I got many items while I was away. I am doing a drinks pack for both DH and DD so got cordials, juices etc to put away. I also got a wine bottle stopper for DD. The water enhancers that I ordered turned up and the use by dates are into 2027 so they will become a Christmas gift now.
Also got Mum an oven cleaning kit for in her stocking and a few bath bombs and body sprays. It was a good shopping trip.

Took advantage of the sales tax holiday. Socks (lots of socks!) and 2 more yankee candles for my son. Ordered a fancy coffee grinder to go with his espresso machine. Found the small fall flavored coffee syrups at tj max’s.
Kohls had a hallmark Christmas movie popcorn bowl for my husband. He’s always playfully moaning at me about Christmas movies. It was in the clearance section. Also got him some fluorescent yellow shirts for walking and a new fan for his bedroom.

A pair of slippers for Jin. Not easy to find something cute in a size 5.

Stocking stuffers for the grandkids arrived with TEMU today. Some magic tricks, frog rings (might be big though), bracelets, butterfly barettes, dinosaur tatoos. The rest of the stockings will be candy and stuff from the dollarstore

DD and DSonIL will be going on a holiday and will be gone for Christmas. Have asked us for aqua shoes, snorkels and goggles so we will buy them part of or all of those items. Good ideas as I never know what to buy them.

Starting to feel like I am making a little progress on stocking the gift closet! Mostly have dog toys, bones and Burts Bees as well as PJ shirts for DS so far. Ordered a few things from Amazon on Friday, gift for my sister, a stocking stuffer for her fiance as well as one for DS.

Oh! And I ordered a couple scarves from Temu for girlfriends as well as a cute makeup bag for my sister.

And I grabbed a couple Mrs. Meyer's hand soaps when I was grocery shopping the other day. Figure they will pair well with a cute kitchen towel set as hostess gifts this year.

DD mentioned that she would use a dymo labeller so ordered her one plus some of the tapes.
Got my Dad's life story printed so 4 copies of that is now in the gift closet ready to wrap. Also got a few more items for DB's ice cream gift bag.

One project is to sort through what I have and make bags for DH, Josh and Jin.

I have hangers ordered from Amazon for Jaymee and Teigan. The ones that hold like 6 pairs of pants, the tank/camisole one that holds several and then another one that holds multiple. Not sure if coming today or tomorrow.

A few more items today. Hand sanitizer for DSonIL for his holiday pack, deodorant, got some bees wax food wraps on clearance, $4.00 each so picked up 4. Car air fresheners were on clearance so one for DB. I think I am nearing the end of having to buy stocking fillers or very close at least.

Over the weekend, I ordered gifts for the stocking I needed to fill. My family draws names and fills a stocking for that person. I have the DGDs done, and the person whose name I drew. DH and I will not exchange gifts since we did the deck and bought furniture for it. As the packages arrive, I inspect them and place them in the gift closet. I have not yet decided how I want to wrap the gifts, so that will need to be thought out. I will buy some fruit and candy later to add to the stockings.
