[QUOTE="muttmeister, post: 225086, member: 135"] I always begin shopping on December 26 for the next year; it saves a lot. I had a gift exchange at Red Hats and I took a box of Christmas ornaments (a high heeled shoe, a lipstick tube, red sunglasses, etc.) that I got at Hobby Lobby last year for 80% off and it was the hit of the party. I also bought beautiful reindeer Christmas decorations at Kohl's for two cousings; regular $40 and I got them for about $10. I had bought a $24 game and an $18 tea set for my granddaughter last year also and paid about $10 for the two of them together. I don't splurge for the little kids because they are more interested in having lots of presents than a few expensive onew so that helps. difficult child 2 is in jail and can't have much but I did get him a couple of jig saw puzzles. difficult child 1 has gotten stuff all year so for Christmas I made him a scrapbook of the last trip we took together. It was one of those projects I'd been putting off but I finally got it done and I think he wll be pleased and it didn't cost me anything except a new print cartridge. I bought my two daughters-in-law/significant others toasty warm pajamas at Gordman's: regular $50 each on sale there for $25. That is my favorite store. I've been buying small things all year so I didn't have to put out a lot at the last minute. I plan to go shopping on December 26 and start stocking up for next year. [/QUOTE]
