I already started Christmas shopping! Yes, in January!

My fiancé and I didn't do a gift exchange for Christmas. We don't think we have to wait to give a gift to each other for a holiday. But, for my niece and nephew we do Christmas exchanges but they're little so they don't get Christmas. And with all the gifts they get, they are still unwrapping til' this day. They unwrap a gift or two per day from Christmas to January

@LadyDuck Did you spend the holidays with your niece also? But yes totally if we want to get gifts it doesn’t have to be Christmas.

@infatuatedbby It's also what my husband and I think, no need to wait for Christmas to exchange gifts. We only have one niece who is 33.

Haha, well right now it is evening so I will be going to bed soon.

@infatuatedbby It's morning in Croatia.

@mrki444 Good morning to you! It is 11:51PM here on the West Coast, specifically California

@infatuatedbby yes when they are little like that it is much easier to buy ahead!

@shaggin Yes :) It is still easy when they're older it'll be different hehe

Luckily my niece and nephew are still little. When they get older, yes I will have to hold off on toys but clothes is fine. :)

Oh no no. Shopping last minute during Christmas Eve is when all the good stuff is gone, deals are not so great. So I always start in advance and find all these good deals =) Luckily I don't have to hide it from anyone (aka my niece/nephew) since they don't visit often & even if they did they wouldn't know where I hide my stash. You're doing great on these shopping deals. Did my shopping rub off on you? =) Hehehe

@moffittjc Tehehe =)

@infatuatedbby I'm pretty confident that your shopping expertise is slowly rubbing off on me! lol

I see =) K-Mart has been giving out really sweet deals FreeCash

@Courtlynn yes i ordered a gym towel at sears to be shipped for store pick up. i also got kmart $8 off $8 sporting goods. i ordered a yoga mat and used $2 in points to cover it. i also got a bunch of good freecash coupons like $10 off $20 apparel $15 off $20 sporting goods $10 off $15 jewelry i will save up some more points to use for sporting goods

@infatuatedbby yes they have. Sears too gave a $10 sporting goods one but we dont do sprts stuff

Hehe I love to shop =) And start right after Xmas all again ! Haha

@JustBhem Hehe yes :) I love to!

@infatuatedbby Yay, for sure you will have a lot to shop.

I'm great! :) I hope you're doin the same. Been a while.. I've been busy somewhere with something. Belated happy Holidays. We had a blast!

@MGjhaud Great to hear all is well =) I'm doing fine too! Glad to hear you had a wonderful Holiday too. Good to see you around myLot!!

I always have knick knacks to give my niece & nephew when I see them. But I also stock up for their birthdays and Christmas. Closet full of gifts aways lol! How are you doing? Hope you had a good holiday & Happy New Year =)

@infatuatedbby I am sure over the next few months you would be sharing with us all that you have bought for your niece and nephew.

Ah gotcha =) I don't have kids! But buy for my niece/nephew since we don't live together they won't see it =)

@mayka123 yes i do post here & there =)

I do wrapping paper themes only, not gift themes =) Hehe

@infatuatedbby I've already found some cute items for my color themed presents.

@toniganzon Yay that'll be fun =)

I don't have any kids, but they're for my niece and nephew. I feel like its not a rush when I shop throughout the year

@infatuatedbby That is so true.

@Srbageldog ahh gotcha =) so far, it works for the kids but maybe when they're older it might not work but clothes can!

I see, that is fine also!

@infatuatedbby My theory is that people's interests often change throughout the year, so I don't want to buy my brother, say, a yoga DVD or something while he's on a yoga kick, only to have him lose interest in it by the time Christmas rolls around!

Yep :) I have already stocked up :P

I do it all the time =)

Heheh yes there is a section designated for gifts =)

@YrNemo Awww how cute but darn the gift was late and you forgot. :) Best to prepare later not too ahead then! Lol

@infatuatedbby Once I prepared the XMas gifts five months earlier (in July that year). Then I forgot completely about the whole thing. The kids did have some gifts. Then in February the year after, my little girl (she is big now) who is always very curious of everything anything, dug out a giant bag (the garbage type), and proudly showed it to me (with difficulty, since she was a tiny 2YO), 'mom, mom, I think Santa Clause forgot to give me this. He must have forgotten it. It is in a cupboard in our spare room.' (She ended up finding a second bag, similar size! I had forgotten all about them!)

Birthdays here are scattered hehe =)

Very true kids can change their taste =) Luckily my niece & nephew aren't at that age yet! When they are, I'll have to start toward the end of the year too for their toys.

Hehe yes I love to shop early :)

I agree with you. :)

That's awesome. I have some gifts saved up for this Christmas 2018 too.

I love being prepared =)
