Yikes, you guys are making me feel behind and it's only October. I'm going to start making my list... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-bought-any-holiday-gifts-yet/page/2#post-2310047 Sun, 04 Oct 2015 07:49:10 +0000 KissKissBangBang 2310047@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have!<br /> I purchased something off etsy for my hubby (in September) and some clothes/toys for my nephews.</p> <p>I started a list of ideas so I can keep a look-out for deals. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-bought-any-holiday-gifts-yet#post-2309455 Fri, 02 Oct 2015 23:37:20 +0000 Reese 2309455@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, I will probably start after Halloween. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-bought-any-holiday-gifts-yet#post-2309444 Fri, 02 Oct 2015 23:09:48 +0000 photojane 2309444@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The jet.com recommendation helped me out. I just bought 4 things for Sadie! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-bought-any-holiday-gifts-yet#post-2309432 Fri, 02 Oct 2015 22:07:32 +0000 MrsB2012 2309432@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I bought a bunch of stuff when target closed down. All toys for the girls, wish I had gotten more adult stuff then too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-bought-any-holiday-gifts-yet#post-2309300 Fri, 02 Oct 2015 19:00:02 +0000 petitenoisette 2309300@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I haven't even begun to think of holiday gifts! My LO is only 7 months though so I'm not worried about impressing her too much ;) </p> <p>But this is what amazon prime is for anyway! Over the last few years I've realized how little I enjoy shopping in person, and last year in particular I was 7 months pregnant so it was particularly tiring to shop so I now make it my mission to do everything online. </p> <p>Also as much as possible I try to convince my family that we should only do gifts for the little ones. I don't need presents, I just like spending time together, eating good food and drinks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-bought-any-holiday-gifts-yet#post-2309282 Fri, 02 Oct 2015 18:39:23 +0000 farawayyama 2309282@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! Christmas is my favourite day of the year! I have so far a soft toy Santa dog for DD plus 3 (soon to be 4) books, a plush Santa dog for my stepmother, a book for my MIL and a book for my FIL, a handful of things for DH (stocking stuffers mostly), plus I've ordered a CD of DD's daycare pictures to use for photo gifts for my nz family back home (I'll order from the nz website to save money on shipping).</p> <p>We have a huge income and a tight budget, so I shop deals throughout the year and plan obsessively. I love it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-bought-any-holiday-gifts-yet#post-2309246 Fri, 02 Oct 2015 17:31:39 +0000 hellobeeboston 2309246@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No. I'm bad like that. I wil buy everything the week of most likely </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-bought-any-holiday-gifts-yet#post-2309228 Fri, 02 Oct 2015 17:02:07 +0000 youboots 2309228@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, I slowly shop year round and stash stuff in my closet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-bought-any-holiday-gifts-yet#post-2309212 Fri, 02 Oct 2015 16:37:34 +0000 PawPrints 2309212@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sorrycharlie: I did peppermint sugar scrubs for people last year and everyone loved them. Super easy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-bought-any-holiday-gifts-yet#post-2309061 Fri, 02 Oct 2015 14:48:20 +0000 daniellemybelle 2309061@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@babycanuck: @sorrycharlie: We did homemade gifts one year and I really enjoyed it! We did sugar scrubs that I think turned out great but some family members seemed like they would have preferred gift cards, ha.</p> <p>I do gift cards for a lot of folks to make life easier on myself and it's been made clear that's what they like anyway. I have in my head what I want to do for LO - I am going to wait for Black Friday/Cyber Monday to get everything! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-bought-any-holiday-gifts-yet#post-2309053 Fri, 02 Oct 2015 14:35:10 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2309053@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not yet, but I need to. I feel like my list is kinda long this year. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-bought-any-holiday-gifts-yet#post-2309047 Fri, 02 Oct 2015 14:19:54 +0000 LuLu Mom 2309047@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I bought my first one today! pre-ordered Aladdin on Amazon :) </p> <p>I will start getting stuff here and there, I have my list made out so it's just watching for prices. I still don't know what big gift I'm going to get my oldest daughter, the baby is getting "renewed museum and zoo passes" plus some little things...she's too young to know any different right (is this bad??) </p> <p>I have to figure out 3 nieces and a nephew, but otherwise we have scaled way back on present buying which has been nice (decided mutually with family) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-bought-any-holiday-gifts-yet#post-2309044 Fri, 02 Oct 2015 14:16:51 +0000 Mrs. Pickles 2309044@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My nephews are done, DS2 is done and I have Christmas jammies and outfits for both of my boys </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-bought-any-holiday-gifts-yet#post-2308561 Fri, 02 Oct 2015 08:13:10 +0000 Mamaof2 2308561@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yep! I emailed my nieces and nephews in Sept and they were like "Ummm, Aunt G its not even October!!!" :silly: </p> <p>But they told me and its all been bought and wrapped.... sitting in a closet upstairs now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-bought-any-holiday-gifts-yet#post-2308537 Fri, 02 Oct 2015 07:59:31 +0000 Mrs. Pen 2308537@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was looking just the other day for a gift for my niece and nephew! We drew names to save money so our family of three will only buy for three people, and each other. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-bought-any-holiday-gifts-yet#post-2308515 Fri, 02 Oct 2015 07:43:25 +0000 Mrs Hedgehog 2308515@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I slowly purchase as I find good deals all year long. We have pretty much all of her Christmas/Hanukkah done which is a relief since #2 will be here in Dec and I won't have the time or energy to deal with it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-bought-any-holiday-gifts-yet#post-2308503 Fri, 02 Oct 2015 07:36:13 +0000 LulaBee 2308503@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Haven't started yet, but I need to as I'm having a baby next month. We are doing "want, need, wear, read" this year, which I feel takes some pressure off. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-bought-any-holiday-gifts-yet#post-2308491 Fri, 02 Oct 2015 07:17:16 +0000 Bubbles 2308491@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wow you are all so organised, I havent even thought about it yet! And I have DS birthday in there too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-bought-any-holiday-gifts-yet#post-2308475 Fri, 02 Oct 2015 06:43:01 +0000 Ajsmommy 2308475@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes. Actually basically done for DD. I also crafted gifts for family members so they are pretty much done too. Need to figure out DH and my other relatives.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-bought-any-holiday-gifts-yet#post-2308441 Fri, 02 Oct 2015 05:51:10 +0000 yin 2308441@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've slowly accumulated a few items for my gift closet. I'll probably start thinking about gifts and adding to my Amazon cart. I'll purchase when the price drops low enough and store for Christmas. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-bought-any-holiday-gifts-yet#post-2308439 Fri, 02 Oct 2015 05:42:43 +0000 avivoca 2308439@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have my husband's gift and a couple of stocking stuffers. I have a few birthday's first though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-bought-any-holiday-gifts-yet#post-2308415 Fri, 02 Oct 2015 02:35:48 +0000 lamariniere 2308415@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've started collecting ideas and putting things on a wishlist, but I haven't actually bought anything yet. The hardest is my DH since he usually either doesn't want anything or just buys what he needs. I'm so glad I had an early idea for him, I just need to research it a bit more to find the right one! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-bought-any-holiday-gifts-yet#post-2308233 Thu, 01 Oct 2015 20:40:52 +0000 Applesandbananas 2308233@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. I never buy a ton of gifts, usually just one thing for DH, one thing for my parents, and one thing for my brother. LO gets so much stuff all the time that Christmas isn't a big gift thing for him. It's more about family time and he's way more thrilled by wrapping paper than the actual toys lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-bought-any-holiday-gifts-yet#post-2308231 Thu, 01 Oct 2015 20:40:12 +0000 Mrs.KMM 2308231@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep! I bought my sister's a few weeks ago. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-bought-any-holiday-gifts-yet#post-2308220 Thu, 01 Oct 2015 20:36:50 +0000 fancyfunction 2308220@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No but I have a bunch of stuff saved on my Amazon wish list. And M's bday is 2 weeks before Christmas! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-bought-any-holiday-gifts-yet#post-2308214 Thu, 01 Oct 2015 20:33:46 +0000 cheesetomywhine 2308214@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-bought-any-holiday-gifts-yet#post-2308199 Thu, 01 Oct 2015 20:23:28 +0000 lovehoneybee 2308199@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For Evan I have magnetic tiles "from baby sister" and a set of match box cars with a carrying case, and a Doctor Who blanket for my mom. </p> <p>I usually don't start shopping so soon, but I'm due on Christmas Eve and I want to get as much done as I can now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-bought-any-holiday-gifts-yet#post-2308130 Thu, 01 Oct 2015 19:28:02 +0000 autumnleaves 2308130@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not yet but we have talked about what to get LO. I would like LO to have a learning tower so DH is looking at how to make one using an ikea step stool. We also want to get LO a train set. </p>
