I've bought one gift each for my 2 daughters and my husband. But I may end up taking back the gift for my older daughter once she makes out her list. I also have to buy birthday gifts for her a few weeks before Christmas so I've got a long way to go!
How much shopping have you done so far?

I just put a new bicycle and Skylanders swap force along with 2 3pk people on layaway today. It is already sold out in my local Target and one Walmart so I am not waiting for low prices. I need availability LOL

I've got everyone's "big gifts" done. I'll pick up some small things to go along with them and then hoping to spend Black Friday mostly shopping for me and any Angel Tree and Senior Tree gifts I need.

Bought my first 3 christmas presents on Friday this past weekend ... all for our dd but i started so... thats what counts

I've gotten most of my shopping done for the kids, waiting on some good deals for 3ds games. My oldest wants clothes, shoes, and accs. mostly so I still have that. Trying to get the kids shopping done before I do the grownup shopping. Then I don't really obsess so much on bargain shopping, at least not the way I do with the kids toys.

I'm almost done. I have a couple of movies and games left to buy for my daughter. Then I have to find something to buy my 2 grandbabies that are both under 2 and have everything a kid could have! I got my husband and my gift taken care of ( yes, I buy my own gift ) and I have still need stocking stuffers and then I'm done.
Posted Nov 6, 2013 - 5:36 am
Only 2 gifts so far...although I only have about 9 people to buy for and some only get 1 gift or so. The things that I bought I only got because 1 was from ebay so I purchased it before the prices start to go up as it gets closer to Christmas and the other was because I had a coupon for the store that I bought it from.
Looking forward to getting most things done on BF...if I can wait that long LOL
Posted Nov 6, 2013 - 8:28 am
Almost done! Whew. Kids are done, brothers are done, mom is done. All I need now is a power drill for my husband, some books for my dad, and some doggy toys for the family dog. So I'm about $100 away from calling it finished. Now to start wrapping....

I have only bought a few things so far. I'm usually almost done by now. It's been a hard year. I'm hoping to figure out what I need to go out and buy now, what to order online, and what to wait until BF for soon. I need to come up with my game plan.
Posted Nov 6, 2013 - 4:20 pm
Wow, you guys are good! I've barely started... but today I did put some lists together, so that's a start!
Posted Nov 8, 2013 - 1:13 pm
Sad but my kids are too old for toys and such. Ages 19 and 14. They just want giftcards and money. Not much to get at all so I am just looking for the house this Black Friday. I've gotten a few Victoria Secret deals for my daughter and some of her favorite Shampoo and hair products but thats it. We remodeled our 3 bedrooms complete with hardwood floors, furniture, etc. That was our christmas to ourselves. lol

Nothing major. A few items. Going to Pennys now to pick up a cuple of things with the 10 off 25. Hopefully I will get in the swing of things and get to shopping. Trying to wait for the best deals but not sure if there trying to be found.
Posted Nov 8, 2013 - 6:53 pm
I'm about 25% done now....slowly but surely. Ordered a few things online that I'm waiting on. Grabbing things as sales pop up.
Posted Nov 8, 2013 - 8:45 pm
I'd say I'm about 10% done which is just where I want to be;so I'm happy!
