If you read Laura's comment on my last blog and are also wondering if I'm done with my Christmas shopping, the answer is, no, not exactly. What I said was that I bought the last of the gifts I wanted to get for the KIDS. I am done buying gifts for Kalena and Will. However, I am also mostly done with the rest of my shopping. I have 4 or 5 gifts left to get, and I know what I'll be getting for at least 3 of those. This is my favorite part of Christmas shopping: waiting for the gifts to arrive. I know you're dying to know, so here's my Christmas shopping method:
1) Decide what to get people. This requires a list for some people, not for others. Usually I only get a list from Brian.
2) Price shop. Mostly online, although I did check ads while I was looking at toys for the kids.
3) Order stuff. Or go to the store to pick it up, whichever is cheaper. I usually find stuff online for less, but this year I found most of the kids stuff in store.
4) Wait for online orders to arrive. This is my favorite part because I feel like I'm getting something done every time I get a new package, even though it's just the mail.
5) Wrap gifts. Alright, this isn't really a shopping step, but you do have to do it. I like to wait and wrap all my gifts at once when I'm in a wrapping mood. Feels extra productive and you only have to get all that crap out one time.
How do you shop?
I'm pretty excited to see my name in print there!
