We are pretty broke this year, with my husband being the only one working.  Daycare began costing more than what I was earning.    So I'm waiting for black Friday sales adds before I think about gift ideas.  My sister in law and I are planning on shopping till we drop on black Friday.  Hopefully I can get everyone done cheaply.  Only for my hubby and kids though.  I am crocheting everyone else a set of dish cloths and butterfly bookmarks, easy and cheap.

Call me a Scrooge, call me a 'witch', call me whatever you want, but it is bad enough seeing this Christmas crap already invading the stores and TV. Now we already have a thread about it on FC?! Aaaarrrgghh.....I wish there was a way to BLOCK all discussions of this from even showing up on my computer when I am here. Gee, why don't we start discussing Easter? It IS October after all.

Note: I am NOT downing the OP personally for posting this. I would say the same thing no matter who did it!

Well it is a free society (some what), so don't read all the Christmas Stuff, your choice it seems. Anyway,............ Merry Christmas.

I love Christmas and generally have all of my shopping done by November. I don't like not having money around Christmas time so I start shopping early.

You are absolutely spot on, Garydh. Believe it or not, I happen to love the holiday, but NOT because of all the money that gets poured into it. It also bothers me (more than I can express) to see and hear people who cannot afford it putting themselves even further in debt because they are made to feel 'obligated' by our society to do it. Thanks for calling me out on that one!

I bought some gifts at the After-Christmas sales and put them in storage.  I also go to Clearance/Sale sections in stores and buy gifts throughout the year.  There are also a lot of toys on sale after Easter.  I try to customize my gifts for family members.  Many women in my family stick to one or two perfumes so this is not hard to do.  Many of my family members love scented candles too :-)

Wow those are some really great ideas BizE ty

I haven't even started yet. I have a 4 year old so of course I plan to give him a nice Christmas as usual BUT this year it is so tough trying to afford it all.

for the past two years i really wasn't able to give out much gifts but this year is gonna be different. I've already started shopping for my gift bags. With couponing i have been able to get a lot of things for FREE or up to $1. I've also found good deals for items online. So far i have spent about $20 and have a nice stash to put in gift bags. I have body wash, razors, air wick freshmatics, nail polish, 6 piece shot glass set, 8 piece mixing bowl set, children dvd's ... A lot of it i pay for with money i earn from Fc and other survey sites
