I have, actually. I took advantage of one of Lands End's free shipping events to buy some items on sale for various people. And at Marshall's I bought a set of sheets in a subtle shade of purple for my granddaughter's room in the house they're building.

YES! It's very unusual for me, but I found a real bargain a few days ago and bought gifts for my Nixon Yaya friends. Now if I can just remember where they are in December!

You are SO funny, Sandy!

Um. No.

MaryAnn, maybe you should tell US where they are so we can remind you. :) Or come help ourselves out of your house, depends- what did you get them? lol

Heavens no.

But I saw a couple of things while packing that I could give away as Christmas presents. :)

Moni

I'm in my "summer garden sitting outside enjoying the sunshine tending nurturing enjoying the fruits of my labor and entertaining" mode. So...no ;o)

No, I always plan to start early, but not this early.
Leslie

I have 1 gift.. it's a doll set for my nephew's GF's toddler. Less than $10. and was originally over $50. so I couldn't pass it up.

Good gosh NO!
If I bought something this early I'd just give it to whomever it was intended for.

Yeah, right. I'm just looking forward to my vacation.

I've bought the one and only gift we are buying. It's for Bob's ex wife who comes to our home for Christmas dinner.
I used to shop all year starting with the " say after Christmas " sales, but there are 5 kids and their spouses and 10 grandkids plus Anna. We can't keep up with what the grandkids want or need. They are usually video game related and those change too fast to buy ahead. The kids have varied wants and needs too. We will either give money or cash to all of them.
My mother and step dad want home made candy. I'll make that for them and also give them a gift card to one of their favorite local restaurants.

Linda

Heck no. I just send gift cards to a few people.

nOPIE!

Yes, I bought some last year at the after Christmas sales.

no way!
Deb

Summer just started. I don't want to even think about Christmas because it is in winter. Winter was just over in April.

I always buy Christmas gifts when we travel. Even if it is something to put in a food gift basket for my brother and sis-in-law. They love it. I can't say what I bought so far, as DD might peek in, and some of it is for her!

Tami

Not specfically for Christmas, no. But I do buy things all year long for friends and relatives when I see something they like and it is a good price. I put it in a large container with their name on it and pulled it out for birthdays or Christmas or just because. I just sent my sister a big box of things because she and her boyfriend took me everywhere when I was down in FL for my Mom's 90th birthday.
Clare

You're a funny, funny woman, Sandy....

Nope, but with all the sales going on, it sure is a good idea. Used to shop all year round when the GK's were little, but they're all getting too big and like $$$ better. Okay by me!

Nope.

Nope! LOL

Waaaaaay too early!

You're kidding, right?

I made a Christmas explosion box....it will be one-of-a-kind because it took me hours to make

Uh...er...that is..uh...NO!! LOL

Yes, I have but the real question is will I remember where I put them when December gets here?

Linda

I came across a gift and toy shop back in April which had decided not to carry toys any longer, and all toys were 60-80% off. So I've got all the children's gifts purchased. Feels great!

Nope.

Sort of halfway...

I'm going to be knitting things for some folks (some will get scarves, others will get hats/caps, etc.). I've gotten the yarn I will need, but I'm still knitting baby things for my new grandniece/grandnephew (gender still unknown) who will be born within the next few weeks.

Of course... have to keep up on these things. Actually, only picked up a few things...

Christmas gifts? No.

Actually, I give few gifts, any more - make gifts to charity, instead.

This is a date in infamy, for South Koreans ...

... it's the date 58 years ago on which North Korea started the Korean War.

When most of your country gets hit by the devastation of modern war, not just once, but 4 times ...

... you know very well what horrible effects war can have on almost every family in a country.

Any country that starts a war (often somewhere else) should have it visited back on their place ... maybe they'd think a couple of dozen times before starting another.
