Have You Started Yet???

Holiday shopping that is?? I must admit...I have started a little..but have a long way to go!! I have been slowing starting to pick up bargains I have been seeing here and then in a couple stores. I usually get most of my shopping done on Black Friday...Yes, hubby and I are those crazies out shopping at 4pm that day after Turkey Day!! Hey...if there are deals...I am there!!

I did pick up Little Man's big gift from "Santa"...in fear that if I waited too long it may not be on any store shelf. No great deal on it...just lucky I got it. Shipped for free, if that counts?? LOL I also already have 2 DVD's for him as well....Thanks to the Borders $5 off coupon a few months back!!

Thanks to Bath & Body Works and the great coupons they have been offering I also got a little something for each of Little Man's teachers as well. I just need to get them each a gift card to go with the little something I picked up for next to nothing!!

Little Miss has been started as well....picked her up the Little Mommy twin babies set back in July at Target on Clearance for 75% off!! Still have alot to get for her yet!!

For hubby's side of the family we are not doing adult presents this year. Although I do plan to get something for each of the aunts...something small from the kiddies...I'll see what I come across in the next month or so!!

I finished my niece the other day online at American Girl...using a coupon code, which is rare for American Girl!! 1st I have ever seen in the years I have been buying for her at American Girl!! So I jumped on it!! LOL

My sister's kiddies are a bit far...in Florida, so I will buy them something online with free shipping, I hope!! Usually Amazon pulls thru every year for me on that!!!

I do not plan to spend as much this year as last. Just trying to save as much as possible for those possible rainy days ahead, if you will. Hubby and I will do like last year...buy something for the house as our gift for each other. Last year was a TV...this year, well have to see. Otherwise we buy for one another....and then make a ton of returns that day or 2 after Christmas for the right sizes, colors, etc. Waste of time I think...so last year we did it this way...and it was wonderful!!! I am just not to into returning!!! Yuck!!

So what is your plan for the holidays this year? Are you cutting back on big time holiday gift spending this year? Has your list to buy for gotten a bit smaller than in past years? Do you have any great holiday gift ideas? Let us know!!
