Are You Done Christmas Shopping?

I just have my dad left and then I'm done! Woohoo!

FI and I are going on vacation in January so that is our gift to each other; he's usually hard to shop for so I'm glad I got off easy this year, lol!

How about you?

    All we have left is a GPS for H's parents. We got everything else, I'm even done with H's stocking stuffers!

    It feels great to be almost done, but one of things I enjoy most is wrapping the presents, as I make a big effort to make them look pretty with ribbons and bows and such. But this year, since we're flying, we're unable to wrap our gifts, so we're buying a bunch of gift bags and laying them flat at the bottom of our suitcases, and we'll just be bagging everything once we get to CT.

    I just have my grandma left.  So glad I was mostly done early this year!  Usually I'm out shopping with my dad 2 days before Christmas.

    I need to finish DH's gift and something for his parents but everyone else is done.  I have to do shopping for my mom from my dad.  It's so hard for him to get around so I'm usually his Christmas elf and do it for him.  When she opens the gifts, he's usually like, "Oh - that's what I got you?  Nice!"  Smile

    We leave on Saturday for vacation and I need to get everything done before then.  I just finished my Christmas cards tonight so they'll go in the mail tomorrow.

    Parents and IL's are done. Oh, and grandparents.
    My sister is done.
    Erik and I don't really "do" gifts, but I'm working on something for him. ;)

    So all that leaves is my two BIL's who I have no idea what to get...

    I'm done!  Woohoo!  The only thing I have left to do is make some cookies to stick in DH's stocking.  I have to wrap a couple things, but I'm finished shopping.

    Now as for DH buying for me...

    I think we have pretty much everyone figured out except each other. ;)

    We're donig a lot of ours homemade this year, so this week I'm working on earrings for my sisters and figuring out what type of candy/fudge to send with them. They have to be mailed, so it's a bit more challenging. I also need to do my mom's video present, but I'm waiting until the house is a bit cleaner.

    Unfortunately, we have been putting Christmas shopping until next weekend. I've puchased some of FI's gifts, but that is all!

    A little more than half done. I am done with H (except for stocking stuffers). Still have to buy one more thing for the parents and then some random aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces, friends. Yea, sounds like I haven't gotten anything done, but actually I have gotten a lot done. My family is just one of those crazy families where everyone buys for everyone lol. I don't know why all the cousins, aunts, uncles, etc don't just have a gift exchange where we pull a name. Oh well. I love buying the presents and giving them! Just don't like wrapping. The majority of my gifts go in gift bags haha.

    Still have my bachelor uncle, and something to order off of Amazon, but otherwise done. This is late for me. I usually finish before Thanksgiving.

    I'm so behind this year! FI and I decided to go ahead and do gifts together this year since the wedding is so close to Christmas. So that added a bunch of extra gifts to my plate. FI ended up making part of everyone's gift so now we just need to buy the additional things to go with it. We're planning on lots of shopping this weekend when FI finishes finals.

    No. Not even remotely.  I have a tote bag for a friend, some make-up for my mom and sisters that is like a filler, and some candles. That's it. Not a complete gift amongst them

    But I really can't do my shopping until after Friday when I get my next paycheck.
