Anyone started Christmas shopping yet? What, Where and for who?

[rnorwo1]

Where can you buy these?

I'm not sure where the OP who first mentioned it got them, but I just googled and quite a few sites had them, including Amazon. I think nut.com was the cheapest of the few sites I checked.

Not a budget item, but I bought my son the Lego Disney castle yesterday. And now I am done shopping for him!

 

[AlohaNow]

I have a rule that I do not start shopping until the '-ber' months start. That said, the Disney Shop Parks app is offering free shipping this weekend so.......let the games begin!

 

[SugarRush]

I haven't started shopping but I've planned most of them. A lot will get done when I'm over in 2 weeks to see the giant mouse

I got 4 of the essential oil diffusers in from Amazon that I ordered. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B010NL7EKY/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s02?ie=UTF8&psc=1 They are much nicer than they look in the picture. I also got in 2 6-packs of essential oil to give with them. That finishes 3 more people.

I am still waiting for these to arrive: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01I9ISI12/ref=od_aui_detailpages00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I have another month to wait according to tracking. I'm glad I ordered early!

I saw some cool color changing coffee mugs when hot water is in them. I need to decide on a globe/map theme or a Harry Potter Maurader's Map for my oldest son and I will prob get my youngest son the HP one as well.

I will plan on ordering some BattleBot tshirts for my youngest. He is into Robotics and loves that show.

I will look for an end of summer deal on a pool deck storage box for my in-laws. Maybe this weekend there will be sales on summer stuff.

My DD has been eyeing up a Tortuga back pack. They are very expensive, and are geared for people backpacking through Europe or other adventures. Tortuga is discontinuing their current line, and the discounts are HUGE!

So, with this, we are probably 1/2 way done with DD.

Where did you find the HP mugs? I have a house full of fans, it sounds like a great idea.

I do think you'll find good summer sales stuff this weekend.

They are on a few "geek" websites but Amazon has them also for a bit less $$

Pottery Barn Kids is having a sale with their clearance being an additional 20% off, plus I got an email for 15% off my order. They had a ton of Christmas themed PJ's on sale for 14.99, so I paid around $9.00 for each pair. That takes care of my middle and youngest kids Christmas eve PJs.

Ordered two DVD sets for DH 1 for his birthday and 1 to put back for Christmas.

I downloaded my xmas app (Santa's Bag) to keep me on track and more importantly to track what I buy and how much I spend.

Good tip! I'm going to check out this app. It sounds much better than my current google doc.

I didnt even notice i didnt put the link. Here it is. Looks like the coupon is there, but the price went back up to $30 https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0176G38HC/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1

https://www.amazon.com/InnoGear-Aro...1_3?ie=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=3NA4CVP5YJDVK8GVJJK0 This one is $17.99. I actually put it on my wishlist!

Where can you buy these?

I'll probably get them from amazon because I'm a Zon-FanGirl. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001PM0KR...TF8&colid=1796BR3FVNIZS&coliid=I2AEP9MQT0ERME


Today I went to Barnes and Noble and got DH the Cook's Illustrated book on meat and the one of cooking science. They were both $12.95.

I'm also super pleased because I got the 5-Legged goat pin in an eBay lot of Disney pins. My friend is a HUGE Mary Blair fan. We spent an hour looking for the 5-legged goat in the mural at the Contemporary last spring. I'm giving her the pin in her stocking.

So, the diffuser link from the OP has the coupon but is more expensive, this one is $17.99 but no coupon. Does anyone know if you can somehow apply the coupon to the same product but a different link?

Thank you. I use posts like these to show my daughter. I explain to her other people buy months out and hold onto the items for Christmas. I buy for her throughout the year and give to her immediately ( I have no where to "hide" items anyways). So for Christmas we have significantly reduced the amount of "gifts" we give telling them we give them everything throughout the year. We are now more into experiences anyways. In fact, DH and I are talking about going to an all-inclusive resort in Mexico for Christmas. Maybe not this year but the following. My youngest will be almost 14 come Christmas so we have no "littles" to play towards anymore.

I've been getting a lot of "free fun size signature item" coupons from Bath & Body Works lately so I've been redeeming those and buying another small item in the same scent to put away for the holidays. Will make a cute little gift bag with a bath pouf.

 

[littlezar]

Got a couple of POC Tsum Tsum's for 10 yr old's stocking. Wow, I'm slacking!

 

[PrincessKymm]

I've officially started!

My sister sells party lite so I ordered a bunch of stuff at a discount due to one of her "deals" so the girls at work are almost done.

I ordered my BFF Lego bookends and just started DS's gifts with the Disney store sale. I ordered him some jack skellington lounge pants and a BB8 tsum tsum. Also ordered him a Kylo Ren water bottle for school but he will get that upon arrival. I got a great deal as I found a gift card so only $8.34 out of pocket!

DS13 is tough as he only wants an Xbox One. His birthday is also the week before thanksgiving. He's an only grandchild on my side of the family so he is spoiled rotten.

I think I'm going to end up giving him a bunch of experience coupons to redeem for his bday. This kid wants for nothing and gives away a minimum of 10% to charity so it's hard! Thanks to everyone for the great ideas!

 

[Hikergirl]

I just pre-ordered Beauty & The Beast 25th anniversary Blu-ray/DVD combo . Target has it for $22.99 and get a $5 gift card. That will in dd's stocking.

I'm not usually an early shopper, but I got this robot for DD7 on deep clearance at Target at the end of July.

http://www.target.com/p/meccano-meccanoid-g15-ks/-/A-16945945

She saw it in the store before last Christmas and really wanted it, but we were already pretty much done shopping for her by then, and it was $150. I paid either $35 or $40 for it on clearance. I hope she's excited (and that I can figure out how to help her build the thing, since it says it's for ages 10+).

 

[littlezar]

I totally need to get one of those Christmas list apps that keep track of gift buying!

Forgot that I already bought a pair of Stitch PJ pants, playing cards and Stitch/Scrump pillowcases from Hot Topic for the youngest. (He may look like his Daddy but his love for Disney, and especially Stitch comes from me!)

Not a Christmas gift - ordered the Tsum Tsum Advent Calendar from Amazon. Currently not in stock, will deliver when available. Hoping to get it before December!

 

[Tattylou]

Wow, impressed with all of you. The earliest I've ever shopped is the week after Thanksgiving. Of course I've been known to buy birthday presents on the drive to the party....
