I still have to make photo calendars for the grandparents and pick up 2 gift cards. I think I'm otherwise done, but keep thinking I've forgotten someone.
Somewhere between 50% and 75%. I feel like little things are creeping up, whereas a few days ago, I thought I was in good shape.
I don't buy for friends, and we exchange with very few adult family members, so this is a little ridiculous. Maybe that will be a resolution: finish 2017 Christmas shopping before Christmas Eve.

100% done! Earliest I can remember in recent years. May end up getting some more filler, stocking stuffer things this upcoming week, but that's not a must.
I'm trying to find hibiki japanese harmoney whiskey for under $75 in Central Ohio. No luck so far - actually I just can't find it in Central Ohio. We have a large Japanese population so I'm surprised I can't find it. No time to have it shipped and shipping costs would put it above the budgeted amount.
Do you guys have total wine? They have it for $62.99 at mine.
I wish, I'd go get it there! Their map shows the closest store as Lousivlle, Ky.
I still need to get stocking stuffers for David, H and the dog. H and I have a $200 stocking stuffer budget for each other... and I'm having a hard time finding $200 of stuff to spend on him, lol. I feel like I'm easier- get me a necklace, perfume, candy, DONE. He's harder. So far I have combs and ball powder spray. I'll probably get a nice bottle of scotch.
I was very uninspired this year. I'm usually done, wrapping and all, by Thanksgiving and I'm usually excited to see them open their presents. This year, blah. 75% done and nothing I'm terribly excited to give.
I blame Comey.
I feel the exact same way. Blaming Comey seems reasonable.
I checked 100% but it's really 99% because I have a few stocking stuffers left to get for DD and DH. But I'm just going to pick up some candy while I'm grocery shopping this week, so easy. Everything is wrapped and under the tree too! I feel very accomplished and organized this year.
I picked 75% because we still need delivery on some items, and have 2 minor items to purchase (which DH may have done last night). But I don't want to get cocky becuase they all need to be WRAPPED and organized and that is a ton of work - likely as much effort as we have already done.

I still need to get stuff for MIL/FIL, the BIL/SIL that we picked in the family gift exchange, and finish up my brother and my sister and her husband.
I already know what I'm getting the last three, I just need to make the purchases. And actually, DH just reminded me that we're going to get MIL/FIL a couple of weeks of Blue Apron meals as a gift, so the only ones that we really need to come up with something for is BIL/SIL.

Haven't started, but I'm not doing gifts this year. My husband did all the shopping for his family and my family doesn't really do gifts, so I'm opting out of Xmas.

Oh, hey. Just realized that I was right-- I forgot my 2-month old nephew.
Anyone have ideas for a baby who does not need clothes and who has a same-sex older sibling?
I had planned to get them a family membership somewhere and figure that it covered both kids. But I ended up doing something different for the older nephew, and just realized I never really had a plan B for the younger one.
I guess I'll probably just do some sort of rattle or grabby things that hang on the car seat handle, unless someone has a great idea?

I always do books for kids if I don't have any other ideas.
