Are you a firm idea shopper or more spontaneous?
                    
                    
                    Do you do holiday shopping with a list or do you just wander the isles and see what "jumps out"?

                        I plan a list of who might like what gift far in advance update it as needed. That way I can shop good sales year around.

                        A bit of both. For some people, I have such a firm idea of what I want to give them that I search high and low for it (I have that creepy Cancer/INFJ habit of remembering off-hand comments of what people like - example, my boyfriend tried on a knitted Sock Monkey hat and he remarked that he liked it, so he's getting that for Christmas). Others, it really can be a Wild Card of looking around and seeing what "feels right" to give them.

                        I do both. I have a few things on my list that I have to get, after that, I just jump around and see what's out there.

                        When we're shopping for family members, or each other, my partner and I always have a list for the one big present we buy and then we're spontaneous for the smaller stocking stuffers we buy. It works out well for us

                        Both, if Mrs doesn't know what to get for someone she wanders and looks until she gets an idea. She never purchases though. That is only done with a list. This drives Mr, as in Mr Spontaneous, crazy.  He only puts up with it because he gets great sex

                        I look for items that look expensive but are cheap.

                        most of the time I have a pretty good idea as to what I will be getting for each person, but I dont take a list.  I also will change my mind if I find something that I feel will work better for them then my original idea.

                        I have a list, but if I come across items that are better than the ones on my list, I'll buy those instead.

                        A little of both. I went shopping today with a list but didn't even end up getting any of them.

                                            Are you a firm idea shopper or more spontaneous?

                        I do a lot online. But I like a little of both organized and spontaneous!

                        I do a little bit of both. I tend to see things and I'm like so and so has to have this.
