Christmas shopping &#8230;. started or finish </SPAN>

The wife handles most of the family Christmas shopping &#8230; basically shops all year round for the family members, mostly right after Christmas for the sales offered, Black Friday, Thursday after Thanksgiving, so by this time of the year very little shopping is required by her.. ( Note: Everyone get the same number of gifts .. this year it 10 items) drives me crazy&#8230;</SPAN>
However I buy each member of our immediate family a special gift, so that requires of me 9 gifts and the wife&#8217;s multiple presents so the total is around 15/16 gifts. </SPAN>
So as of now I have only 5 more gifts to buy, they are all for the wife&#8230; I can have this completed by the weekend&#8230; </SPAN>

How far along are you in your Christmas shopping?&#8230; who left on the list? </SPAN>

Yeah, I did mine already. I have to buy some gift cards still, but I can do that whenever.

I am almost done. I have gotten all but one gift (out of 11) online, and will probably get the remaining three online as well.

I like to wait until the last minute. So I'm not even in the planning stages yet.

Stocking Stuffers ??? We have some standard stocking stuffer that everyone jokes about and makes fun of ... but they still look forward to the gift..
Standard Stuffer: Tooth Brush, Heggys Clusters, Chap stick, Fast food or Star Bucks gift card, Rock Candy, Jordon Almonds those are the standard items ... Note: I get only ammo
After those item then it get crazy... Plastic lips, Flarp, Heat pack, old wooden toys, jacks, gyroscope...

Sat in the easy chair with the iPad. Finished in about an hour and with 2 beers. Best Christmas shopping ever.

Amazon Prime makes this especially easy to do.

I actually took my car to Sears to get oil changed/tires rotated today, and in the hour it took them to do that, I knocked out a majority of my shopping. I think I'm pretty much done, otherwise. I've never been done this early. Usually wait until about December 22nd to start.

Haven't started yet. Was in India the last week so that put a damper on getting anything done.
