How's your Christmas shopping coming along?

Posted by Mop (aka rburriel) Nov 4 '15, 11:43

I ask this as a leading question, frankly. An opportunity to humblebrag but also stun you with my oddness. For I have already bought Christmas presents... for my ex-wife and her husband.

I'm going to try to do it all at our gift shops. That employee discount tho -- nm - con_carne Nov 4, 12:15
YGM because I do not want my stalkee to read what I have done for him so far -- nm - Peglegpete Nov 4, 12:05
started for my Stalkee. Planned for others. Not much else. -- nm - Diva Nov 4, 12:03
Started planning, but haven't started shopping. -- nm - ReluctantCynic Nov 4, 11:50
I started thinking about it the other day but it's so stressful I had to stop. - Krusty Nov 4, 11:48 2
- Give it a month to sink in. You'll be a lot less stressed. -- nm - Mop Nov 4, 11:56 1
  - Hell, make it two. -- nm - Spawn Nov 4, 11:57

Not bought a thing -- nm - tRuMaN Nov 4, 11:47 1
- how you feeling? -- nm - Pippy Nov 4, 11:48
I need to find stalker gifts, something for the Santa project at the library, gift cards for the grandkids.....done. - Meg Nov 4, 11:47 1
- You too with the being just about done. Nice! -- nm - Krusty Nov 4, 11:50
I bought my first one yesterday (kindles were $30 off). -- nm - fabulous squad Nov 4, 11:46 2
- I bought a new paperwhite for myself earlier - that's the lowest price they've had with it. (also, from bb, I've been liking cashew milk, too.) -- nm - b. Nov 4, 12:37 1
  - ^I should add that, for prime members, the 30 off one is still available today. 5% back for amazon with discover this Q, too, if you're signed-up. -- nm - b. Nov 4, 12:38
Only bought a couple of small things thus far. I'm going to struggle mostly with my brother's partner. - ty97 Nov 4, 11:45
I need to buy for my ST stalker, a yet-undetermined family member, and buy a few more gifts for Kim. - David Nov 4, 11:45 11

  - I'm compelled to go over board - I have no idea why -- nm - Pippy Nov 4, 11:50 9
    - I will not be able to go overboard this year at all. Those pesky 'Hamilton' tickets... - Diva Nov 4, 12:09 6
      - I am with you - I need to make a budget this year and stick to it. I think our new puppy will be our present to each other - Pippy Nov 4, 12:19 5
        
        Hmm. This is a great idea except I have already started buying her stuff. -- nm - Spawn Nov 4, 12:20 2
        
        might you consider saving it for bday, anniversary gifting ideas down the road? -- nm - Diva Nov 4, 12:21 1
        
        No romantic enough for anniversary, and birthday is end of June! - Spawn Nov 4, 12:22
        
        yeah, we are doing fitbits for each other, so that's easy. -- nm - Andie Nov 4, 12:19 1
        
        yonh. we are doing one gift to each other and then little things for stockings. That *should* help. -- nm - Diva Nov 4, 12:20
    - I love giving gifts. I'd spoil everyone if possible. - Krusty Nov 4, 11:52 1
      - *agrees wholeheartedly* -- nm - Pippy Nov 4, 11:57
you are a wacko. - decline Nov 4, 11:45 11
- I made reservations last night at a local Indian casino for 24th-26th. It's closer than Vegas :) -- nm - Meg Nov 4, 11:48 3
  - very nice -- nm - decline Nov 4, 11:49
  - I'm excited for you - sounds fun! -- nm - Pippy Nov 4, 11:49 1
    - It was there or the Queen Mary again. QM would have been twice what I paid last year and I was disappointed they don't do an "English" Christmas. - Meg Nov 4, 12:09
- Right, buying a gift for the stepdad is weird. -- nm - David Nov 4, 11:47
- Mop will be starring in his own show next fall Crazy Ex Husband -- nm - eag Nov 4, 11:47 4
  - and here I thought I was a poster boy for the Friends with Exes club. - znufrii Nov 4, 11:51 1
    - You have an ex? I had no idea! -- nm - Mop Nov 4, 11:57
  - He's so broken insiiiiiiiiide. -- nm - David Nov 4, 11:47 1
    - :) -- nm - Mop Nov 4, 12:00
- And you call *me* a wacko? -- nm - Mop Nov 4, 11:45

- and, put one thing in my amazon cart for my SS. -- nm* - Andie Nov 4, 11:46
I wonder what the IM is. Probably ... chicken breasts. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 4, 11:44
I bought 6 during the woot-off and already had a couple. -- nm - Spawn Nov 4, 11:43
I've still got a birthday to figure out before then. -- nm - znufrii Nov 4, 11:43 2
- My son's birthday is 12/12. We try not to do any Christmas decorations until his birthday is over, so as to make a distinction. - Mop Nov 4, 11:45 1
  - I've got 2 and a half weeks to figure out if its cost effective to get our turntable repaired and where to do that, or just buy a new one -- nm* - znufrii Nov 4, 11:48
