I'm done xmas shopping, have the stockings stuffed, and presents wrapped, xmas cards all done, all I have to do is mail the things that need to be mailed and start for next year

You are my hero! I always have everyone except for my kids done soon. But they have so many ads on tv that my kids change their minds from day to day. I figure if I wait, I can get the final list.

I'm usually done by Dec 1st, but I'm headed into Chicago the first week or so in December, and I know I'll shop.

It gets easier as the kids grow. Mine are 18 & 15 so I know what they want way in advance. I started xmas shopping a yr in advance about 4 yrs ago it really helps to reduce any holiday stress. As I see a sale if it's on my list to get someone I'll get it, or I'll hit the after Holiday sales. This also helps because you are not spending so much money all at one time and you can avoid the mobs at the store.

I'm always done atleast a week before.

Well, I'm all over the map on that one. Some years I've been very last-minute, some not. However, I have a big family, so I usually finish a few of my loved one's gifts a month a head and then there are some who are done a couple weeks before Christmas.

I have my lovie, 4 kids, my parents, my partner's dad (and probably another family member of his) and an older sister and a twin sister to buy for.

Now I finished my twin's gift shopping today. I've gotten her some pajamas, panties, various cock rings and some organic bath and body products. I'm going to make her and my older sister one of my lovely hand-made gift boxes that they can use later for storage, and just put all their gifts inside.

My older sister so far has a couple small gifts. My lovie has not been bought for yet, but I'm about to order one of his gifts off Amazon. I got my mom a few things already (Gleener!) LOL. It's a heavy-duty sweater shaver basically. We're cat lovers and she loves those sweaters with huge fur balls on em'. She desperately needs Gleener! It's really neat actually. It has all these interchangeable blades used for different types of fabric and all. Works really well too, I had to try it out!

And my dad -- no idea! Him and my mom are the toughest to buy for. I usually make him like a month's supply of my oatmeal candy and peppermint bark and peanut butter balls. I'll probably do it a bit different this year though. We actually bought him this crazy flash light today that has all these neat features (I just don't understand the products men love! lol) and since he'd spent his entire Friday surprising me by cleaning my entire car (it was disgustingly messy because it's been messed up and just sitting waiting to be fixed again) and he ordered a part for it, so we bought the flash light and gave it to him as a thank you gift today. We'll have to find him something diff. for Christmas.

So, I'm with you! Hurrying to finish. It can be so stressful, ya know? It just comes up so quickly it's overwhelming.

I don't really have anyone to do shopping for so I tend to buy myself a few things but make sure with the shipping I get them the week of christmas and then open up everything christmas eve.

I usually cut it pretty close...some people are just hard to shop for!
