I just picked up some toques, neck warmers and snoods (scarf and hood combined) for the Christmas bag, on clearance at Giant Tiger for 50 cents, and a few 2 packs for the same price too! Some will be just for our own use too.

Moved $100 to the Christmas account today.

Grabbed 2 x 6pk socks that my oldest loved and put them in the Christmas bin. He's an adult now and even though I still buy him undies and socks he appreciates fancy ones he likes at Christmas ( I bought fancy name boxers at 70% off last year and filled and wrapped a box at Christmas and he loved it. His brother told me he would like that too lol. I have already started buying some as I see them.)

2 long sleeve tops for oldest DS! Had to order new t-shirts for the youngest (how dare he grow!) and found lots of deals ($85 long sleeve tops on for around $10!!) so ordered for Christmas. I know he will love them. So happy to have a good start. Its the odds and ends etc that cost money!

I knit my mom a shawl that she can wrap around herself when watching tv. Matches her tv room colours so she can drape over her love seat when not using. Partway through a shawl/ scarf for one niece, then will do one for another niece.

US greeting cards will get the tariff treatment on July 1. Suggest if you need cards for gifts, take advantage of Rexall's Hallmark promotion in the current flyer.

My Christmas savings this year so far are $0. I have been able to put $ away in past years. Not this one. I have been using our gift fund when I see something. Our property tax payments end earlier this year. I will use that money on the months with no payments to put into Christmas fund. This will fall Oct/Nov. so timing is a little later than I like, but just in time.

I picked up LCD writing tablets at Costco this week for $25 each for my three daughters. I have put them away as Santa presents. This was a big score for us. Name brand Boogie Boards are $40 and have been on my list as a gift purchase for them for sometime now.

Picked up a Barbie camper with Barbie for $25 (Reg $50) at Walmart for my niece. Happy to have something big to wrap tucked away now for her!

Transferred $100 into the Christmas account.
