    I was out today at Brent Cross mall picking up gifts for the family and soon-to-be extended family after my sister's wedding this Christmas. That's a lot of cash to splash, but I'll work on commissions to offset the cost. There's still more to get, but I'll finish before I travel next week. Have you finished your shopping this Christmas?

    My family is impossible to shop for. I've been racking my brain for weeks now and can't think of anything to buy.

    My Sister and Mom live in Texas, so I don't even see them often, which might give me a clue what to buy....and my Dad has everything, and owns every tool known to man!

    Cosmetics and jewellery are typical gifts for the ladies. Last year I got my sister a locket with a picture of her and her fiancé inside. I'm buying House season 8 for my Dad this year.

    I really shy away from buying jewelry, cosmetics, and clothes for women....unless it's REALLY nice jewelry, that is. Diamonds are always appreciated!:D

    Well this, but considering I have nearly nobody to buy for this year, its not a big deal. I'll definitely need to come up with something for this one friend of mine, and its gotta be done quick because with the way Canadian mail works, she'd be lucky to get it by January if I sent it tomorrow.


    ... fuck

    The only people I buy gifts for are my parents and, since I need to ship everything to them in Canada, I finished Christmas shopping back around the end of October to make sure I was done in time.

    I have some Christmas money to spend on gifts for myself, but there's no rush on that right now.

    I've bought some inexpensive stuff recently, but it's a start. I'll be spending the big bucks on Wednesday or Thursday.
