Is Your Christmas Shopping All Done? / myLot

December 7, 2015 8:29am CST

Christmas is just around the corner and I am getting a little worried because I am hearing more and more people have done all their xmas shopping and I am a long way away from finishing my xmas list! I really need to find some cheap but nice xmas gifts for my little ones, as I am really lacking in the money department at the moment. Have you finished you xmas shopping? Any good xmas gift ideas for kids?

No, I am not done. A magazine subscription to a children's magazine is not too expensive and it lasts all year! I liked those when I was a kid and so did my kids. But I don't know if that is popular any more.

I am not sure they would like it as much as something they could get their hands on a use and play with. I will look into it ;D

@gudheart I guess what I liked about the kids magazines as they were full of activities for kids to do each month.

I haven't done mine yet. Probably this weekend or next week at the latest. Small gifts and within my budget.

@gudheart Thanks. In a word or two, gift cards, though my list isn't small and a bit expensive. I had to cut it down due to budgetary reasons.

It's so long since I was involved with children that I don't have any suggestions. Sometimes just walking round a store (a toy store in your case) will sometimes result in something appropriate jumping out at you.

@gudheart We used to take our kids on the proviso that they didn't touch and didn't ask for things. We could stay as long as they liked. They were quite happy with it. We usually caved in and bought them something just for being good! But even walking around without them sometimes helps.

Christmas is 2 weeks from Friday! I finished all my shopping about a week ago... I might still pick up a couple little things here and there, but even if I don't get another thing I'm good and done now.. I just want to add a pair of jeans for my daughter, and maybe more stocking stuffers, things like that.

I honestly didn't bother shopping this year as I am really broke. See I am not very good with saving and irresponsibly spent all my money on home decors and forgot to set money aside for gifts. Now I realized that to be ready for the end of the year, I must start tucking away a few bucks at the start of the year. At 31, I am ashamed to admit that I need a crash course in finances. So, yeah, no Christmas shopping for me. We did plan, me and my partner, to come up with a CHristmas dinner for the whole family (we dont have kids, so). But most likely, he will dig from his own pocket. I'll be slicing the onions. :)

We celebrate Christmas on the 7th of January, so the holiday that is closer to us is New Year. Some people start buying products for party table, because prices will increase
