Christmas shopping....

When the kids were smaller, Christmas shopping was easier. Now that they are 11 and 16 it has gotten a little more difficult. To be fair, she child is easier than he child. But that's because she is at that age where cooking and crafts are getting more attainable for her. She doesn't need my help for as much anymore. Whereas he child is at the age where he just wants fishing stuff, gaming stuff or money. I have a few smaller things picked out for he child, but I'm at a standstill on anything else. Because he's not into anything but food, fishing and gaming. Gaming stuff is expensive. His grandma got him his "big" present from her already. She got him a new Xbox. So I guess we will have to find some stuff to go with the Xbox for Christmas. Anyhow. I have a lot of Christmas shopping to do, where do you all stand?

I think I have four gifts to get, and I’ll be watching Black Friday for them. I’m really hoping for serious sales to be able to get what I want to buy them.

Thankfully we don't have much Christmas shopping to do. It's not like the old days.

@thislittlepennyearns I used to buy through the year too. It spread the expense a bit for starters.

I've started my Christmas shopping a few months back. There are still a few items I need to pick up.
