i bought myself a elf shirt at work today and 2 magnets for the fridge. sometimes just gotta buy for yourself
i recently bought for me too. I got some nice gel pens and some sticky to do lists for in my planner. Will go in my stocking.
Back from the mall. Got DS the DVD series that he enjoys watching, NCIS and The Big Bang Theory as well as a few other movie. He watches a movie every night and it is what he likes most for Christmas. A lot of the summer clothes are coming into KMart and I got a few tee shirts for me. Got my mum some pants and a shirt that I will put away.
Also there were some funky socks for DH for $2.oo a pair. He doesn't need them now but I have bought them for his Christmas stocking for next year. Too good a price to pass up.

Thanks .. now that the kids are getting older its getting harder to shop early for them. I am just used to being able to pick up stuff year long. Guess those days are limited
Brights side is that we will get our christmas club check at the end of next month, just in time for black friday shopping LOL
Started to really feel like I am getting back into the game here .. picked up several more gifts last night. Our son got the Star wars Disney infinity gaming system for his birthday and wanted more of the star wars characters well right now Toys r us has a sale going on .. Buy 1 get 4 free!!! So last night we got 5 for the price of 1. Also stopped by bath and body works and picked up some fall scented hand soaps along with a few extras for gifts.
Minta, what an amazing find with the Star Wars figures. Well done!! If there was a bath and body works here I would be in so much trouble LOL.
One of our very large department stores will be closing in our mall in April 2019. It is a very big 3 level store. When I was in there a few days back they had some great items. This will be a shop that I frequent heavily over the next few months and try to get as many bargains as I can. I am not sure what will be opening there as it is a huge space, hopefully something amazing.

Katrina ... thanks .. A lot of times I have to stop my self from going onto Bath and Body works cause I could easily buy half of the store and it doesn't help there is a store 5 minutes from my work. The only reason I went the other day was because I found a long forgotten gift card there plus they emailed me a $10 off when you spend $30 or more plus another coupon for a free bottle of lotion. so after sale, coupons and gift card I spent $10 cash out of pocket for 10 bottles of hand soap and 1 bottle of lotion So now I am safe to stay away from there for a while LOL.
Hope you score some great deals as they close up the mall and reopen it with something great.

I'm finished for the girls. I wrapped all their presents this week. My only issue is my oldest doesn't have much variety. She wanted an expensive Lego set, but I'd like to get a few other things that would be interesting for her that aren't Lego. She'll be 7....going on 60. Not much into toys, so she is very hard to buy for. I try to make sure the kids' presents balance out in both what I spend and the number of gifts under the tree.....the exception being for the baby of course. She doesn't need anything, so she just has a few things so the others don't feel like she was forgotten.
FS way to go on the gifts. You are really ahead of the game.
I am grocery shopping on Friday this week and want to look for a few stocking fillers for DH, his stocking box looks very empty at this stage. I might try and find a cheap paperback or something a bit bigger to try and make his stocking look fuller.
I think that the kids are OK but will see when I wrap.

FS - you are doing great. How about something to craft for your oldest ds? like big knitting needles or a crochet with some yarn?
