Have you finished Christmas shopping?
 

The countdown is on. Have you finished Christmas shopping? I'll be honest; I haven't even started. I'm a last minute Christmas shopper. Some people are hard to shop for so I decided last year that those people will get gift cards, so they can get what they want.
Some say it's impersonal, but I'd rather be impersonal then give them something they really don't want. (and I think we've all been there.) ;)

I've only bought one present this year so far. I will do the rest Friday night online after my hair appointment. :D

all i have to say is THANK GOD FOR THE INTERNET AND EBAY!!!!!

'cause HE knows I don't feel like going in nobody's store if i can help it!

I've done a little, mainly for my finacee. I am a bit of a scrooge this year.

BAH HUMBUG :(

Everything is via internet this year, so I'm cool.

I haven't even started.

Okayyyyyyyy!

I have only 2 gifts to purchase: my mother (don't know what to get her) and my niece
Any suggestions for gifts for mom?

How about I haven't even started shopping.

HAVEN'T. EVEN. STARTED.

I should have edited this, but..whatever

Ok, as of today, 1 down and way more to go!

...ahem, *coughhowshegonforgetaboutabrothacough* :cool:

Have yet to start. I only have a few gifts to buy this year so it's just hop skip and jump.....lickaty split and I'm done!

I'm taking this Friday off to finish my Christmas shopping.

When I turned in my Duty Change I wrote "Christmas not holiday shopping." My supervisor responded with "Who takes a whole day off to shop" :rolleyes:

When/ How you gone get it? Dis summa?
 

I ain't forget about you! I meant I only had 2 gifts REMAINING to purchase! :p

BTW, what are you purchasing your mom? I need an idea for my moms! :D

Re: When/ How you gone get it? Dis summa?
 

that's what I'm talking about, playa! Your Special Delivery Christmas Skyline Chili package is soon to be on its way to the N.O. :p

mom's gift? You know them AKAs have everything already :p so they are hard to shop for. Maybe perfume, or jewelery, but if a certain N.O. paraphanlia vendor had his business "online," I coulda thrown some dollars his way. ...but maybe he is preoccupied with big and more important thangs in the 06? :p :D

...check your pm

yep, i usually give money.

:D

Re: Re: When/ How you gone get it? Dis summa?
 

I know. :D I have settled on jewelry...yet again! :p

Forget you! :D

I had already settled on a gift for my mom, something she needs but just came across a present -- Old School Concert with the Manhattans and a few others -- that she will loooooooooove. :D

Anyone else have a tax-free weekend coming up? :p

That is when I will finish my shopping.

Speaking of gifts.... I need ideas on a Christmas gift for a guy who's not yet my boyfriend but we're really good friends and recently started dating.

I'll probably start my shopping this weekend or wait until the 23rd...that's the best time!!

buy him a book, but not Zane otherwise he might think you want to get freaky under the mistletoe. :)

lol. :) Thanks CT4.

I finished mine Saturday. I walked around the mall all day long and boy were my feet aching afterwards and I wore comfortable shoes at that.

I just started. I ordered my sister an AKA bag a few minutes ago from Greekgear.com. I'm going to by my mom a camera, maybe some elephants and a gift certifcate from Dillards. My brother and grandma will also get gift cards to their favorite stores. I may get my dad either some coglone (sp again or a model car (or 2 depending on the price). I have no idea what to get my stepdad.

Does she like crystal? If so, maybe you can get her a nice piece of crystal. If you go waterford or swarovski, these can be expensive so you might ask the store rep if there are any discontinued pieces on clearance or in the back room. I have gotten at least one deal this way. the rep brought out several waterford pieces that were not out b/c there was not room and they were discontinued.

Have only bought one gift. Besides my family, the only folx who get gifts are four babypeople, and I have a reprieve on two of them because I don't see their moms (sorors) until January.

No, I have not even started yet. Every year I say, I am going to put things in the layaway and be prepared for school. Lo and behold I am still shopping the last few days of Christmas.

Last year, I shopped Christmas Eve.

No! I need help with my brother in law. he likes to drink, so I'm thinking about something wine related. I need suggestions for a 40 year old white guy, who's a computer geek.

Yeah me too...

Does he have a bar at home?

Is brother-in-law the white guy too or is this another person?

Sorry, :) My bro-in-law is the 40 year old white guy. They don't have a full bar at their house. He enjoys drinking wine and beer. He's got the basics, ie white and red glasses and reliable bottle openers. I don't know what to get, I don't want to do just a gift certificate, b/c it feels like a cop out.

Thanks! I know my sis would NOT be ok with the flask idea :rolleyes: but I think some fun wine glasses may be in order!

:( @ flask. I wasn't cool with it either but I covered all drink bases, lol.

Yup, I have been finished since 11-12-05...he he he:D

I started shopping online the day after thanksgiving! I only have Arch Cards to buy for my nieces and newphews!

I bought the last of my gifts online. The only two people left is my mother (who has everything) and a guy friend (want to get a nice gift but not too personal).

I'm thinking a day at a spa for my mother. Any ideas on the guy friend?

Mostly which is way ahead for me. I just need tobuy the baby somethings, I have completed my husband, son, Mom, brother, etc. I need to buy my niece and nephew something as well. :rolleyes:

I finally finished all my shopping only to find out that my sister's best friend bought her the same gift! She bought hers first, so I have to take mine back......I oughta be like, "SHE'S MY SISTER, YOU TAKE YOURS BACK!" :mad:
