Great tips, and I LOVE the four gift rule--I'll have to hold hubby down to accomplish it, but it's a great idea :) We have 25 kiddos to buy for, so I make the kid gift list in order of Age, then note the Names. [e.g. 3 (Abigail, Michael)] When I spot a great deal I find it quicker to reference by age than by name--I can see at a glance if the gift is age-appropriate for someone on my list.SAHMmy Sayshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03312083333399431135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624471.post-50173888548875832092007-09-17T15:42:37.523-04:002007-09-17T15:42:37.523-04:00I am about halfway on the crafting and maybe 1/3 on the shopping. I have to agree on not knowing what to get men of a certain age-- my step father and father in law are my annual toughies.<BR/><BR/>Finishing on the weekend after Thanksgiving is always my goal- so I don't have to shop during December and can focus on homier touches on my holiday..,Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624471.post-73299278819083425092007-09-14T14:06:33.612-04:002007-09-14T14:06:33.612-04:00I have most of my Christmas crafting and shopping finished.
