I have -- I even started my holiday shopping already. Just one gift, but it's a start. I have so many people to buy for that if I see something I know someone will like while I'm doing errands I just get it and stash it in the back of my closet. Have you started thinking about the holidays yet?

I've got a few gifts purchased already for my son and my niece, but that's about it. Otherwise, I haven't even really thought about what I'll get for the rest of my family! Time to start making that list.

I shop all year for Christmas gifts. I just need to take an inventory of what I have and fill in blanks. That means less time at stores when everyone else is scrambling.

I have started my Christmas Shopping. This is the first year that I have been picking things up all year. I just about have my in-laws finished but that's because I want to have their gifts ready for them to take with them @ Thanksgiving so I can save on the shipping.
The stores have already had some great deals that I couldn't resist! I still will have some shopping to do during December but I think I'll get to enjoy it more with so much finished already!

Normally by Black Friday I am done. This year I am about half way done, but should be finished by Dec 1. It will be a "lighter" gift you, though. I've found some deals online so far, and Edinburgh outlet next week..hopefully some good things there.

I am almost completely done with my shopping. We even have gifts wrapped already and have since the middle of september. We knew we couldnt get everything at one time this year so we started really early. Lakeside Collections is a good catalog to order out of.

I'm so proud of myself I actually started shopping this month. I have been keeping my eyes out for wonderful deals rather than waiting until we're forced to make a decision and spend an arm and a leg.

I have a new technique this year. So far it's working. When I buy something for myself, I don't take off tags or open it for a week. If I still want it or care then it's mine. If I don't, it's for someone else. This could be a double shot of money savings!

I have started already by picking up smaller gifts for my kids, neices and nephews. Nothing big - checking the sales flyers each week. Even though I've started, I'm sure I'll be shopping the week of Christmas and wrapping on Christmas Eve like always.

I have also started x-mas shopping to because things are already starting to go on sale for a really good price and that way I'm not stuck spending all the money at the end of the year.
