I'm ahead of the game

so I've been busy today.

I got Christmas presents for my sister, MIL, and SIL. they got cavas wine totes from Lands End. I got crazy SIL a wine tote too but its from Amazon not Lands End, but I think it will be just as nice. but only holds 2 bottles of wine not 6.

the dogs are getting new Kong dog toys for their stockings.

last week I saw and had to get FIL a bacon press for his cast iron skillet

and Ben wanted a driving cap that he ordered online and is in love with. but its going to sit until Christmas.

I know the holidays are nowhere near, but i'm hoping that if I get on my shopping now I'll be ahead of the game and will be able to lounge around after thanksgiving instead of rush to buy presents.  and I figure if I've got an idea jump on it now!

 

Re: I'm ahead of the game

  • That's awesome! I usually start making lists of ideas for everyone around this time, but I don't shop until November. I was proud of myself for getting everyone done by Black Friday last year, you're like the queen of Christmas shopping right now.

  • That's great. I think I'm getting my mom and sister Origami Owl necklaces. DH's family always asks for a list so I'm making a wish list on Amazon for M and myself.

     

  • You ARE ahead of the game! I haven't even started thinking about what I'm doing this weekend - let alone what I'm doing for Christmas.

  • I was thinking about this last night. I like to make something or friends and family. Last year it was chimichurri rub and several people asked for more or the recipe (Bon appetit's recipe Annie was Really good). Thinking of maybe doing a vanilla for everyone. Can't do alcohol infused liquor since my Dad's family is southern Baptist

    I had a friend that did vanilla for everyone a couple of years ago and it was a huge hit!

    I was just thinking about Xmas shopping. With me not working N will want a budget of $5 for Xmas, so I'm going to have to really space this out so he doesn't really notice, haha.
  • Well done, Big A!  I am impressed.
