QOTD Wednesday (holidays & shopping)
How far along are you with your shopping? Any great finds that you can't wait to give?
Re: QOTD Wednesday (holidays & shopping)
I am almost finished. I have one big thing left to get Jordan and I need to get preston a couple of small toys to wrap. I have my 2 cousins to buy for that we drew names for at my grandmothers. I still don't have my mom anything, but other than that I just need a few gift cards. I am finished with all of the "expensive" stuff.
I can't wait to give the kids their gifts and my sister. They are always the ones I get excited about.
I have bought half of my Nestie's gift, and that's it. So I'm not doing so hot on getting my Christmas shopping done!
It's also hard when you have no clue what people want. My parents? Impossible to shop for. Same with my older brother.
I'm farther along than I usually am at this stage, but still have some work to do. Since we'll be in the US next week, it's kind of forced us to think things through early, and hopefully by the end of next week we'll be done.
For the most part, we usually just buy people what they ask for, so no big surprised that I'm overly excited to give.
The biggest question mark for me is DH. I'm still debating whether to get him an iPad or not. Does anybody know if those are easy to get now, or are they all sold out? That could make my decision easier!

I am not sure about everywhere else but here in MS they are very easy to find. I went to best buy on Sunday and bought one for my cousin's fiance. I was talking to him on thanksgiving and I was telling him I had to go to best buy to get my sisters ipod touch for my mom and he asked me to pick up an ipad for his fiance and gave me his credit card. I was very worried I would be line forever or get beat up for one, but it was no problem. I walked right up to the apple counter and bought both the ipod and ipad within 10 minutes.
I'm mostly done, but we aren't doing much this year since we are going to Las Vegas.
I made scarves for my sister, SIL, MIL and BFF. I hope to get a hat done for my BIL. I also have a book for my sister and a shirt that Jim got for her.
I still need something to round out my Elfster gift.
Really, all I have to do is Jim and I know what I want to get him, but he keeps balking at the cost. I want to get him a year membership to the firing range. We don't go very often because it's kind of expensive for the two of us ($24 for two monthly memberships and $10 for range time). With the membership, if we went only once a month, it would be $25 a visit, plus we'd get a discount on purchases and 6 guest passes.

I haven't really started. To be honest though I'm not even sure who I have to buy gifts for. My brother doesn't want to exchange gifts this year and my sister and I haven't discussed it yet. Kyle and I have decided on taking trips instead of exchanging gifts.
I do need to get gifts for my parents though. My mom wants to go to Sephora and get her makeup done and then have me get her any items that she loves. I guess we better get her in to Sephora before too long.
I have bought half of my nestie gift. I have to go get the other half.
As for the three other gifts I'm buying. I've got nothing. This year our families drew names via elfster! So I get to buy my Dad and BIL's girlfriend and DH of course.
I have only begun shopping for my Nestie gift, and I think I am about done that.
Otherwise, I haven't even started. My goal is to go this weekend, but we will see how motivated I am. I kind of just want a weekend of doing nothing. If I don't do it, I have taking the 22nd off, and will be last minute doing it all then.
I will be excited to see the boys open gifts this year. I think they are finally at an age, where they will be excited to tear the paper off of the gifts, but time will tell.
I've barely started. I've gotten most of my SS gift, 2 things for Derek and something for Derek's sister.
I have ideas for some things, but really need to sit down and make a list.
We'll just not tell H about this little fact, m'kay?
Now jumping domestically.
Well that was a crazy couple of years.
I feel like such a "Grinch." I haven't done any shopping whatsoever but I hope to get started this weekend. I already decided what I'm getting my SS so that should be in the mail by this weekend.
On another note, I also need to get the Christmas tree out along with all the decorartions. I'm seriously behind thanks to school.
I've ordered my SS gift, though I have a feeling part of it is going to end up back ordered so I might go to plan B.
The only other shopping I really have is for the family we adopted (single mom with a 5 year old and 18 year old). The little girl is done, she requested a my little pony bedding set, an easy bake oven and a doodle bear. The boy is 18 and asked for a nice basketball bag, basketball socks and gift cards. We got the bag, but I'm unsure on socks and *hate* giving gift cards.
Ugh....not much so far. I have bought:
--part of my Nestie SS gift
--The People of Wal-Mart little coffee-table like book for my BIL (it is hysterical and I can't wait to give it to him)
--Angry Birds dog toys for Sadie and DH's parents' dog, Toby (Max doesn't understand toys, so I don't bother)
Yep, that's it. Crap. I need to get busy.
