X-mas Shopping
 
Have you guys started x-mas shopping yet? It might be too early still--but i was in the mall the other day and I saw something about a Levi's contest where you can win 10 million dollars.. Has anybody heard anything about this? I can use 10 million dollars. I'm so broke!

Honeykiss1974 11-19-2003 05:35 PM

All done! :D

ThetaGrrl 11-19-2003 05:35 PM

Haven't even started! :D

tinydancer 11-19-2003 05:46 PM

I've already done some shopping on line and through catalogs, so at least I am a little ahead. Last year I was still running around on Dec. 24. Now THAT stinks!!

MeLikey 11-19-2003 06:33 PM

Haven't started yet, and I probably won't have a chance til after Thanksgiving. I was at the mall this past weekend, and people were definitely starting their shopping, it took me 45 minutes to find a parking spot and then it took me 45 minutes to get out of the parking lot... it was nuts.

sairose 11-19-2003 08:54 PM

I've already started my Xmas shopping. :)

winnieb 11-19-2003 10:02 PM

I have not started my shopping yet. Most of my coworkers are finished with theirs. I usually start shopping around 12/20, however I know exactly what I will be buying everyone.

i dread christmas shopping. once thanksgiving gets here, i never go to the mall on weekends until the holidays are over. i dont want to lose my life looking for a gift. it is a good thing that my family is keeping things simple this year

bsp-mich24 11-19-2003 10:19 PM

I did buy one (already wrapped) item today for our X-mas meeting.

AlphaGam1019 11-19-2003 10:52 PM

nah, nothing yet. harassing a certain someone to fill up online wishlists ;)

sairose 11-19-2003 10:55 PM

Oh, I'm such a Christmas nerd....I LOVE IT! And I love Christmas shopping!!

Betarulz! 11-20-2003 01:19 AM

I already know what I'm going to be getting my little brother: a Franklin Covey Palm Pilot case since he got one for free from his HS.

For everyone else...I have no idea.

lauralaylin 11-20-2003 10:57 AM

I'm about half way done. I work at Barnes and Noble and am waiting for my extra big discount to start on Dec 4th or so, then I'm going to finish by buying everyone books. I'm also going to do my Christmas cards today. I'm working 7 days straight before I leave for Christmas in Florida, so I want to do it all now so I'm not stressed out in mid-December.

aephi alum 11-20-2003 11:19 AM

I'm giving a cross stitch trivet to my parents, and another to my in-laws (if I finish in time ;) ). I'm about a third of the way through stitching the first trivet.

We've also bought our holiday cards.

That's the limit of the holiday shopping I've done so far.

I hate all you organized people :p

tri-deltgurl 11-20-2003 07:55 PM

Ok to everyone that's done with their Xmas shopping... you suck!! I'm so jealous, I wish I was that cool :)

Ok where and how do I win the 10 MILLION DOLLARS??? Just for buying Levis??? How exactly does this work?

lifesaver 11-21-2003 02:08 AM

I actually am almost done. It all kinda came together accidentally.

I only have 2 people left to get things for, and I already know what I am going to get them.

AlphaGamDiva 11-21-2003 03:52 AM

buh...haven't even started. the b/f's b-day is dec. 8th and he's gettin a phatty watch......christmas, i have no clue for ANYone and it sucks. well, i know what i'm gettin my dad....space ghost coast to coast is on dvd now, so he'll love that. ;)

and i just want to wear a button at work that says, "i have to buy christmas presents, too, b*tches.....don't stiff me on the tip!"

LSUquadkid 11-21-2003 01:09 PM

Tri-delt gurl--

I totally want to win this Levi's promotion! I think all you have to do is buy a pair of Levi's or Dockers and you automatically get entered into the contest. I think if you pay with cash, you have to go online. But basically, it's that simple. Then at the end of the holiday season, if they drew your name, they'll fly you out to some desination where you have to draw forthe $10 mil. If you are selected, you are guaranteed at least $50 thousand. That works for me too!!

tri-deltgurl 11-21-2003 01:35 PM

Are there certain stores you have to buy them from?? Or from anywhere? Sounds hot :) I'm in!!

Starting my shopping this weekend. What do I get for the BF??

FeeFee 11-21-2003 05:55 PM

All I've bought so far was the Finding Nemo DVD for my little one. I pretty much know what to get for everyone on my list, I'll probably wait until after I'm done with school for the semester (Dec. 9).

ZTAngel 11-21-2003 05:57 PM

I haven't even started. :eek:

I also have two birthdays coming up. My lil sister's is on the 25th (still haven't gotten her present yet...oops) and my biological sister's birthday is on Dec.5 (haven't gotten her present yet either). Looks like I'm going to the mall this weekend. It'll probably be packed. :(

Hootie 11-22-2003 02:46 AM

I've got one person's Christmas present taken care of ;) ;) I just need to order it :D

ThetaPrincess24 11-22-2003 01:30 PM

Everyone's Xmas gifts are bougth except too people. The ones bought i have to piece together. I've bought those framed collages for pictures. Each person that is getting one has pictures in it of me and that person, that i went and copied at wal-mart. Gifts that I know willbe appreciated and liked, and i dont have to worry about if they dont like the scent, if it fits, or if they flat out dont like it. :)

I have to stop at Bath& Body for my Granny, the other place for the other I cannot mention, but I'll have it after Thanksgiving for sure, it's been back ordered.

Munchkin03 11-22-2003 01:37 PM

I don't start shopping until after finals are over. Then I usually complete it in one fell swoop. :)

76owlgal 11-22-2003 01:40 PM

If I can get it together, I am hoping to start Christmas shopping today.

LSUquadkid 11-24-2003 11:46 AM

Tri-Delt Gurl---

There are certain stores that you have to buy from--but they are the main dept stores like JCPennys, Hechts, Foley's, Sears, Mervyns..and some other stores. I just got a pair this weekend!

Jaggergirl 11-24-2003 03:46 PM

I am so jealous of you guys who have finished your christmas shopping. I'm still working on getting ideas for what kind of gifts I want to buy people and some of ya'll are done? Sheesh!

okay, I'm thinking maybe I ought to enter this contest to win 10 mill. That might just cover my credit card debt. ;)

FAB*SpiceySpice 11-25-2003 02:53 AM

Ok so my Xmas shopping has barely started. I have HALF of the boyfriends gift and that's it. I still have to buy the other part of his gift, and then gifts for my brother, parents, little sis, and three best friends. And I have no, and I mean NO, clue what to buy ANY of them!!!! I seriously hardcore suck at buying gifts for people lol.

tri-deltgurl 12-02-2003 08:07 PM

So I started this weekend, wow the mall was a madhouse. I did go to Hechts and buy Dockers for my brother, but I didn't have a hechts card, so the sales guy just told me I could mail in my receipt to enter the contest. You better believe I did right away!! LOL

LSUquadkid 12-03-2003 11:12 AM

Can u believe this?? I went back last weekend and bought another pair also! I have to mail in my receipt also to enter the contest, b/c I don't have a store credit card. I hope I win!! Does anybody know when this contest ends?

Jaggergirl 12-03-2003 04:03 PM

lol... you're cracking me up. How many times can you enter? More than once I guess. I need to pick up a new pair of jeans this weekend anyway so I may as well try to win my fortune while I'm at it.

I got a bunch of shopping done over the weekend and now I feel so freaking poor! THe first of the month is always the toughest because of the stupid rent check. But I picked up Steve Martin's book for one friend, a few bottles of Danzka for my guy friends (they love their vodka!), and some frames for pics with friends who live far away.

tri-deltgurl 12-03-2003 06:16 PM

Ok judging from you guys, I need to get my act together fast. Christmas always sneaks up on me. I guess I'll get started this weekend. I don't even know where to start.

I guess you can enter the contest every time you buy Levis, that's mad cool.

LSUquadkid 12-03-2003 06:22 PM

Why not try--that's my motto! One of these days i have to get lucky, and why not with $10mil!! Did Levi's ever have these promotions before?

LeslieAGD 12-04-2003 04:11 PM

I have completed my shopping for my dad and boyfriend, but I still have my sister and mother to shop for. My mother is always the most difficult!

sairose 12-04-2003 06:07 PM

I still have to buy gifts for my dad, my mom, my grandma, and my uncle. I have a present for my brother and for all of my friends. :D

tri-deltgurl 12-15-2003 08:10 PM

I feel like Levis is always doing cool promos.. never anything like 10 mil though... wouldn't it be crazy if someone on this board won??

ThetaPrincess24 12-16-2003 05:48 PM

As of Early this morning, my xmas shopping is officially DONE. :)

Hootie 12-16-2003 06:17 PM

<----- Hasn't even started her Christmas shopping.
