I am pretty much finished my Christmas shopping. I have been done for probably the last 3 or 4 months now. I don’t know if I mentioned this before, but I am giving gift baskets to everyone. I know everyone is going to love them because they are packed with things they use alot (soap, toothpaste, deodorant, shampoo, pain relievers, food items, cleaning items, etc.). Personally, I would love a gift like this! Well, maybe not one with the items I am putting in mine, but only because I have enough of that stuff as it is with all of my deal hunting - but I love gift baskets in general. Themed gift baskets are the best such as pet baskets with pet food, toys and maybe a blanket. Movie lovers baskets with some popcorn, pop, other snacks and a gift card to Blockbuster, a tea lover basket with a mug or 2 and a bunch of tea and maybe some cookies… I just love baskets! They are so much fun to make, usually very cheap and always go over well! I’m so excited to give out my baskets this year. Not only do I have baskets for everyone, but a gift bag full of stuff too (because it wouldn’t all fit in the basket!).

We’ve also decided to get our parents a little something extra, other than gift baskets so that is pretty much all we have left to do. My dad’s gift is done so we’re just brainstorming for my mom and my in-laws. I can’t wait to hand out all of our gifts - that’s my favourite part of this holiday! I love seeing the look on everyones’ faces! I also can’t wait to give them out because they are taking up so much room on my bookshelves downstairs. I may have to move them to the floor because I’m running out of room to put my stockpile items, which also keep flying into the house. Ahh, I love you coupons.
