I was just thinking about Christmas the past 2 days. I need to get rolling. Think I am almost done my niece so maybe I will sort her stuff and wrap it this weekend and then see what I need. I have lots for the oldest too.

70% off clearance at American Eagle.

Bought 2 sweatshirts, 2 t-shirt and boxers for youngest DS and a t-shirt for oldest (I already picked up a few clothing pieces for him so happy to have some for the youngest now!) Having it delivered to my work so I don't have to worry about anyone at home seeing it.

Boxes- I have started collecting them for wrapping clothing. We have perfect ones at work that our envelopes and cheques come in. I will appreciate this when I start wrapping soon!

Saw that Longo's is selling 3-roll packs of 3M Gift Tape or Magic Transparent tape for $4.97. I intend to buy one pack next week. Meanwhile, I took one of the extra rolls I had stashed in Mom's giftwrapping supply drawer.

My Hollister order is slowly being shipped out. 1 item still on back order but so far 3 separate shipments are on the way. Can't wait to open my bins this weekend and sort stuff

2 more parcels in my mailbox yesterday from Hollister. Wow I'm pretty sure this order cost them more to ship then what I paid for everything! Still waiting on a few items for Christmas and a sweatshirt for DS for now.

Hollister cancelled one shirt from my order. oh well at least I received the pullover sweatshirt for DS and he loves it. So will be watching for a credit on my credit card for it since they had charged me for all already.

Grabbed 4 $1 scratch tickets for stocking stuffers. I will be on the hunt for the Christmas ones this weekend. I scratched 1 and won $3

Just finished the 2nd of 2 scarf/shawls for my nieces. Just in nick of time. Going to Georgia with my mom on Thursday. Will block tonight and should be dry Wednesday so she can pack them. To finish out their gifts I bought merino wool long sleeve tops from Costco... they go to school in Toronto and New York so I figure scarfs and merino works. Also a gift card each and yearly Christmas ornament.bought nephew LEGO set and sweat pants and nice sweater today at target...yes my favourite store..target! Got a few stocking stuffers, a new iPad cover for mom. Main gift for mom will be a mattress topper...looking at options. Still have to buy for one niece. Some stocking stuffers and a few things for shoebox program. Dh and I are not buying for each other as we hope to be getting a puppy in March so saving $ for that. We are on a long waiting list but hope it works out as these puppies will be sired by our recently deceased dog’s half brother. So putting positive vibes into the universe and hope it works out.

I did not see holiday gift things or hats in Rexall flyers for this retail season (as was the case last year, there was a holiday gift book), but a recent Rexall e-mail had a Well.ca Holiday Gift Shop section. On that site link, there are hats, onesies, socks etc. A few things are from the Drake General Store brand so if you have a Well.ca incentive shopping code, you can see what's offered this year.

I will keep eyes open for a new air popper deal-I can live without the butter dish (I used a small pot on the stove to melt how much butter I want). I used the old one recently for two batches of corn kernel popping and the machine sounded like its 30+ years have caught up to it (more noise now).

Pretty sure I saw name brand tape at Dollar Tree.

Time for me to visit the store I keep walking by 3x or so per week!
