Cathie:
yup it's becoming a very low number now ;)
Been trying to figure out gift for my hubby. So i have decided I am going to do monthly dates (like this - sort of ;) ) http://www.pinterest.com/pin/204139795582563097/
I also bought him a movie
I have my Christmas cards just need to print my family photo so I need to send those into Shutterfly - I am hoping next pay day.
I have started making a plan of what I'd like done. And costs. Gifts are still going to be the most expensive part. I am hoping to lower my kids wishes down to a more reasonable amount, they aren't really asking for a lot just the things they'd like are expensive.
How goes the battle for you guys?

I am plugging along and feel like I am still on top of things.
Doug's cousin asked that we not exchange this year because money is tight for her and her new husband. I had already gotten them each a small gift but that will save me spending any more money. I told her not to buy any of us anything because I had spent so little.
I know what Corey's main gift will be and he also asked for one other thing. I have one other gift for him and will get one or two more things for him plus a few stocking things.
We have Zac's main gift - a coffee maker from Doug's work plus a ton of coffee and tea packets - plus one stocking stuffer. I still need a few more things for him plus stocking stuffers.
I need a main gift for Madelyn plus one or two other gifts and stocking stuffers.
I think I only need one more thing for Molly plus her stocking. Her main gift was SUPER expensive - four tickets to One Direction!!! Madelyn will go with her so it is kind of a gift for Madelyn, too. I always get each of them the same number of gifts but don't always spend the same amount of money. There have been many years that Molly's entire pile cost as much as one gift one of the other kids got so it all works out in the end.
I think I only need one or two more things for Doug plus his stocking.
I have just about finished Corey's girlfriend. I just need to get her a gift card. I have to get Zac's girlfriend's gifts but am not sure what they will be. 😜
I have one more gift each to get for some members of Doug's family but still need ideas for his mom.
All in all - it shouldn't be too terrible. Most of the gifts left to get will be gift cards which cost money but are easy to grab. I think Doug and I will run out next weekend and do a bit of shopping and I will do some looking online this week as well.

I am getting there, just very slow this year.
Gary's with the exception of a few little surprises is done...
Nick- he changes his mind from time to time so as of now i just have him some stocking stuffers.
DJ and Missy-will get gift cards for the grocery store's and starbucks... they need all the help they can get with groceries..
Dallas- will get Starbuck's gift card(he loves there chocolate milk) and toys of course..
We do have one couple that we exchange gifts with with there children and I have no idea yet what we are getting them...
i still need to find a bit more motivation...
shedrinkzcoffee:
I have vanilla made. Just need to get it finished and in bottles. I need to find labels for the bottles too. Other than that... I have nothing ready. We have lots of birthdays, car registration is due, I need a CA drivers license, the dogs need to go to the vet for shots... so much money goes out this time of year. I'm WAY stressed.
Cathie:
Denise ~ you have a nice plan in place
Linda ~ you too :-* :-*
Erica ~ I hear you about money. Groceries are stressing me out - it's so expensive and I am in no way buying anything I would consider junk >:( >:( >:(
