I just finished up all of my shopping TODAY! I am usually an early shopper and kind of make lists as we get closer. I usually like to be done before Thanksgiving or at least finish up while taking advantage of Black Friday sales. With the pandemic this year and lots of retailers doing Black Friday all month, or at least all week, it was easy to finish up this week! What kind of shopper are you? Do you wait till last minute or knock it out quick? Feel free to post some of the things you're ordering for loved ones, too! I got this super sweet gaming keyboard/mouse pad on Amazon today for a couple gamer friends. It was crazy on sale and had good reviews! I've never seen it until shopping around today. |

My wife just bought our kids lizard pets for Christmas. My daughter is getting a gecko and my son is getting a bearded dragon.
My daughter is getting a new phone. My son is getting ps5 (if I can get a hold of one).
Other than that, just clothes and trinkets for them that we still need to shop for

Iβm really not in the mood for holidays this year. Aside the obvious reasons, 2020 was a really crappy year. Iβll buy something for my mom and thatβs it.

Finished last Sunday. Got all but one gift wrapped yesterday. Just waiting on one more to come in which is expected to arrive Monday.
I usually start shopping on Black Friday, but I was bored on Sunday and had some ideas for gifts.

I am Jewish, my wife is Jewish, and many of my friends are. This makes things easy because if I had to buy Christmas gifts for that many people I'd go crazy with that stress. Good on all of you that get it done. That being said, for the friends that aren't we usually don't have to get them things or we get them something small and tasteful. We're definitely last minute shoppers or last minute for anything really. But we try to give good, meaningful gifts when we do need to give them.

I'm at that age where I send out a dozen or so Xmas cards. Years ago, I used to send out about 80. I just lose touch with a lot of people/family.
We don't do gifts, either. Maybe something for the pets, and my new grand nephew.
All I want is to be left alone. Just let me sleep in and have the whole day to do absolutely nothing.

I already got my gf several gifts that would be the major things over the year, but there's some odds and ends for her.
PS5 and some payments towards my guitar i preordered for myself.
my mom is getting airpods
and other than that I'd just have to consider rather getting my brother a small something, or my several nieces a gift too which I do at random.

Still have some gifts to get for my nephews. Burlington had some great stuff on sale. I think I'm gonna give the some of the figures they have been wanting from my collection that I don't need anymore. Made sure to knock my girlfriend's gifts out early. I have no clue what to get for my mom though, any ideas?

Haven't started yet. Only shopping for my wife this year, so I'm not in a huge hurry.
I'll get my extended family some gifts...the week before at Five Below.

Haven't started, but me and the wife did make an amazon list with everything the kids wanted. Her family always buys lots of gifts for the kids so we don't have to do much.
"Santa" only brings them one special gift, me and momma do the rest.

Let's see I usually buy my mom's present early. She likes a certain fragrance from Bath and Body Works. I also bought her an early Christmas present this year, Harriet on DVD. She always wanted to see that movie and never got around to seeing it. I gave it to her early.
I uget my sister and sister in law, Dunkin Donuts gift cards.
I buy my 2 nephew's Sheetz gift cards at the last minute.
I buy my 5 year old niece something early. I'm probably going to get her a toy of some sort. Probably not a stuffed animal but Something like a doll?
My two other nephews and oldest niece get Amazon gift cards.
It all varies.
I thought about getting my oldest brother a Hot Wheels 1970 Chevelle SS from The Fast and The Furious screen time series, since he used to have a Chevelle just like that one when he was younger.

Probably 75-80% on my kids.
Only 1 small thing for my wife so far.
Might buy a gift or 2 for my niece, but only if it makes sense financially in a couple weeks.
