It's been on my mind because:
A) I started my shopping. I want to get the bulk of it done before it gets freezing cold outside and snowy and icy.
B) Because it did start getting cold I got in the mood for Christmas shopping.
C) I have a few relatives that have birthdays right around Christmas, which makes things expensive. I feel inclined to start early.
So far what have I gotten:
I haven't gotten EVERYTHING by no means. Just a little bit here, and a little more there.
- Awhile ago I got my youngest nephews and sons reusable superhero sandwich bags. That's just part of their presents.
- Our nephew Evan gets a Volcano Science Kit. I got that at Hobby Lobby. Always check their site for a 40% off coupon!
- I haven't decided who I'm giving this to: Isaak and our Nephew Elijah are getting mini portfolios from Hobby Lobby. They are 9 x 12 and were only $2.99! They came in industrial colored plastic. I bought mini metal rulers with cork backing, mini triangles. I plan on filling them with stencils, paper and colored pencils. - Or I'll give them to Isaak and Mica from Santa. If I do this Mica's will have a scratchboard set in it. I think he'd love that. Especially the rainbow one! I just have to decide if it will be for the 4 year olds or to our boys from Santa. Decisions!
- Daddy wants to get the boys Nintendo DS systems. YIKES! Ya we haven't owned anything like that, so it will be interesting.
- I got Mica and Isaak building kits from Fat Brain Stores. I can't remember the exact kits, but they were cool when we picked them out!
- I got Daddy 1 thing, but I can't say what it is on here.
- My niece Kailey is almost in college. She needs money. I'm thinking of getting a big box, small balloons and putting money in each of the balloons. 25 balloons = $25. She's gotta have fun still, right? I may do the balloon thing for our nephew that lives in Missouri and my oldest nephew Ethan that's getting hard to shop for. Cheap to ship because it's so light.
- I know I have random other things in the closet. It's just a matter of looking.
Ha ha... I am already shopping too... easier to do it before the boys get here... surprisingly, i am doing most online...
ReplyDeleteGood for you. I have won some things that I am going to give as gifts but I still need to shop also.
ReplyDeleteI've begun working on the gifts I'm making....everyone is getting new, handmade, Christmas stockings. The buying part starts next week.
ReplyDeleteI like going shopping on Black Friday... Well, I don't really like it, but there are a lot of good deals.
ReplyDeleteI also buy clearance things in January and save them for Christmas..
You rock. I am almost done with my shopping. I cannot stand the crowds, so I like to get the majority of my shopping done by Halloween.
