I've tried online shopping but it frustrates me. I like to see/wrap/etc. I think everyone's getting cookie platters unless the baby comes next week. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hows-the-christmas-shopping#post-25088 Thu, 01 Dec 2011 05:52:06 +0000 SweetMamaM 25088@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Finished with the gifts, bar a voucher for cousin and her husband that I actually need to pick up when I am in the area next Monday. Need to complete the Christmas cards and am hoping they are in the post by next Wednesday :)</p> <p>Oh my bad, I also need to pick up the perishables for FI's Christmas stocking but I will worry about that closer to the time (obv). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hows-the-christmas-shopping#post-25080 Thu, 01 Dec 2011 02:43:41 +0000 looch 25080@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was hoping there were some ideas in here I could borrow! I've basically got everything done, but need something for my dad.</p> <p>I really want to get him a Tshirt with DS's face on it and "my granddad thinks I am cute" but he'd wear it out of the house, sooo no on that.</p> <p>I've got my brother and future SIL done, DS is done, I know what I am getting my husband, I just have to get it, my mom is done and we're done with the swap for DH's family. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hows-the-christmas-shopping#post-25026 Wed, 30 Nov 2011 23:42:59 +0000 Mrs. D 25026@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I only have one present bought so far. I have to get my tail in gear, but I haven't been in the mood. Add to that the fact that we don't know what we WANT to get anyone. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hows-the-christmas-shopping#post-24584 Wed, 30 Nov 2011 16:25:06 +0000 Rubies 24584@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I haven't even started. This is bad. So very bad. SIGH. Shopping malls are becoming a nightmare and each day it seems to get worse! ACK! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hows-the-christmas-shopping#post-24579 Wed, 30 Nov 2011 16:18:13 +0000 amyc13 24579@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was done before Thanksgiving. It's the first year I've ever been so on the ball about it and I am THRILLED. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hows-the-christmas-shopping#post-24533 Wed, 30 Nov 2011 15:37:58 +0000 winniebee 24533@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What Christmas shopping?? </p> <p>Seriously, I have barely started. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hows-the-christmas-shopping#post-24445 Wed, 30 Nov 2011 14:11:23 +0000 mediagirl 24445@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have to buy something for my Dad, then my husband has to figure out what to give his Mom. I need to make some cards for my Gram and ... we'll be done! Oh, I have a scrapbook for my brother and sis-in-law and their new baby and I just need to glue down some backgrounds. I'm pretty happy with where I am! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hows-the-christmas-shopping#post-24406 Wed, 30 Nov 2011 13:40:27 +0000 heffalump 24406@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>And I thought I was the only one who did things early. I'm all done, just need a last minute touch up on a DIY gift. We're Jewish and I never know when Chanukah is so always better to get things done early. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hows-the-christmas-shopping#post-24399 Wed, 30 Nov 2011 13:33:59 +0000 .twist. 24399@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not even close. I have most of the stuff for my husband. NOTHING for anyone else.</p> <p>I'm usually better than this! Oh well, it's been a busy couple months. Gift cards are looking like mighty fine gifts this year. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hows-the-christmas-shopping#post-24396 Wed, 30 Nov 2011 13:31:27 +0000 Rosie Girl 24396@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have to finish my SIL, pick up her boyfriends, and get something for my dad and FIL. Then I am done! I am going to be making a few things too as extras, so I do have to do that, but thats no biggie :) I love being done early and not having to stress about it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hows-the-christmas-shopping#post-24392 Wed, 30 Nov 2011 13:28:10 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 24392@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm close to being done. I have most of my family finished and have started shopping for my husband. I've even already made my gift for the annual family white elephant party. I already wrapped a couple gifts too. I think the tree looks sad without anything underneath it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hows-the-christmas-shopping#post-24366 Wed, 30 Nov 2011 13:15:36 +0000 Adira 24366@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ugh, lucky! I'm not even close! December is so hard for me because both my parents' birthdays are also in December! So I'm done the birthday shopping and half the Christmas shopping, but I still have a ton more to get! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hows-the-christmas-shopping#post-24352 Wed, 30 Nov 2011 13:08:28 +0000 prettylizy 24352@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I finished shopping 2 weeks ago, just have a few more things to wrap and then that's it. Next on the list is sending out cards! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hows-the-christmas-shopping#post-24337 Wed, 30 Nov 2011 12:57:08 +0000 chopsuey 24337@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm done.. almost! Sent out Christmas cards last week (super early!), ordered and sent out Christmas presents. Just need to buy a giftcard for BIL and ship it off.<br /> Sometimes I wish we didn't have to exchange gifts. It takes so much pressure off and just allows me to enjoy Jesus' birthday! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hows-the-christmas-shopping#post-24335 Wed, 30 Nov 2011 12:56:13 +0000 carrieknitscake 24335@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm almost done. I haven't gotten my in law gifts, but I usually leave that up to my husband. I shop throughout the year and make knitted items for friends, so I'm almost all done. During a stress relief staycation at a hotel in the city, I picked up a few more gifts for my family like meat thermometers and a French rolling pin for my mom. I need to start wrapping gifts soon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hows-the-christmas-shopping#post-24330 Wed, 30 Nov 2011 12:52:58 +0000 Mrs.KMM 24330@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm done with DH and my immediate family (parents and siblings). I still need to buy a couple items for our extended family exchange.</p> <p>DH is responsible for coming up with things for his side of the family and I don't think he's even started yet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hows-the-christmas-shopping#post-24325 Wed, 30 Nov 2011 12:48:08 +0000 tequiero21 24325@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>wow, nice! i haven't even started! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hows-the-christmas-shopping#post-24318 Wed, 30 Nov 2011 12:40:35 +0000 mrsjyw 24318@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>UGH! I WISH! I am usually done with Christmas shopping before Thanksgiving, but have been a slacker this year.</p> <p>I still have my parents, inlaws, and husband. I've started a few gifts for cousins, but that's about it! :P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hows-the-christmas-shopping#post-24311 Wed, 30 Nov 2011 12:27:58 +0000 MaisyMay 24311@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>As of yesterday, we are completely finished with our Christmas shopping save 1 more gift for my father-in-law. All he wanted was for us to renew a magazine for him, but we want to get him something to open too. We have one other friend that we might buy a gift for, but aren't sure yet. Other than that, we are DONE!!!! (I'm so excited about that). How's you holiday shopping going? </p>
