Wow !! Just cant get into even thinking about Christmas shopping yet

Walmart has in the Ontario flyer a three pack of 3M Magic Transparent tape dispensers for $3.47 until Wednesday. Good for many things including wrapping gifts. TAPE!

I have started a basket for the tape and ribbon etc. Lots of tape for sure! Nothing worse then trying to get the wrapping done and no tape.

I know it is crazy but appreciated in November/December when I have to get into it and have most of it done. Its easy to start when kids are young I find. But for some reason I found lots for my oldest this year already. Just need to wait to see what Santa will bring him lol

Dollarama. Guinness World Records Fact Cards $1.50. Bought 3 for DS's stocking. He loves and collects the books. Anything to keep him reading. These are great to take easily in the car for road trips for hockey!

Bought 2 stocking stuffers for moms stocking...not getting anything done as my mom decided to sell her house and move to apartment in early August. This has consumed my life since then. Getting house ready to sell, getting rid of 30 years of stuff, finding an apartment, shopping for thing for apartment. Move next Monday so I figure by Nov 1st should get my life back. Then will be in major cleaning(my house is now a disaster as I am never home) shopping, wrapping decorating mode...this year I can't wait for January for a rest

Bought socks for my oldest yesterday. Will tuck them away for Christmas. He may need them now. I have to go through my odd sock bag and see if I can fill his drawer. Then I can add the socks to the fancy AE boxers I bought him.

I want to sort my stuff this weekend and start wrapping. I am itching to do a SDM redemption so this weekend is the plan. See what goodies I can get for Christmas (my back up is steak etc lol since we gotta eat )

All the girls in the family are getting homemade scarves. They were supposed to be Scarves with pockets and hoods but the pattern is eating up my yarn so instead they will just be scarves with pockets.

Each Scarf needs 5 balls of yarn - Normally $5.76/ball on Sales for $4/ball + 40% off (Friends and Family Event). Each Scarf will cost me $12 to make. I need to make 4, x $12 each equals $48. Best part I bought the yarn using profit I made from selling Crochet Sheep pillows earlier this year which I do not budget so it was like getting these presents for free.

Will also be making Sis a Baby Groot Pillow I have most supplies on hand just needed another ball of Brown yarn which was normally $4.99/ball on sale for $4 minus 40% and I will only use maybe a 1/4 of the ball rest will go into my stockpile for later projects.

This has the girls taken care of (Sis, both Bros gf, and cousin's wife). I budget $20/person so I have come in under budget.

Did a SDM redemption on the weekend and bought each boy new ear buds since they were in the clearance bin for $10 each and retailed for much more. They both have been scanning the house for some because missing/broken etc Good stocking stuffer! I also got a fragrance sampler pack ($85) but saving that for DS's bday in the new year since I already have lots for him for Christmas.

* forgot I also picked up electric toothbrushes for stocking stuffers with my SDM redemption.

I ordered my sisters gift yesterday and 4 rocketcopters for neices and nephews. I got my moms gift around thanks giving. One sister left stockings and my mil.

Bf and I do a together gift so we bought a Bose speaker for camping.

The boys are up in The air they won't say what they want. They might be going south so we could do money but I know whatever we choose their mom Will either duplicate it or tell them what is planned. They are getting shavers but not a surprise because... yeah just won't be a surprise. Bf can pick stuff for them this year.
