How Are You Doing On Your Xmas Shopping?

[Luna]

I know I'm finished shopping for everyone except for my boyfriend....


I was one of the psychos running through the mall and target trying to get all of the good sales on Friday... Got a lot of great deals at the Six Flag's outlet too.

HM! Who woulda thought there was something good about Jersey?

(Haha.. jk.. I love NJ....afterall I lived there for 20 years of my life. )


Sooo.,. .Anyone else!?

 

[utopia]

not even close! I got a couple of things early in november when I made a big shopping trip, but other than that I've done nothing. I need to get to it

 

[macchiom]

Unfortunately I haven’t even started yet and I’m afraid I’ll be waiting until the last minute as usual.

It's going to be a hard-candy Christmas for me. I'm trying to save $$$. I'm making all of my gifts this year, so I'm far from being done...

so far bought a johnnie loves rosie sequinned hair clip for my sister and two lavendar filled hearts on a string for my mummy! Also going to get Stella M perfume for my sister & something else . No idea yet what to buy my dad ......or my brother......or my husband. Men are soooo difficult. especially complete fuss pot men like the ones who are in my life!!!

I am so behind in my shopping! I swore to myself I was going to get all my Christmas shopping done by November 1. But of course, that didn't happen! lol.
I did pick up a lovely white angora sweater for my younger sister the other day. Pricey, but sister's are worth it, right? :-)
I've picked up a few little accessories for my mom and older sister, too.
I'm planning on crocheting my brother a scarf (that isn't tacky, is it?) and I'll probably end up making everyone else one as well! haha I am getting cheap, I know..

I haven't bought anything for anyone yet.

But I do know what I"m buyin for my mom and dad and boyfriend.
Its everyone else that is confusing me!

I've agreed with a few friends not to exchange gifts, as well as with my brother... makes things a little easier so I can enjoy the moment more.

Other than that, still have plenty of people to worry about. I never wait until the last minute, but yet I haven't started seriously shopping. I better get on it!

It's hard to have your shopping done that early... a lot of the times if the person doesn't like what you got them, or it doesn't fit... you can only return things within 30 days to get your money back or anything...

I remember when you used to be able to buy stuff in June and return it in December.

luna...that is truly impressive...and i can't believe you were brave enought to go to target on friday...was it mayhem?...

i don't have any x-mas shopping to do.... only my parents and i know they never want anything...so i'll just get them some small token...

brought my dad back a book from the tate modern in london...and he told me to keep it in my library...and bought my mom chocolates and she tried to feed them to me...i know she will wind up giving them to a friend...

they are impossible...that's why i cook... it's something they enjoy, plus they get to spend ttime with me...which is what they really want most of all anyway...
i'll probably cook again for x-mas...

target was nuts... I only needed one stupid playstation game for my brother from there, so I had to sprint to the electronics section (where everyone else was running to, too of course)... But I was smart, instead of running down the main aisle, I took a detour through the towels and houseware section and got to run at a full sprint and beat everyone out.

The big item that everyone was after was these portable dvd players for 89 bucks. Some no name brand.. they were probably crap. One lady had like 15 of them in her cart.

Yes.. It was crazy... and that is one day of the year that I join the masses and be crazy myself.

I think I'm done. Maybe a couple more things...

 

[meowmix]

AAGHH i'm so behind!!! i don't know what to get my boyfriend...he said he just wants a cal sweatshirt but i know if i just get him that he'll like yell at me... and i can't decide whether to get my mom some crystal figurestatuethingie or an hermes scarf. i saw this gorrrgeous scarf in bev hills last (last?) week

 

[softgrey]

why not give her a bag meowmix...since you seem to love shopping for them so much...

 

[Kimkhuu]

I haven't bough anything yet but here's what I am planning to buy:

-My brother - A playstation system (I'll wait until it comes with a free game) and the cross chain he's been dying to have ever since he lost his.

-My mom - Clinique Happy Heart perfume, an anti-aging gift box from Neostrata

-My dad - A black cap, a black scarf and a sweater from Club Monaco

-My best friend - A silver necklace

-My other friend (Steph) - The MAC holiday brush set she's been wanting ever since it came out.

-My friend Z - A box of chocolates......

I am still thinking of what to buy for the remaining people.......

 

[AlexN]

Kim, let's hope none of them read this forum!

I knew I wasn't really going to get it all done that early, but I was chatting with my gal pals back in September and they were saying how they were almost done with all their Christmas shopping! and so I thought I'd try it. But it's alright, I enjoy running out and buying everything on Christmas eve

my mom's monogamous when it comes to bags... the bag shes carrying now i got for her last year and it is a damier alma... and the only other bag she wants is a red hermes kelly, for which the waiting lists are still closed (as far as i know) so i'm thinking...maybe i'll get her a scarf to tie on the bag in the future and perhaps when i go to europe there may be a waiting list open *crosses fingers*
one of my friends really wants a fake balenciaga but i don't know how i feel about that... she has tons of fake bags and loves them
and i think i may get one of my good friends here a simple gucci tote with green handles...which is great timing since sales are beginning
i am soo behind cuz i'm sooo indecisive!
