Have you just begun Christmas shopping, are you finished, or are you going to wait till the last minute. What kind of Christmas shopper are you?

Oh I hate thinking about Christmas shopping this year. Money is tight. I wish we would get anohter stimulus payment then I could enjoy Christmas shopping but food on the table and a roof over our heads is going to be most of our Christams presents this year.

Hi there,
no..no..don't remind me..lol
Yes I am usually a last minute shopper. I do want to try to change that this year. I should start right this minute but I have yet to come up with some good gift ideas. The people in my life are very hard to shop for, but sometimes the planning is the fun part for me. I usually look online for good bargains but of course if I start early I can beat the holiday rush at the stores. :-)

I'm pretty useless when it comes to christmas shopping as i'm always a panic buyer. I set out every year with the intention of starting early but no matter when I start life gets in the way and I end up having a mad dash round the shops a few days before the event.
So this year i'm taking a different approach...i'm shopping over the net. This way I can also buy presents through cashback sites so i'll actually be gaining from my spending...everyones a winner...well apart from the fact i'll have to make sure I don't leave my internet shopping too late.

I just started last night! But the thing is I am doing it totally online. The only one that I am buying for this year is my son and my immediate family. Most of which I can buy Avon for which is awesome since I sale it! Normally me and my mom and aunt and gmaw take a trip down to the beach and shop 24hrs a day for the whole weekend until we have got everyone something. But with the economy we can't afford to do that this year!

I normally would have already started by now but for some reason this year I cannot seem to get motivated? So I guess this year I will be a last minute shopper.

I am the kind of christmas shopper that likes to go out early morning and return late at night with a whole bunch of stuff then whatever I haven't picked up that I might have forgotten I just go out for a few days before but this year I think that I might shop at the dollar store rather then big retailers like walmart, circuit city or other retailer chains simply because it will be a tight financial strain for myself as well as everyone else
