Like the title says, have you already started shopping for holiday gifts?
I have a bunch of things squirreled away. It's so bad, but I swear some of the best deals are actually before the holidays.

Just bought Christmas gifts for DH's two nieces. So they're done.
Gotta figure out my side and our girls. But have to get through birthdays for our niece and nephews first!

Only small stuff that I see for little gifts or stocking stuffers. I have fun collecting these things over a few months.

Yes, the deals are just so good right now. We just bought a new van (Toyota Sienna) so our Christmas budget is very tight this year. I have to start early or else end up buying things full price if I wait until the last few weeks before Christmas.

Yep. I'm like 75% done. I usually don't start so early, though, but I'm due on Christmas Eve...

I started last week, and I feel ahead of the game. I put items in my Amazon cart and wait for them to drop enough in price for me to hit purchase. I think I'm done buying for my kids and have started with my nieces.

I picked up an extra weekend of work just so I would have enough money for Christmas gifts haha! So once I get my paycheck next week, I can shop! I have been looking and have ideas of what to get people, but haven't actually bought anything yet.

I'm a notorious last minute shopper. Like the week of Christmas shopping.
But last weekend, I picked up some cute things for LO's teachers. Yay!

My list is done, but I haven't clicked buy yet. I'm hoping to have it all done and wrapped early.

Little man is pretty much done! We only buy for our parents and my husbands sister soooo not too much left! I got our parents each a picture frame for my son's holiday picture and a candle, need something of substance. His sister usually gets a practical / fun gift card like MAC!

I'm all done! I had fun shopping this year. I think it was easier since we have LO now so we can give photo and handprint type.

Nope! I always wait for the kid's christmas list which doesn't come out till like right before Thanksgiving or early December so I usually do one BIG Christmas shopping run.

Yes, though I normally don't start until almost Thanksgiving. This year I have because I'm due in early January and I'm trying to be a bit more budget conscious this year, so when I see a good deal or have rebates/coupons I'm trying to use them.

I have a couple people actually done and I know what I'm getting most other people. But I like to wait until closer to Christmas, in case something has to be returned I don't want to be outside the return window. For example, I'm getting my husband a pretty expensive pair of shoes, if they don't fit, we don't want to be stuck with them!

Yes! I have a few things tucked away for our daughter. She's the only one I have shopped for so far, though!

I hate that I have. But i was on one of those flash sale sites and bought something for myself, then saw these little lego things for $5 for a couple of children we buy for and picked them up.

I have, I probably have 20% of my stuff purchased, and about 75% planned out.
DH is killing me, complete brain fart on what to get him!!!
GOLD / wonderful olive / 19030 posts
I have my lists, but I have not made it much further than that. Honestly, we are getting off pretty easy this year!
GOLD / cantaloupe / 6703 posts
Yup. We are about 1/3 done and have a list of what to get for the others. I hope to be done by Thanksgiving especially since LO turns 3 Christmas Eve and we still need to plan most of her party.

A little. My kids have November and December birthdays, so most of what I have will probably go for those, but I haven't decided/finished.
