card to TRU and about $10 on my SYWR card. I also need to finish stockings. I am a little over budget but not bad.
HansieDZ Posted December 6, 2013 Posted December 6, 2013 I made out my list tonight of what I have for whom and....I see lots more shopping in my future! I don't mind; like the OP, I just can't pass up a good deal so going into a week before Christmas and being 90-95% done is IDEAL! I like to go into Christmas Eve with 99% of my shopping done with only scratch off lottery tickets and last minute deals on my shopping list. Our family tradition is to go to the mall on Christmas Eve and the last minute deals there are always outstanding! 1
elena_398 Posted December 6, 2013 Posted December 6, 2013 I am officially done. Even got all my stocking stuffers. I buy for: My Mom (my dad passed away last year), My husband, my two children ages 13 and 19, and my two dogs. (yes they have stockings and get wrapped presents ) 1
floridasun5 Posted December 9, 2013 Posted December 9, 2013 Yep, yep and yep LOL I had (previously) resolved earlier this year to stick to the budget and officially got done shopping a few days ago. Now, all these dang emails keep coming in from the stores and I keep finding other gifs that "would just be perfect for so and so" lol and buy it! Luckily I'm only about $100 over budget so not too bad and I will be traveling for work next week so that certainly cuts down on my time to shop. Now, if I can just avoid the "SUPER SPECIAL SAVINGS" emails 1
elena_398 Posted December 14, 2013 Posted December 14, 2013 Well previoiusly I said I was done and some more super deals showed up for my teenage daughter. Darn it. Have to stop looking at online deals!
jstluvem Posted December 14, 2013 Posted December 14, 2013 I too thought I was done with wrapping and everything.....then here come the deals and oh yea orders I forgot about being delivered!!
leefamily23 Posted December 14, 2013 Posted December 14, 2013 Well similar situation. I was done but then work provided us with bonuses that were considerably higher than ever before (highest they've actually ever given). So, I am splurging on a few extra things for ds and dh. Not that I'm complaining, it's great we've had such a great year.
Elmck Posted December 14, 2013 Posted December 14, 2013 I keep thinking I will finish "today" and I keep remembering something I have not done!! Today I plan to wrap the small gifts for friends at church, pick up 2 items I forgot I ordered:) Deliver gifts to the nursing home, return an item that was not what I thought and hopefully get the right thing, and try to find my mom a gift. I am just not satisfied with what I have her yet!!
speeddiva Posted December 14, 2013 Posted December 14, 2013 I still need a few stocking stuffers and MIL mentioned something last night that she'd like so I need to go pick that up. The thing I really need to get done is ship gifts out! DD keeps waffling back & forth wether or no she's coming home so I've been delaying.
elena_398 Posted December 23, 2013 Posted December 23, 2013 Got an email from Victoria Secret last night. 30% off one item. Had to print it out and of course head to mall for one last gift. lol 1
momof3luvs1 Posted December 24, 2013 Posted December 24, 2013 I am done, have only about 3 gifts left to wrap and then santa will create his magic tonight =)...........I cant wait to see my kids smiling faces tonight!!!!
