    I haven't finished my gift shopping yet. Have you? How are you thinking when you make or get gifts for your loved ones?
     
    Fortunately my Mum is pretty easy to buy for, I just get her some posh body lotion or hand cream, speaking of that, her present literally just arrived.
     
    Finish shopping at least two weeks in advance.
     
    I'm waiting for payday to finish mine, 5 more days.
    I do have a few things already though, I'm not very organised.

    I was about to praise the people who finished their Xmas shopping well in advance but wow, if you wait 5 more days and still manage to finish alright, then that's worth praise too in a way ;D
     
    Braving the shops tomorrow to do the final bits of Christmas shopping. Right now I'd say I've got about 90% of my gifts for people bought, probably got like 1 or 2 to go.
     
    We already finished our Christmas shopping. I'm really excited about this year because I got my parents some awesome gifts. I got my dad a pair of army pajama bottoms. He was in the vietnam war, and he's always had a thing for anything related to wars. He also likes the camo designs as well. I got my mom an iPad case because she keeps saying she needs one, but she can never really find what she wants. I just hope she likes the one I found for her.

    My dad is often hard to shop for. He has limited interests, but this year it was easy. He pointed things out that he wouldn't mind getting. Things I got him were I Saw the Light (it's actually for both of us because Tom Hiddleston lol shhhhh), Star Trek Beyond because he's really into Star Trek and has the other two movies too. I do a lot of the wrapping for him when he gets stuff for my mom. The reason is because he has a hard time wrapping. I do as well, but heh... I try to do my best though. He has a hard time shopping for my mom, so I helped him out this year. I picked a couple things out and put his name on one of the gifts. XD
     
    I actually got this done already and won't be panicking the final week before Christmas like I usually do. ;D Not my proudest gift-shopping but it'll do - I usually like to get gifts that are more fun and interesting and suited to their interests than generic things like clothes and stuff, but I did just get my brothers some sweaters this year (they're nice sweaters though!). I don't really have a whole lot for my dad so if I have the time I do want to add to his present, but I'm set for everyone else. Dads are definitely the hardest to shop for.
     
    I have to shop today :/
    Me too, let's go!

    I hope they were awesome "ugly" christmas sweaters (; And yeah, my dad is sooo hard to shop for. Maybe I'll sing him a song instead lol
     
    I had to wait for a few seasonal kiosks to open up for some things, others I bought in the fall.
    I went to my mall early on a weekday morning when it was nearly empty early in December though. :P Easiest way to do xmas shopping.
