Re: S/O Shopping
Anyone done Christmas shopping? I wish
Who have you purchased for so far? FIL - done, MIL - almost done, & BIL - done
Who do you still need to shop for? Rick, Josh, my mom, my dad, my brother, grandparents (3 sets), and two ornament exchanges.
I have some done. I like to be done before Thanksgiving but it is not happening this year. We have just been too busy.
I got my parents taken care of as Hannukah is super early this year (Dec 1-9).
I got Ken pretty much done.
Still have to buy for BIL, SIL, SIL and her FI, MIL and FIL. Plus FIL's bday is 12/5 and MIL's bday is 12/22.
Plus Ken's uncle. I think that is it though.
Anyone done Christmas shopping? We got started this weekend!
Who have you purchased for so far? Justin, both SILs, MIL, my mom and her husband, Justin's grandparents, and we are partly done with two of Justin's cousins.
Who do you still need to shop for? FIL, Justin's aunt, three of Justin's cousins, we need to finish the other two cousins, two of my BFFs, and SILs birthday gift (her bday is 12/30).

Haven't even started. The only people we're buying for this year are kids, though.
Anyone done Christmas shopping? Nope
Who have you purchased for so far? My sister, brother, some things for B and Chance, some for Scott,some for MIL, some for my mom, and after today I will be done with my grandparents and my aunt & uncle
Who do you still need to shop for? mom, dad, MIL, FIL, B, another aunt & uncle, 1 small thing to finish scott and maybe Jeff - we may just do stockings and save $ for vacation in the spring!
I've starting making a list of things M and I want/need because our moms have been asking. Other than that, haven't even started to think about what I might buy for people.
My lab is moving 2 weeks from tomorrow/Wednesday. As the lab manager a lot (aka all) of that responsibility falls on me. It's to the point where I can't fall asleep Sunday nights because I'm laying there thinking about what I need to do that week and thinking about the move. I literally have no space for Christmas present ideas. I'm probably going to end up shopping Christmas Eve because I wouldn't have had the time or energy to do it earlier.
I've only bought one thing so far, a sock monkey for Elena at a craft show.
I have ideas for my nephews, but that is it.

Anyone done Christmas shopping? A little bit
Who have you purchased for so far? A pair of new shoes and a button down for DH, we bought a t-shirt and pint glass for SIL's boyfriend when we were in Boston
Who do you still need to shop for? DH (his main gift-which will be a MacBook Pro), Oscar, Mom, Dad, sister, BIL, niece, MIL, FIL, SIL, other SIL, her DH, nephew...pretty much everyone
I have quite a bit so far. I bought alot of stuff last year after Christmas (as I always do).
This year for my family, we are doing stocking stuffers so gift cards are on the list. We are only giving presents to the girls.
As for my ILs, well we will see. They will be in Mexico again so I am hoping it will be a low key Xmas....
Anyone done Christmas shopping? I've pretty much finished for Mariela. I just want to find her a Care Bear online (Share Bear in particular). I still have to shop/make gifts for everyone else. DH and I are holding off and will be doing a joint X-mas gift when tax refund time comes. I think we're finally going to get our flat panel for above the fireplace.
Who have you purchased for so far? I bought my Mom a "Nana" frame as she finally decided that's what Mariela should call her. Mariela is getting a tea set, music table/walker, rocking horse, fake cell phone, a Max stuffed dog from the Grinch book/movie and the How the Grinch Stole Christmas book (I plan on reading it to her every year as a Christmas tradition along with the Christmas story), Minnie Mouse doll, a toy box, and her very first Cabbage Patch doll. We'll probably also get her a convertible carseat if they go on sale (Evenflo 65) and we're shopping for another stroller as she's about outgrown the infant seat and Snap'n Go.
Who do you still need to shop for? All 5 of our nephews (ages 5 to 2 mo). My siblings (probably all GCs b/c it's easier to ship), my Grandmother, and my Dad. I think I'm going to do homemade soup in a jar kits for my Grandmother, parents, and a few of my closest coworkers. We don't exchange gifts with adults on Alexi's side as buying for 5 kids is PLENTY!
I have nothing for Hannukah yet... and I doubt I will- we don't really have the extra cash this year with starting acupuncture. I'm hoping to talk to SIL and see if we can skip presents for them- it's typically a waste of money.
I could care less about giving my sister & brother presents too... they are so tough to shop for and I want to get them something they'd actually use.
I'm feeling rather scrooge like
Anyone done Christmas shopping? almost
Who have you purchased for so far? Patrick and Brendan (they are both almost done - need to do B's stocking, and I should be done with P but there's one more thing I may pick up). We've also started our projects for everyone else.
Who do you still need to shop for? We have to finish the projects for our siblings and our parents. I'm also sewing my niece a few things - hooded bath towel and some pants.
