I'm in full on Christmas shopping mode right now
I vow to have all my Christmas shopping done by Dec 1st. 
I just really want to enjoy my holiday season and not worry about shopping madness. (I hate shopping!)
So quick question:
Apart from the usual amazon/ebay/ possible Etsy.. where else on line do you do your gift giving shopping?
Re: I'm in full on Christmas shopping mode right now
I got nothing. I am an Amazon whore.
Occasionally we've ordered some stuff for dads from Omaha Steak.
I'm not doing any Christmas shopping this year except for the princess. We're in a recession and I'm on a very limited budget. I've decided to make snickerdoodles wrap them festively. The end
The princess is only getting clothes, shoes, books, and one toy like thing.
I like overstock for online shopping. :-)
My plan is also to buy jack_shit for Christmas gifts this year. I'm not getting anything for MH, and I'm going to ask my parents not to get me anything. I know I'll get suckered into getting a gift for bff, but besides that, I want nothing to do with it.
I hate Christmas shopping.

I'm kind of "bah humbug" too for Christmas this year. H and I already decided we're just going to buy a grill (FINALLY) for our place instead of gifts for each other. I'll get something decent for my parents and something little for my brothers.
I am SO over 2009. I can't wait for this year to be over.
After 2 rounds of IVF & 2 rounds of FET, we were blessed with identical twin girls!
I'll drink to that.
Some kids will get checks. 1 or 2 babies will get checks and something nice bc I actually like them.
Most everyone else will get a card, if that.
You can just make the check out to me and I'll make sure to deposit the money in her bank account once she has one
Ya'll are bringing my mojo down....
I LOVE CHRISTMAS!!!! I don't however enjoy the shopping part- I'm keeping it simple and cheap as I think everyone else will also but we always do gifts.
So I gotta get a little something for family and a few select friends. 
Then it's all about enjoying get togethers holiday parties and time together with family and friends. The lights- the music- the movies! I love it all.
It's the most wonderful time of the yeeeeaaaaaarrrr...
Thanks for the recs.. keep em comin
I'm lookin for deals.
Haha PPH! There are too many kids in my family so they will be lucky if I even bother.
Aline - Marshalls is a good place too. There is something for everyone.
Dude, you know me, I'm a total scrooge about the holidays.
