Glad you have this 2020 thread. I realized that I failed to look for Christmas cards (since Boxing Day) to use for the 2020 mailings. Have to pop around the stores this week (want a change from last two years' cards) to see if I can find a deal!
Sewists & crafters-Fabricland Ontario Region 1 has 60% off Dress It Up Xmas style buttons and 60% off Xmas appliques, if you need some for upcoming projects for next Christmas

I still have wrapping paper from when Target closed. So it will be a while before I need paper. I bought two ornaments for my brother and mom, red cardinals.

Picked up a magic kit for my niece for Christmas.

I also have added socks to the Christmas bin for each of my boys (from Sportchek deal Reduced and then Buy 1 Get 1 Free)

I put money into my christmas account for january and february and after some discussion with my SO we moved the savings money to our Line of credit as we make less interest in the savings account than we pay on our line of credit. So for the moment i'm putting what i would normally save to my debt

I was just thinking this weekend I need to get rolling on Christmas gifts even though I am keeping it simple this year.
Went to CT this afternoon and bought 3 x some fingerling toy at $1.53 each (reg over $7 each. Each package has 3 monkey things, bracelet, special card etc.) Figure my niece will get a kick out of them and now I have something to add to her Christmas box.

One day this week I'm going to write out my list of people and what I have and any ideas to get and try and knock a lot off my list this month!
Example- DS's GF. Last year I filled a box with Dove shampoo/conditioner/bodywash/ loofah/ comfy socks and a bottle of wine. I will probably do the same idea this year. Consumables. I like that and if they don't they can pass them on to someone that does.
