I am! I'll do wrapping on Saturday afternoon and I will be completely done!

Almost! Everyone but DD is done - I wait to finish shopping for her until after her birthday (12/11) so I have a better idea of what to get. But everything is saved on amazon so I will just need to order.
I also have a few things to finish that I am making. But I have all of the materials just need some free time!

I voted other, because I’m done all the wrapped gifts, but I still have a little bit of stocking stuff to get.

I’m mostly done the kids and Dh but keep buying more then having to buy for other to even it out. I need to lie everything out and see what I have.
I haven’t got anything for my mom/step dad/dad/in laws. ♀️

@crazydoglady: Even though I am "done" I think almost is a more accurate description because inevitably I miss someone and have to frantically shop on Christmas Eve.

I have shopped for all the kids I'm buying for (my boys, nieces, nephew), but have done very little for any of the adults. I really would prefer if we could just buy for the kids. It's more fun.

Oh goodness I’ve barely started! Thankfully we don’t really buy gifts outside of immediate family!

Almost! All I have left are gift cards for teachers and I’m waiting for the target gift card sale (this Sunday!) to get them.

Pretty much so I voted yes. Might get another idea from dh, need gift cards like @JennyPenny: and then I think that’s it. Still waiting on a few I ordered and need to wrap some more.
We have two January bdays so I also have that done since it’s easier to think about it together.

Ugh, I wish I was done. @jhd: Agreed! I would much rather just shop for the kiddos. The adults stress me out and I inevitably just pick stuff of their list and it's boring.

@LadyDi: we don't even go as far as lists so i often just do gift cards for them to enjoy a meal out together because i have no idea what else to do! it would save so much trouble if we could just do a secret santa among the adults or just skip it all together.

Almost, I have 3 people that I still need to buy for and I have no ideas! Also DS came home from school today with a note about a secret Santa book exchange in his class which just feels like something else to add to my list right now. I did get my cards in the mail today though

Almost! A few stocking stuffers left. A gift with a super short return window so I'm waiting as long as I dare to order. And I want to take the kids to buy a present for dh but they are terrible at keeping secrets so that will wait till last minute too. Now I just need to wrap and get boxes in the mail!

Wow, I wish. My biggest struggle every year is my DH’s whole family. They are all amazing gift buyers and usually buy gifts over the course of months of searching local second hand shops for really good stuff that is marked down to almost nothing. I do not have time to do this but find that on top of never knowing what to get anyone, that I either feel like I’m overspending and making them uncomfortable, or under spending without putting in the effort that they have to get something really great. And when I leave it to my DH he forgets presents for like at least half the people. I need to find a better system. And none of them will share any wish lists with me! They usually just say they don’t really know or need anything, but since they all have presents for us I don’t feel like we can skip it.

I'm almost done with the kids and DH, but have to buy for my family yet and figure out what we're doing for DH's fam... we talked about doing an activity together instead of gifts, but haven't discussed any further.

Kids and DH are done, extended family is *mostly* done, but still have a few stragglers. Fully need to wrap, though!

Almost. Things got pretty unorganized this year because I started early, so I've started wrapping and organizing and then I can see if things are even for the kids. Probably need more stocking stuffers and maybe 1 or 2 more things for my son.
I need to get some stocking stuffers for my husband, and figure out my dad's gift. I'm in better shape than usual for my parents/brother's family this year!
