Who's finished with their holiday shopping?
I am usually done this time of year, but work and the wedding planning are so overwhelming that I've only bought like 5 presents so far. I feel so far behind, I haven't even wrapped anything yet!

Re: Whose finished with their holiday shopping?
I'm done!!!  Don't worry...you have plenty of time. What helped us was that we ordered a TON of gifts online. We just searched around to get ideas, and then used froogle to find things that everyone would like. It was soooooo nice ordering stuff late at night, and we only went to the mall twice to get the other gifts!

Re: Who's finished with their holiday shopping?
I am like 90% done. Last Friday FH and I hit Kohls and did serious damage. Have few more things to get and then I can say I am done. I even got all the stuff I already bought wrapped. Also got a few things online, love love love online shopping! Don't worry you'll get it done, you just have set a definite schedule of where you need to go and who you need to buy for.
Good Luck.

That's the problem. FH and I have fridays off from work together and we've been hitting the mall the last 2 weeks but he always gets so easily distracted! And when I finally find something to buy for someone, he says "don't spend the $ now we'll get it next week".

Re: Who's finished with their holiday shopping?
Some friends and I hit the mall like a ton of bricks tonight. You can get it done in one day if you really focus. I made like 3 trips to drop bags off in the trunk!!

Re: Who's finished with their holiday shopping?
My FH gets easily distracted also. What I do is give him a mission and send him off in pursuit. Then while he is roaming I gather up all the stuff I need to get and by the time he comes back (empty handed of course or with somehting he found that he wants) I am already headed for the register. If he complains about $$ we're spending I remind him its Christmas and if he doesn't want to spend the money then he can tell everyone why we have no presents for them and look like a cheap skate. Usually works and he shuts up.

Re: Who's finished with their holiday shopping?
I haven't even started. I'm bad. I'm like to shop during the week around mid day, before or after lunch, that way I avoid the crouds.

Re: Who's finished with their holiday shopping?
Only getting for our families and each other...we are having a large dinner with our friends this year-no gifts- and hopefully every year after this! I only have a few friends outside of this "group" to buy for and that can wait until after x-mas as I don't see them often! I'll be doing it all on Dec 22 and 23! Yay!

Re: Who's finished with their holiday shopping?
I'm 90% done with shopping and wrapping - although FH and I promised no presents for each other (we just bought a couch as our Xmas present to each other), but I feel really strange not buying him anything! I might run quick and buy him a nice shirt or something
Planning to finish it all up this weekend :)

Re: Who's finished with their holiday shopping?
I'm almost done. Just need to get a few more things for FH's stocking. This is a huge accomplishment for me since I am usually the one running around the mall on Christmas eve, especially since FH's birthday is today as well - nothing like hitting me up for gifts twice in a very short period!!!!

Re: Who's finished with their holiday shopping?
Totally DONE!
This year was easier though because a lot of my family was really sweet about the upcoming wedding and decided we are not exchanging gifts. So I didn't have to buy for too many people.
I did it all online though. I can't stand stores around the holidays.
