Anyone done with xmas shopping?

I have the majority of my Christmas Shopping done.  The things I still need are just gift cards (for my parents and IL's).  I also still need to get DH a Birthday present (his birthday is early in January), but I may wait a while on that one. 

I'm an extreme planner and I'm also the one buying gifts in August, so this is not unusal for me. 

How far are you into your Christmas shopping?  Is anyone completely done?  Has anyone not started yet?

Re: Anyone done with xmas shopping?

  • I am so behind.... I still have to get something for my mom, step dad, dad, step mom and sister.  

    I have only finished DH and all my nieces and nephews.

  • I have to pick up two things still and get all the boxes/wrapping paper I will need. We really need to get more things for MIL, but I'm trying to get DH and his sisters to handle it. I usually take it on every year because I like to shop, but I just don't have it in me this year.

  • I just have to get a gift card for my dad, but I wanted to ask him if there was anything in particular he wanted that I could buy before I get a gift card.  Just waiting on 2 gifts to arrive from Amazon so I can ship our Arizona gifts out soon.

    Only 18 days!  wow, that doesn't seem like a lot of time  Tongue Tied

  • I usually don't start until Black Friday.  This year I bought about 4 presents prior to that.  Most of the rest of my shopping was done on Black Friday.  Currently I still need to place one online order for 2 gifts, buy 3 gift cards, mail my BFF's gift to Vegas and mail my ornaments for the exchange. 
  • Me!  Well, basically. We're buying a museum membership for my BIL/SIL but not until April (they just had a baby so won't be going anytime soon) and I have to get something for my parents- just waiting for my mom to pick out which one she wants or I'll end up giving them $.  The rest, my husband has to do--- which is pick up 1 thing for the kids and me.  :)

  • I was just thinking this morning it might be time to get started on this Christmas shopping business.  Those shipping deadlines sneak up on ya!  I actually did end up getting something for DH on cyber Monday, so that's one gift purchased.
  • I have one thing for DH, one thing for my dad, one thing for my mom, and one thing for my SIL.  I need to get all of them at least one other thing, something for my brothers, my other SIL, my nephew,  my aunt and uncle in CA, my MI uncle, my grandparents, my secret santa, my nestie person, and all of DH's side (7 more people).  FML.

  • I'm completely done. (I have to wrap 3 small gifts, though)

    With the exception of making fudge as gifts to some but that won't get done for another two weeks because I do not want to have 20lbs of fudge in my fridge. I would gain all 20lbs in 2 weeks and nobody else would have fudge. ]:

  • I hate to admit this, but I am no where NEAR done shopping.  I am thinking I will go out tomorrow after work and get a bunch of it done.  I am just not thrilled about doing it this year unfortunately :/
  • We are pretty much done, a few random things that H needs to pick up for his family. I need to get started wrapping though.

    We really scaled back this year on the number of gifts and the number of people we are buying for which helped make shopping easier.

  • I bought the first gift yesterday! I don't even know what I'm getting for anyone else.  I need to figure it out soon though I guess.  Maybe I should work on that a little today. Huh?

  • Im almost done.  I just have a few things left.  I did most of my shopping on Black Friday this year.  Which is unsual, because normal Black Friday shopping is all about me Embarrassed

  • I'm pretty much done, but in all fairness we don't have too many people to buy for.  We get presents for each of our parents, my bro/SIL, my niece, my aunt, and the kids.  I'm also the type of person that starts shopping early and I just get deals on things throughout the year and keep them for "present time".  I keep saying that I'm done spending on the kids though, and yet I keep seeing random things that I feel they need. It's so hard not to buy them stuff.
