I think I may have a plan, but not quite sure about that.
My plan is to go as cheap as possible.
I am trying to get over my hang-ups on giving used items for gifts. I will be buying the kids new gifts but they will also be getting nice used things.
For example, a friend of Sam's has a table top drill press that he is giving away. We are going to get that from Brian and it will be part of Aaron's Christmas. Our plans for the rest of Aaron's gifts is to watch Harbor Freight for sales and coupons and get him a nice tool box. Sam will put tools in it that we find at yardsales. If he gets his house, I will probably get him a Netflix subscription/gift card too.
I haven't really thought about Caylon. She's the easiest of my kids to buy for so I'm not stressing about her.
Lainey is getting a pair of Childrens Place pajamas that have sock monkey on them. They are brand new, still with the tags on them $15.00 pj's that I got at Once Upon a Child for $3.00. She will also get a set of books (probably Trixie Belden) and something else.....
The boys....I have no idea. They should be easy though.
I am beginning to pick up baking supplies when I do my grocery shopping and putting them away for Christmas goodies. That's about the only way I know to have what I need and not have to take out a second mortgage to get them.
79 days, huh?? That's exciting, scary, depressing and nerve wracking all rolled up together.
