Christmas shopping is pretty easy for me. I don't exchange gifts with any family members because they're all out of state, no longer living, or we're not close enough to get involved in gift exchanging. Hubby and I decided when we bought this property that it was all we could ever want and agreed to no longer exchange gifts. The only people I give gifts to at Christmas are some of my on-line friends, the mailman, the road agent and the UPS delivery man. I do all my shopping on line and love it...no crowds, no hassles, no going out in inclement weather. I can sit in my warm, cozy house, in PJs with a cup of tea or coffee and shop to my heart's content at the computer. Long live amazon.com!!!

I do love Amazon when I'm purchasing (not so much when I'd dealing with them as a Vendor).

Yeah, I've got a lot of people to buy for: best friends, siblings, my secret santa pull for the extended family, nieces, etc. So I do a lot and sometimes going out and shopping is all you can do.

I do love buying online though because I can just do it and then have it all come and not worry about it most of the time.

Nice, I guess there are apps for everything now :D

I don't buy too many presents, but I like to put thought in the ones I do. I just wish people would appreciate it more.

There really are. I need to create one and make a bunch of money. LOL

My problem is that I have a good amount of people to buy for and birthday presents throughout the year so I pick things up as I find them and can never remember what I bought and how much I've spent. The app helps me with that. Phew!

Hehe, yeah, any ideas yet? *g*

Ohh, yes, forgetting what you got for someone already. I'm good at that :D Or forgetting where I put it :D

Nope. Every time I think of something it has been taken. I mean if I had the knowledge I could improve on some of the apps I've gotten... like a pantry app so you know what you have and what you need. The ones out there are so limited.

My mom is bad about where she puts gifts. I have a large wood chest that I put everything in. Can't misplace it that way. LOL

I love to shop too, but I prefer doing it in about October. Any time past the middle of November is crazy time at the stores. It is such fun to find gifts that people will love - I could easily spend 5x what I do on everyone I buy for, the hard part is restraining myself to one or two things because that's all I can afford. :)

I always start early so I can pay for everything but I see your point. I like going at the beginning of December when things aren't as bad as they can get and there are decorations everywhere.

Yes, restraining the gift giving is hard but sometimes I save things I find for birthdays. I'm so bad.

I'm bad too. I always spend more than I plan to. :) I just love getting things for people - I can't wait to watch them open their gifts and see the smiles when they love it.

It is so true and often times I will just buy something else because I now someone will want it.

I have to admit I enjoy gift buying but don't like the Christmas crowds so a lot of my gift buying is done online. Hate the crowds! No shopping traditions either.

Love the idea of the app so useful!

I like to buy online too because sometimes it is just more convenient and sometimes you can have things delivered to people far away and I like that. But a lot of the time I go out and do the shopping. Just feels more fun to me.

I love that app. It is sooo useful.
