I absolutely try to avoid last minute shopping. My husband loves it and spends Christmas Eve buying all his gifts he needs to get. I freak out if its not done before then. :)Sherriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08995445900194585035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7903433327920936021.post-22091590902580754962009-12-03T22:13:58.402-06:002009-12-03T22:13:58.402-06:00I had my last minute WalMart moment the night befo...I had my last minute WalMart moment the night before Thanksgiving, when I realized that by brother-in-law's birthday gift had never arrived (the item was no longer available). Last minute shopping in WalMart is no fun.

At least a gift card forces me to spend money at a certain place!Tamara Hart Heinerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07562765111202443160noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7903433327920936021.post-47713184913839338282009-12-03T16:21:22.339-06:002009-12-03T16:21:22.339-06:00When I lived near my family (I have 6 sibblings al...When I lived near my family (I have 6 sibblings all with a family now), I used to go to walmart, buy baskets, popcorn, movies, juice boxes, sodas, a bottle of wine, and all kinds of googies times 6. I would make a gift basket for each. The theme of the basket was a movie day. I figure, after Christmas dinner each family could seat and watch the movie while enjoying the goodies of the basket.

I'm going to leave work and hit the places on my list and hopefully knock out the rest of my part of the shopping. The part my boyfriend has to help me with -- his mom and daughter -- I'm sure we'll be doing the week of Christmas!Stephanie Farishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10461865229341760836noreply@blogger.com
