I've bought the kids stuff gradually over the course of the year. We keep it small. They have so much "stuff" but like unwrapping so I buy many small things. I'm just waiting to hear what DD1 wants from Santa to get that covered. She loves my little pony but I think if she asks for more ponies I might get her horse back riding lessons and make a MLP themed envelope to put the thing in.
My SILs are bought for (shirts). BILs, I'm thinking like some sort of trial club thing for booze. I think all of the kids are going in on something for my ILs.
Mom gets a pandora charm, my sister will tell me what she wants. NO clue what to get my dad now that we live so far. Maybe some sort of gardening or hunting thing like usual if I can find a place with good shipping.
DH needs clothes so I'm waiting for Black Friday to go nuts like I did 2 years ago. I bought him like his whole wardrobe last time for $200. I want to get him something fun too. He told me about this handheld game thing that has all of these classic games already loaded in it but I think I heard it's all sold out and people are selling them for many times the cost which blows. So maybe some stuff for his pending man cave.
Edit: oh ya my wish list. I need a new hair straightener, I want a ring with the kids birthstones in it but I want to wait in case this doesn't end up being a February baby. Tattoo time for after the baby comes, a large set of wall mount clock hands to make my own family photo clock in the living room, nursing tops....DH already bought me a babywearing sweater which I love.

I've done barely any Xmas shopping. I've bought a few clothes for the kids and Wall-E DVD for C. So far I got mh a scotch advent calendar. I'm counting that as an Xmas gift even though I will give it to him at the beginning of Dec.
For myself, I'd really like a garment steamer and new boots.

I haven't really done much. I have bought a couple toys I'm holding off giving to E until xmas. Some books. I'm not even sure what I'm going to gift. :/ I should probably think about it and get on that, huh

Normally I'm so much on top of this and just about done, but this year since we're moving on the 8th, everything is a mess. I've bought like 3 things. I'm so annoyed at myself lol
MH and me are not exchanging gifs, the house is our gift and we will need to buy stuff for house.
Kids.... got my toddler a razor scooter and some race track, the baby I got nesting boxes. Both kids will be getting Squigz, I just haven't ordered yet.
I've gotten nothing for the rest of the family yet lol

What about all the clothes you've been buying? I feel like everyone has already zipped through their Xmas lists except me!!

I didn't mean to post and run, I'm losing my mind and forgot I posted here haha
I'm done with both girls because I've been picking up stuff throughout the year and I think I ended up with too much. DD1 has a March birthday so I'll just hold onto a few things.
For DD2 she is getting the M&D latch puzzles, some small board books, Fisher price doctor bag toy, and a couple small things.
I have no clue what to get my dad or his. His step mom is getting a Nana necklace and I'm going to make a photo book for his mom and step dad. My mom is getting a personalized pillow with DD2's name and birth stats.
All I'm asking for myself is new fleece sleep pants, a planner, and new clothes maybe.
I try to keep it small as well. I get my daughter one nice toy as a treat and then some stocking stuffer things. The kids have so much stuff and they get so much from the grandparents.
For my parents and in-laws, my daughter painted some picture frames and I'm going to send that in the mail for them. It's already been sent to my in-laws since they are in another country. I don't send my parents gifts anymore but I might give like a bottle of wine or some nice coffee beans.
I have no idea what a good present is for my n15 baby. He has no interests yet and we have lots of baby toys. I'll get him some practical things like jammies and mittens.
Seriously we haven't done any shopping. MIL is buying them a play kitchen. We bought a shopping cart. They got so much stuff for their birthday that I can't even think of anything else, but they're one so they won't care. Maybe I'll wrap the socks & hoodies I just bought them? Oh I will get them each an ornament- I had a small tree in my bedroom growing up that we decorated me I'd like to keep that going with them. Have to talk to my sister and MIL about gifts though... hmmm... gotta get onvthat

I have done nothing so far. And since I broke my foot, I'll have to order everything online. H has been talking about an apple watch since the first one came out. Target has a black friday sale on the series 1 so I'll try to get him that one. If I can't get it online for that price, other places have it for a little bit more so I'm not overly concerned. I'll just spend less on his stocking stuffers. I'll just get E some little things so he can rip up wrapping paper lol. Everyone else I have not even thought about ugh.

My sister is getting the official Outlander cookbook, her request. I'll probably also get her some bath and body works stuff.
H is probably going to get some new clothes. He has like, one pair of jeans or something. He needs a pair of darker denim. Maybe also a new sweater to wear over button-downs when it gets cold, or a fleece to layer with. He's always cold! And I also have a book I want to get him, about the history of Oklahoma. I have the picture somewhere in my phone...
Mom will get some kind of grandma swag, and some B&BW.
After that...I have no idea. I'll get both H and E some little things for their stockings. I ordered her a toy drum. I'm waiting to see what she gets for her birthday before getting Christmas stuff. I'm already nervous about finding room for bigger toys...
H is kind of in charge of finding gifts for his family I never know what to get them. I have a couple of nieces I need to get gifts for, and their mom will send me ideas soon.
As for me, H is getting me a new iPhone, because mine keeps getting cracked. I've stretched its life out beyond two years, which is about as far as iPhones like to go in my experience. Other than that, I haven't really asked anyone for anything.

I'm doing a bottle of scotch for H, and I have no idea for O. Something small, our house is stuffed to the brim. We will be in NY with the IL for christmas so I may not really even do anything from us for her.
One thing I'm very excited about is a canvas that I got for my mom and my bro- there is this old poem in my grandparents house and the lovely mynameiscarrie is hand lettering it onto canvas for me for both my mom and bro. That will be fun to give them.
