RondackHiker

What gifts have you gotten already?

mammersoh

Yup. Buying is ok. Wrapping already...a tad crazy.

CTGirl30:

Yes.

I'm torn between saying she's crazy and wishing I had her motivation.

I agree! I wish I was organized enough to shop throughout the year.

Wrapping the gifts is a bit nuts.

I am so over Christmas. I will not be ready to deal with it again for another 9 months, minimum.

catycate

Yes.

RondackHiker

You must be better at wrapping or storing than me. Because my wrapped gifts fall apart in days.

I'm bad at wrapping.

CinemaGoddess

Yes, you are crazy.

klondikebar

Yes, you are:) If I find deals on little items throughout the year, I will tuck them away for birthdays, Easter baskets or Christmas, but that's about it.

MintBerryCrunch

Yep. Totes crazy.

RondackHiker

She's doing the paci battle. I really can't judge anything too much.

ATMmom324

If I started wrapping things now there is no way they would still look decent by Christmas.

Good point. I never went through it with my kids, but I've heard horror stories. Carry on and keep shopping.

Come Christmas she will be relaxing and mocking us all.

I was gonna say this. I would totally forget what I bought! If I wrote it down, I would forget where I put the note.

How do you pick up a present for someone a year in advance?  I don't even know what I would want for my birthday in april  much less next xmas and my kids interests will change 3 times before next December.

You have me beat. I am so close to silver, but it has taken forever. About two years!

And, yes, laurie, you are crazy.

Yeah, that's a little crazy. If I wrapped gifts now and tried to store them, they would look like swizzle by the time Christmas came around 11 months from now.

argonne

I will not start shopping for Christmas for exactly 11 more months. I wish I had the drive to see gifts throughout the year. I don't, though. 

lauriebyronm

i have my closet packed already, i speed the target 70 sale. i got a hot wheels track, Thomas the train set, sesame street kitchen, and lots of other things. i'm gonna write down what i bought and who its for in my tally sheet. I'd rather wrap now then be bombarded at Christmas with tons of wrapping

[Deleted User]

Well, Clark.  Just don't forget where you put them.

Wufroggy79

I can't predict what DD will be like in another year, so there is no way I could pick out a gift yet.  Fall, yes.  Now, no.

You're probably crazy but I am right there with you. I picked up a few things at the Target sale last week and I'll probably get the rest of my shopping done at their next big toy clearance in July. This is what I did last year and it worked out well. I have a closet where I keep the gifts tucked away, and keep a list of whom each gift is for.
