1.) Just recently (as in.. this week) started
thinking about it. I'm not a shopper, so it takes a lot of motivation for me to go out and do it. And, I'm a picky shopper when you get me in the store. I won't settle for less than the perfect gift for
anyone. (Incidentally, by boyfriend is also psychotically early with his shopping... he's been
done since August.

He starts around May.)
2.)I hate deciding what I "want" for XMas. I am trying to get rid of most of the things that clutter up my apartment. Minus books, CDs & DVDs-my 3 addictions

. I was actually considering giving my family a list of charities (including my GLOs fund) to donate to in my name as my gift(s). Although I do want a few small pieces of luggage, as I travel quite a bit.
3.)Definately a camera... a nice small compact one with a zoom lens. (He mentioned recently that he wanted one, which makes my job a lot easier). He will also get Best Buy giftcards. The man owns countless CDs.
**Speaking of Best Buy giftcards... I think gift cards are one of the greatest developments of modern technology. My family all exchanges them (usually the same stores!).. they're easy and inexpensive to mail. You have a year (or more) to wait and find something you
really like. **
