I have picked up a few gifts along the way, but haven't really started to think in a planning sort of way as of yet.
Usually I have most of my shopping done by Dec. 1st or so. Have always had to meter it out in order to be able to pay for it all.
This year has gone so fast, that I am way behind any kind of "get it together" kind of situation!
In the next week or so, I will gather up what I have already, and make a plan of what to get people. Our boys are all grown, so they will mostly get gift cards and cash. None of us really NEED anything, so buying a bunch of "stuff" is just a waste really. It is more helpful to them to have a gift card to grab dinner, gas or whatever than anything else. Oldest son also flies home, so he has limited space to be able to transport things back with him.
Thanks for the reminder that it is time to think about it. I like to make some kind of photo gift for the boys' girlfriends, so will need to get that pulled together soon. Also need to order Christmas cards, and photo calendars for gifts.
Hope everyone feels good about where they are in the process!
Don't panic! ------ (yet)!!!
