I have purchased a few small things so far. I bought my niece some cute pj's at Nordstrom Rack today. I also bought my parents a Misto olive oil sprayer and a new salt/pepper grinder set.

Yes, I'm done shopping for LO...we got her an A&A dream blanket, an Oxo Tot bib, a Mozart Magic Cube, and books. I have no clue what to get anyone else!

I bought something for a friend, but that's been it so far. I know what I want to get for about half the people on my list, though.

I feel like toddler shopping is so hard. I'm actually just going to wait until closer so I can go to the mall to pick out a cute outfit, Costco for a cute book and more time to decide her toy gift.

Yep! I got some toys for DS and some books for my niece. I have a good idea of what I want to get people. Is like to actually finish Christmas shopping before December this year.

Mostly just browsing and making lists of ideas for friends and family. DH and I still need to set up the budget for gifts

Yup, almost finished shopping for LO, and know what I'll be getting dh and my mum. Still need to get another present for my nephew and need to sort out the secret santa names for dh's family so I know who I need to buy for. I'm hoping to get it done reasonably soon. Even have some of LO's gifts wrapped up already.

@Mrs. Pen: We set our budget for the holidays back in August. Heh, is my crazy showing?

I've just started making idea lists. We drew names this week for my husband's family since we do secret Santa, but I haven't gotten much further than that. I like to get ideas then wait for sales, anyways.
GOLD / cantaloupe / 6581 posts
Yes! I have ideas for all the presents, and am slowly starting to buy them. My Stepmom, one nephew, one niece, and nearly a few others are done. I plan on finishing a few more up this weekend!

@Mrs. Pen: @Arden: I usually have my budgets set by September but DH is being obstinate this year. Ha.

I'm done, except for my husband's gift. He's so hard to give things to! I have a running list that I work on starting in the summer in order to find deals, and I don't really have a lot of gifts to buy because we mostly don't exchange gifts with the adults in our family beyond photos. I have my stash for Toys for Tots ready to go. I just buy multiples of what I get my son.

Just browsing so far! I was actually surprised that we got a target and TRU catalog in the mail this week!

I am totally stumped this year! I really want to start shopping but I can't decide what to get anyone! We do secret santa for my side so I can't really start until they pick names which will be Thanksgiving. I feel like for my husbands side we just buy variations on a theme every year, no one does clothes and his dad and brothers are the types that just buy the few things they want. We are headed out today though so fingers crossed we find some good options!

Yup I'm about halfway done with A and halfway done with nieces and nephews.

I've bought one gift so far. I've got a list started too.
pomegranate / 3329 posts
Just a couple Melissa & Doug food sets for Maddy. I have no idea what all the kids want except for my SD wants a scooter. My son is overloading his list with video games and whatever the newest playstation is, he will be disappointed Christmas morning

For LO, yeah, unless I decide to go ahead and buy her a play house.LOL Everyone else, half way. I'm buying as I see deals. I HOPE to be done by Thanksgiving.

I'm about 60% done at this stage, waiting for a couple of items to be delivered and waiting until a little closer to the time to buy some perishable items.
nectarine / 2132 posts
just for lo. so far we've got him a land of nod chair and a few books.

Done with Sadie! I'm planning on DIYing some stuff, so we'll see how long I procrastinate on that.

I've picked up a few small things. I really need to be done by the middle of this month so I can get things sent off and pack to move.
I'm hoping to convince DH to do family photos this week and then that will be presents for our parents and grandparents.

I just gathered up my sales ads, to try to pick something out for in-laws since we are spending Thanksgiving with them and will exchange gifts with them then. I'm stumped!
honeydew / 7811 posts
Nope! Still waiting to figure out what our budget for Christmas will be. Just thinking of ideas for now. Definitely have the Christmas itch though!
pear / 1718 posts
We haven't started yet and I have zero ideas for most of the family. I'm feeling so behind!
bananas / 9227 posts
Not really. But for some reason, I'm not as stressed about it this year. Since I'm now staying home, we decided to cut our gift budget pp in half. Alls good with me
squash / 13208 posts
Yep and I am done! But I weird like that! LOL
I always finish early so I can relax and enjoy the holidays - I hate shopping once the crowds emerge
Oh and everything is wrapped too! =)
wonderful grape / 20453 posts
Ugh, nope
I always buy online, though. I don't have a ton of people to buy for, at least.
wonderful pear / 26210 posts
I don't have a lot of people to buy for, so not yet!
My husband and I are not exchanging this year again, so we just need a few things here and there for other people. My aunt/godmother is the most difficult for me to buy for.
