Christmas shopping status

[bk1]

Are you done shopping yet?
Do you still have wrapping to do?
Need help shopping for anyone?

[katespade]

The only shopping I have left is for the dogs. I know what they're getting, so I just need to go to the store and pick everything up.

Yes, I'm that kind of person. lol.

I need to get my dad a gift card (Amazon or Ebay, so basically I need to go to Walgreens). I need to order my brother out west something that can be shipped by Christmas and under $40. I'm stuck on him. I need to get stocking stuffers for H because we do those for each other. Other than that, I'm done.

[grover]

Nope!
We finished shopping for the pups.
My sister is in charge of my parents gift.
I know I'm just doing gift cards for my siblings bc I just don't care and they haven't kept in contact this year so I have no idea of anything that's actually on their lists.

H is responsible for his family's gifts bc I told him if he wanted me to shop he had to tell me what I was getting before last week. I'm not off for break til Friday and the plan is to drive at six am for his family so who knows what he plans on getting them at this point. (He doesn't get home til almost 7 and I don't see him going back out. I'm not braving the mall this week.)

I decided 2 hours ago to buy little snack packs for my nieces and nephews so I'll need to get that done tomorrow.

Haven't wrapped a thing

[bk1]

I just barely started wrapping yesterday.

Still have BIL and SIL left. I really wish we would stop switching adult gifts with them and only buy for the kids.

[awick14]

I have one gift left to get. My 12 yr old niece.

Everything else is already wrapped and under the tree.

Anyone have ideas for a 12 yr old girl. Gifts I know she is getting, a cell phone and case from her mom, fishing stuff from my parents. (She loves fishing with my parents when they take her camping for a week every summer.)

[pooh8402]

Done shopping, except for E's daycare teachers. Which will be done today.

Have not wrapped a thing.

[Blue Moon]

awick14, I had the hardest time shopping for my 12 year old niece this year. I ended up getting her a pair of cute patterned leggings and flowy cardigan sweater from Kohls. In the past, I've gotten her tickets to the movies, manicure/pedicure kit and supplies, costume jewelry, headbands, purse from Target, scarves, etc.

[Blue Moon]

I am done. All wrapped and good to go!

Now I just need to focus on hosting Christmas Eve. I have sooo much to do for that.

[Deleted]

Not even close to being done. We are going tomorrow to finish shopping.

[luv2rn4fun]

I need to get a Starbucks gift card and a couple specialty beers at Trader Joe's.

Still need to wrap everything, which thankfully isn't too much. I am planning to put all of DHs gifts in his gynormous stocking, we have two gifts for C, gift cards for my parents, need to wrap one gift each for ILs...i think that's it!

[HoneySpider]

I'm done with shopping, started wrapping last night and got 3 of DS's things wrapped. Somehow I seem to have a ton of wrapping to do this year.

Food, though, is another story. Between DH and I we were in a grocery store 3 times this weekend and I'm pretty sure we're still going to do at least one, if not 2, stops later this week.

[MrsMB]

All the wrapping......ALLL the wrapping is still left to be done. Yikes.

I'm that kind of person too 💜

In fact, Daisy even gets presents from the grandparents too! 😉

[christy082]

I'm done. I have two more gifts left to wrap.

[wanderingenough]

Oh shoot. Pooh reminded me I need daycare gifts.

[katespade]

christy082 - My mom makes Christmas stockings for my dogs, too (she refers to them as her grand-dogs). I'm pretty sure their stockings are usually bigger than the one she gives me. LOL.

Our pets get more presents from the grandparents then from us. Lol

[awick14]

I figured out a gift for my niece. My sisters suggestion was to get some jewelry making stuff, so we went to Michaels and I saw a soap making kit and I think she will like it. (I thought most of the jewelry making stuff was either to kid like for her or too advanced.)

[krystee]

I still need to pick up three gift cards and do all my wrapping.

[estrellita]

I *think* I just need one more thing for H. The rest of my parents gifts is coming Wed. I need to wrap all of it but I'm off Thu and Fri mostly for that reason!

I do also need daycare gifts. I'm not sure if they are doing class gifts or not so I'm not sure if I should bring something for the kids. I should probably do something for the teachers but I don't even know who is in there half the time, haha. There are 2 teachers that are there in the morning and most of the day, and 2 that are usually there in the evenings but one of them seems to float the rest of the day. Plus there are other teachers that float in and out. I guess I'm not sure still what to do. Maybe small gift cards for the 2 main teachers? I kind of feel bad if I give them something and not anyone else. Ugh. I don't know why this is so difficult. And do I give something to the director? I was going to give her our Christmas card but not sure if I should give her something else?

[wanderingenough]

estrellita - I'm bad, but I think I'm just giving to the main teacher and the assistant teacher. I have no idea who anyone else is. Our old daycare we knew everyone.

[bk1]

I'm waiting for 1 thing to be shipped. 

We still need to figure something out for BIL and SIL.

I need to wrap everything for my girls.


Other then that I'm done! I finished all other wrapping earlier today while both girls napped. Feeling awesome to get so much done. I'm usually done shopping and wrapping by now. 

[Deleted]

Yay! All done!

[katespade]

I just bought a last second gift for H and he's probably going to be mad because I spent way more on him than I said that I would. Oh well, he didn't let me get him any Christmas gifts so he's just going to have to deal with it. lol.

[MrsMB]

I ordered DH's gift from this company I never purchased from before. Stupid move, I know. He asked for something not too common though, in my defense. I had trouble locating something. This company advertised that items would be shipped 24 hours after the order, so it sounded like a win for me. 5 days later, it still hasn't shipped. It's in processing. Luckily, I purchased it through PayPal and can contact the resolution center.

STILL.....now I'm SOL with a gift for DH.

[awick14]

MrsMB- 😞 can you get him a small back up gift or anything and contact this company to see what's up?

I'm going to try to work on that
