Well, I don’t mean to BRAG …. and don’t be MAD at me …. but I’m finished with my Christmas shopping! I try to do it gradually, keeping my eyes open all year long for great bargains on things I’m confident the kiddos will love. My oldest (almost 13) wants new bedspread, etc. for her room. Next daughter wanted an ipod. Son wanted nothing but football / basketball jerseys from his fave teams. Youngest wanted a Leap Pad. I also do “group” gifts like board games & videos.
I’ve started Christmas shopping already, although I’m far from done! But I pick things up throughout the year as people mention what they want or I find something on sale. I keep a notebook in my purse with all my purchases recorded so I don’t forget what I’ve bought. It really helps take the stress out of trying to find everything at the last minute along with the holiday crowds! I do a lot of online shopping, too.
