I finished my Christmas shopping

ninjawife · ‎11-15-2011

Now granted I only buy for my two DDs, two godaughters and BFF but I finished last night. I was planning to visit my beach house this weekend to shop the outlets but now I don't need to. DDs get a large gift bag with about 5 gifts and a gift card. One godaughter gets a gift card that I mail to her since I often don't get a chance to see her over the holidays. The other godaughter gets a medium gift bag with 3-4 things and BBF usually gets something for her home that can be appreciated by her family. She collects snowman so I often get her something with that theme.

I'm done too. I like being done early and after Thanksgiving I am going to decorate and start wrapping. I get a week off from work. All month of December I just enjoy all things holiday.

I don't have a big list but I do buy several items for my grandkids. I help out with their Christmas and makes things a little easier for them this time of year. Part of my daughters Xmas gift.

My husband and I just get something we both would like to have. This year we got a new tv for the bedroom.

Thank God I don't have to do any of that now. Life has been so much easier without Christmas shopping to think about. I have sibblings and other family, but we don't do any exchanging of gifts. If anything, I just bake stuff and bring it to their homes. Even decortating is at a bare minimum. No stress holidays, you gotta love it

It's a good feeling when you're ahead of the game. I don't have nearly as many people to buy for as I once did, thank goodness. Just five and that's including my husband and daughter. My husband and I stopped getting big gifts for each other a couple of years ago. We put that money towards the house...remodeling, new furniture, etc. This year we will be on vacation for Christmas. I only got husband and daughter some small stuff to open a couple of days before we leave. Not even decorating this year because I don't want to have to deal with it when we get home.

I finished mine as well. My grandkids are young and are currently into Rainbow High dolls. Fortunately, I found the exact ones that they wanted. They are getting other things like the Globe rechargeable nightlights I purchased here. I know they will be a big hit. Adorable. Wish I had gotten a second set but they sold out quickly. And the other thing they want is glasses. 😄. Obviously they don't need them, but I did find cute rainbow framed ones from Claire's....Must be a fashion statement. 🤷🏻‍♀️.
I don't have a big family to buy for, so I enjoy shopping for the kids.

I only buy for my DD---then give my son and SO cash. So I am done now too. this year my DD is turning 40 so got her some special things---No grands to buy for--and the family doesn't give gifts any more either which is really ok by me--we get together and have very nice meals that eveyone contributes too.

I am also done and have been for a little while. It is easy for me though as I don't have grandchildren so I really just have my adult kids and their SO's. I started buying early in the year as the sales were great! My kids get a substantial gift card and I buy them small useful gifts or gifts for their hobbies such as Beekman products, jigsaw puzzles, etc.

DH and I stopped buying gifts for each other many years ago, we'd rather save the money for nice dinners out and vacations.

@Mombo1

Have you seen the isle in CVS with the Claire display?!-so many cute unicorn things-I got a unicorn headband for one of my grandaughters

Everything there I want (for my grandaughter of course!😅)

I guess that I'm the oddball. I miss the days of Christmas shopping for family, buying gifts, wrapping and looking at packages under tree.

My family is down to just my husband and me, 2 adult daughters,

son in law and one granddaughter. Now it's just gift cards, cash and maybe a small wrapped gift. Nothing fun or festive in handing over cash and gift cards. I used to love to go to the mall early on Christmas Eve for one last gift and just to watch the shoppers. Oh well life changes but I am not giving up on decorating.

@on the bay YES! That is where I found the glasses that the kids wanted. Thank goodness they had 3 pair left. They also want the hand sanitizer pouches for their backpacks.. and yes...anything that is Unicorn related is always on the list. Every time I get a coupon from CVS I check out the Claire display.
