November/December Mommies
So has anyone besides me thought about how you are going to get your holiday shopping done this year? I plan on being finished by Mid-October so I wont have anything left to buy once the lil one arrives.
Please tell me I'm not alone here...

Re: November/December Mommies
I'm due January 1st, but I'm having the same holiday shopping dilema. I plan to do most of my shopping online so I'm not wandering through the mall 9 months pregnant.

I'm due 12/22. The waldbaum's near me has a wall of giftcards, everything from Home Depot to Nordstrom's. I figure this is the one year I can get away with giftcards for everyone.

Re: November/December Mommies
Ii am due 11/22 and it is ALL about the internet- i can probably get everything I need for everyone from Amazon.com.
being that I'll be on maternity leave- I'll be able to receive packages!
with that said- I guess I SHOULD start early.

Re: November/December Mommies
I'm due 12/23. We'll be doing most of our shopping over the internet. That way we eliminate a trip to the Post Office since we have to ship everything to our families regardless.

Re: November/December Mommies
I am due 11/3 and plan on pre-shopping as much as I can. I am going to 3 days a week for work in Sept. and don't know if I will work at all in Oct - so I am planning on shopping as much as I can. Everyone else will either get internet purchases or giftcards!
Our baby will be the first in the family in 18 years, so hopfully everyone will be more focused on her/him than what is under the tree!

Re: November/December Mommies
I haven't even thought about it. But, I am due the beginning of Nov. and usually don't do my shopping until the beginning of December anyway. So, I will probably just go as usual. I internet shop mostly anyway, so it's no difference for me.

I'm going to be getting a bunch of gift cards for everyone. But I'll still get toys and goodies for the children in the family.

Re: November/December Mommies
I am doing all gift cards. Since I'll have been on bedrest for so long at that point I'm looking forward for a night or two out to pick them up. I'm definitely not going crazy shopping this year and I'm sure everyone will understand = they're getting two wonderful presents this year! 
ETA: Be careful buying gifts too early b/c of return policiies!

Re: November/December Mommies
I have already started. Anytime I am in a store I just take a look around to see if there is anything appropriate.
I am due 12/15 so it will be right smack in the middle of everything. Plus, it hurts the wallet less if you do a little every week!

Re: November/December Mommies
I've already started getting ideas (for our nieces esp), but no actual purchases yet. Most of our immediate families will be happy with baby pictures in nice frames, and I like the idea of gift cards..
I don't think that the majority of our families are expecting a whole lot out of us lol. We're due 11/19, right before Turkey Day :)
