Yes, it's early, but have you started shopping for your friends and family? If so, where are your favorite places to shop? When do you usually start shopping? Do you wait until things are on sale? Do you already know what you will get them, or do you browse until you find that perfect gift?

I started my christmas shopping a few weeks ago, and I have my list too so I know exactly what everyone is getting and how much I am spending on them! I intend to be organised this year, the last two years I left everything until the last minute and it was a nightmare! I am not a big fan of shopping, crowds and stress so it will be done with as little time in a shopping centre as possible. God bless the internet is all I can say LOL.

I need to borrow some of your organization skills. If I made a list and stuck to it, I wouldn't spend nearly as much as I usually end up doing. I don't care for the crowds either. It is one of my least favorite parts about the season. I love almost everything else about the season though.

Fortunately for me my sister has birthday on 2nd December. While looking for her gift I can also search for christmas gift for family and friends. If my sister birthday was in any other month I would probably wait as long as possible befor starting christmas shopping because it isn't something I enjoy much. I mean it is fun when you see something and know it will make perfect gift or when you know what to buy. But walking around shops and sreaching for something my friend or family member may like is quite tiring.

I usualy wait till the last week of september, which is comming up. I have already decided who I am buying for first and ideas for what I might get them. I think it is a great idea to start christmas shopping early and go in shifts that way you can get it all out of the way before the mob of shoppers rears it's ugly head and also not spending so much money at one time.

I haven't started shopping for Christmas at all. I'm thinking this year we won't be going all out for Christmas. My husband and I are expecting our 1st baby, so we'll be doing a lot of baby shopping mainly.
