:faint:::faint::faint::faint::faint:
I only have to buy for 9 people, 4 of which I wont see til after the holidays, but Im totally feeling the panic mode right now. I always wait til the last minute. Ive got about 4 weeks to buy crap, not to mention car insurance, Macys, gas, and a few concerts that Im going to (Merry Christmas to me :biglove: ). I hate buying gifts throughout the year because Im not in the Christmas mood and I dont wanna spend $$$ that I dont have to right there lol. Not to mention Id probably lose half of them by the time its time to give them out. Ahh I need an extension. :notworthy
Hollow 11-29-2004, 12:15 AM We're going christmas shopping at the mall in phoenix december 10th!!! :woohoo: i cant wait. my dad gives me $100 to buy presents but i spend a lot of it on myself, i always just get something for him and something for my brother anyway cause i dont care about anyone. i'll also probably shop for some more stuff for my secret santa though, i already ordered something but i'll have time to buy more at the mall.
Czas na Zywiec 11-29-2004, 12:54 AM No one, thank God. I don't really like buying presents for people, especially since I can't be any more broke. I also hate when people get me gifts, because then I feel all guity that they took the time and money to buy me something and I didn't give them anything in return. Maybe in a few years when I have some more cash available. Until then, it's all me. Sounds selfish, but hey, it's not that easy trying to pay for tuition, bills, food, etc.
ThirteenInchEscape 11-29-2004, 01:12 AM I opted out of the sibling gift exchange
Raven-Symone 11-29-2004, 02:31 AM I haven't started it yet, I always go christmas shopping week before christmas, and I just have 3 peoples to buy gifts for and that just my family, and I love going christmas shopping.
Mr. Stefani 11-29-2004, 03:23 AM I get for: someone here, mom, sister, brother, step dad, this ho, and my little (step)sister. i also have to get my mom and her boyfriend a wedding gift since they're getting married 2 days after christmas.
can't complain, my paychecks seem to be getting bigger and bigger every week.
Dutabi84 11-29-2004, 03:31 AM I'm getting a last second job, to get some last second income, so I can purchase some last second gifts.
If that doesn't work, I may have to empty my Partypoker account. :crazy:
dawsongirl 11-29-2004, 03:35 AM I have 4. Mom, dad, cousin, and a friend. Actually, I should buy for a couple friends. I started yesterday. I hate starting before Thanksgiving because it's not the holiday season yet, despite what the stores say. :p
I actually love shopping. You give me a list, and I'll probably buy everything on it even if I have $0...which is what I have. Just add it to the growing pile of credit card debt. I'm at $6000 now. :crazy:
and no one actually give me a list, okay? :)
MandieR1980 11-29-2004, 11:48 AM I started but I'm not close to being done. So far I got:
Mom: a ring and bracelet she wanted from HSN and QVC, a box of Whitman's dark chocolates, and one of those new Febreeze Scentstories machines.
Dad: Sam Cooke and Brook Benton CDs
My brother: Star Wars Trilogy DVD set
cousin Gina: I'm renewing her John Mayer fanclub membership which I bought her last year.
I still have more to buy for them and I have to buy my aunt Suzy a present I picked her name at the secret santa thing we do every year.
My family has not started yet, they do not usually start until
about a week before christmas eve.
Crimson and Clover 11-29-2004, 07:24 PM my family isnt really doing Christmas this year. Since both me and my brothers wife are pregnant and we are due the same week, my family is just gonna have a babyshower for us.
Michael [hXc] 11-29-2004, 07:45 PM I am buying presents for my best friends and my family, and I've made my list of what I want, so its all good.

Im due Feb 7 and I cant remember her due date, I think its like the 16th or around that.
dawsongirl 12-01-2004, 11:20 PM I think so far I've spent close to $200. :o But one gift won't get here until after Christmas. Guess I'll save it for mom's birthday.
Chad22 12-02-2004, 07:32 PM Im gonna try to buy some nice presents for my Mom, Sister and Grandmother.
I Only have 30 dollars, Though. So I'm gonna try to buy good but fairly unexpensive presents.
Hopefully next year i'll have more money to buy nicer presents.
Moonlight Lady 12-02-2004, 09:39 PM I'm pretty much done, I'm giving the last two people money.
I have my parents, brother, sister-in-law, sister, 2 nieces, 5 nephews, my sister's boyfriend to by for.
Stormtracker TF 12-02-2004, 09:45 PM I havent done any Christmas Shopping yet, I usually do it at the very last minute...But I always get it done.
