Christmas Shopping
Have you started?
I'm having a hard time figuring out what to get my sisters. Usually we get each other something silly... like fun-colored socks. But, this year I want to do something different. We don't spend a whole lot - $25 or less, usually - and it's usually something that's fun and useable. I thought about getting them the orange wristlet from www.shopgussy.com, but I think it's too big for what they'd use it for.
Are there any websites that y'all like to use for fun, cheaper-ish gifts? Or gift ideas?

Re: Christmas Shopping
I started in October - mainly because JJ's birthday and Christmas are back to back.
I'm almost done with JJ's stuff...between me/H and my parents, he's being spoiled rotten. I've started shopping for my mom, and the girls [me, my mom and my sis] are gathering this weekend to get my dad's Christmas box together and get it sent off by the holiday deadline. I also need to get crackin' on H's box, since he's not coming home for Christmas.
I use Amazon, eBay and Etsy for a lot of my shopping. You can usually find good deals on there for lots of different stuff. I'm not sure what I'm going to get my sister this year...I usually get her fun socks from Target, make-up and some other stuff, but I'm not sure what she wants this year.
I started last month and have a decent amount of mine bought. I am actually making a few of the gifts myself which I hope to get started ASAP.
TJ check out Vera Bradley-I know there are some on the board who don't liek her stuff but she does have some really cute designs.
I come from a really large family. To give some perspective, I currently have 12 nieces/nephews. I haven't started shopping yet. I may get them purses/scarves/and tees. Since the "rock star" phase of looking a bit homeless is in I am going to milk it.
As far as my siblings, I am buying 3 bottles of wine from Spain and 3 boxes of chocolate from Belgium once I leave this week.
We haven't started our Christmas shopping yet... We're just now getting around to writing up Christmas lists for what people (including ourselves) want. My sister made it easy on me this year, she just wants a few glass casserole dishes... But I might get her a few cute things for the kitchen-- she's the only one in the family who actually cooks.
DH is easy too, he's getting a Premier football jersey for his fav team.
However, he's leaving the gift-buying responsibility to me for his parents and older brother....
We have a $50 limit for each person. He said his dad likes hunting stuff, his mom likes antiques and candles, and his brother will just want movies or games. No ideas yet, but I'm sure something will come to me. haha
