This year I am *determined* to get my holiday shopping done before, oh, the week before Christmas. Last year, I was running around frantically trying to find gifts for everyone, and I really don’t want the hassle this year. I’ve come up with a list of gifts that I think everyone will like, and they’re all things I can pick up here and there throughout the next few weeks. I would love to have everything done by the end of November so I can relax through December.

I’m hoping I can pick up some of my gifts during the Black Friday sales. I make it a point to stay away from the malls and other stores on Black Friday, but I make it a habit to browse the Black Friday ads ahead of time so I can shop online. I love getting all my shopping done without living home. Hopefully I can find some good Best Buy deals on movies and other electronic items. Best Buy is one of our favorite stores for movies and electronics, and it’s one of the stores I *love* doing my shopping online at because our local store is *so* hard to access. To me, the added shipping cost is usually worth the hassle of dealing with the traffic.
