Have you started your Christmas shopping? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

I've got very little to do, and most of it involves gift cards and online stuff.

phoebe7165 · 11-27-2011, 11:01 PM

The past few years, we've kept our gift giving to a minimum, we just get tired of all the commercialism overkill. I shop throughout the year, if I should just happen to see something, I get it, so as to not have to deal with the dolts at the end of the year. So I am just about done.

HuntingtonM15 · 11-27-2011, 11:02 PM

Yes, and I'm very close to being done.

Family Ties Forever! · 11-28-2011, 01:48 AM

Yes. Getting gifts for some people is more fun than others.

I'm trying to decide what to get my brother and his family. I might get them all one gift. The one from last year is probably still laying around somewhere unused. It was a nice gift, imo. Last year I got them a Navy scrapbook that had the Navy logo embossed on it to put together as a family while my brother [at the time was on deployment].
This month is also my sister-in-law's birthday. I think in her case [birthday] a card will suffice.

I bought a few small things tonight for people but most of my shopping will be done online.

MrCleveland · 11-28-2011, 01:57 AM

Just only a couple of things...

I'll just be giving those coupon booklets to my family this year...I just don't know what to really give 'em.

Last year, I gave them this...

Yes, got all 3 of my daughters big presents ordered. Just need to get a few small things and I have to make my moms and grandparents presents.

Zoneboy · 11-28-2011, 03:35 AM

I got my [unofficial] niece some presents today and I'll get my girlfriend a few things in the next week or so. My only wish would be to have a son or daughter to buy gifts for but not this year.

ponytail · 11-28-2011, 05:30 AM

I start early and I'm basically done. I even have most of the gifts wrapped.

MickeyMac · 11-28-2011, 09:39 PM

Unofficial? Does that mean she's like a niece to you, but not related?

She's the daughter of my girlfriend's brother. She calls me uncle Charles and even though I like to think of her as my niece, it won't be official until we get married.

I got my shopping done very early.

treky · 11-29-2011, 02:01 AM

no, not yet. I don't have very much to buy, since our family has agreed not to give gifts to the immediate family (we still have our family pollyanna, though) because my parents and mother-in-law are in their 80s, all the adults are in their 40s, 50s, and 60s, and the nieces and nephews are all in high school or college now.

angiefan · 12-01-2011, 05:58 PM

no,not yet. i had to shop for my brother's birthday,which is today.
