I get tired of the malls too and the "have to have" gifts so this year, I decided to buy ONLINE gift cards for everybody on my list. Its practical, unless you have people who INSIST on actually getting a physical gift. In that case, I buy online, too :)

You can open an envelope :) I usually go to the malls and places like that to buy presents, but the finances are tight this year and I have it all figured it down to the penny. It helps believe me :)

in my case, i put a budget amount on the gifts that i would buy for each person and i would compute the total budget..then i would try to make the presents fit the budget that i have :) sometimes, i exceed the budget but only a few amount adjustment :)

it is really fun when you are buying Christmas presents and wrapping them..one of the main reason why i shopped early is because i do not want to buy them when there are mallwide sale because there are a lot of people at the mall and i wouldn't have the chance to choose the item to buy..
