I'm not really a Christmas gift-giver. I'm more of a birthday present kind of person, because it allows me to spread out my shopping haha. It's too stressful for me to think about what each person wants all at once, especially because I'm so indecisive. But my friends and I do a secret santa gift exchange within our group, so then each person only has to buy one thing and everyone's happy! Although this year we're not sure if we can actually meet up over the holidays, so that's yet to be decided.

My parents are not gift givers, and it has rubbed off on me. Mother feels obligated to get me something, though, as I am her child. For the past few years, it has been a gift card or two.

@sunny: My mom is the easiest family member to shop for. It's my brother and uncle I tend to have trouble with.

Honestly, I haven't started.
I feel like every year I'm like "I'll get it done early" But that never happens.

I can't be the only one who does this lol

@Kirrai: I have an older brother and it’s impossible to get him anything. He has a good salary, so, if he wants something, he buys it himself.
He also has a size clothing you can’t easily find (xxxxl since he’s 6 feet 10) and his shoes are size boat.

@Tuijp: Just get him the all occasions socks (or beer). But even if he can afford to get what he wants, I guess it's about appreciating what you do get, even if you can get it yourself?

Size Boat... rofl! I found that funnier then it should of been, more so since I can relate with a couple of people lol.

My mother issued a budget for what to spend on my brothers, since they're too spoiled. Mothers... lol

My son who is 11 is the main gift getter this year. He's pretty much all I can budget in this year. He likes the band Skillet so I am buying him one of their cd's, a gift card for google play or walmart and maybe a few other small things that I know he's into, like puzzles, he loves fuzzy socks-the cuter the better, loves hot coco, and thinking if I can make it work into the budget that keeping Xbox Live Gold will also be his gift.(And mine as well as I play Xbox a fair amount as well... and am thinking of trying Fallout 76 once gamefly rents me a copy, lol.)

SO's parents pretty much are getting their gifts early as they can be used right away. He's getting a pair of Muck Lux socks which should be here tommrow. He keeps on wanting to pay us back, but I told him to consider it an early Christmas gift from us.

@Kirrai: he doesn’t drink (so there goes that) and the fun socks I’d buy him, always go up to eu size 46. He has 47.

My mother tried the same before, just to go over it herself. After that, when she would tell us a budget, my bro and me would be like “yeah sure mom” and then go over it even more.
From that, she learned not to set a budget.

Here in the darkness I know myself

I’m making home made spell candles for my friends, ornaments and home made candy.

My mom is getting an insta pot and a hoodie.
I found game thing that has Burger Time on it for my dad, and probably a new sage stick / spray

I have four sisters: so they are what I’m tackling now

So far for my girl friend I have clothes and stocking things.

Can\'t break free until I let it go.
Let me go..

"ahoy,

also part of the haven't started yet crew D;
but i'm also the type to not really do gifts
so i'll just buy a gift the day before i have to or something like that xD

or i might homemake a few things and hope people like em

@Zuzu: my dad's also hard to shop for
but i realized the best gift is no gift at all since he buys all he needs already, so any gift my dad usually thinks is a waste of money

A lot of my family actually aren't getting gifts from me this year because I won't be traveling home. I just bought a new house.
