Think I've created this thread every year for the last several years now. I'm all done shopping for the wife. Actually finished her up this morning & wrapped everything up so I don't have to deal with it later. However, I have to go out with her to get a couple things tonight. If she can't find what she's looking for we'll have to go Christmas Eve. I am NOT looking forward to this at all to say the least...
So, what about you? Have you finished shopping, or you a last minute shopper?

I've always been a notoriously bad last minute shopper, I tried to get as much off my lists as I could early this year. Still not done yet though, so old habits die hard (no pun intended).

Finished it yesterday. Parents, boyfriend, brother, niece, friends, and most importantly... the dog all bought for! I had a habit of going out during my lunch hours at work and buying what I needed. Handy as I work in the city centre. I can't handle the shops on Christmas Eve haha!!

Just got to the mall. The wife is working in one of the stores here & gets off in a few min. HOLY SHIT is this parking lot packed! It's just f***ing insane with people not knowing how to drive, very limited open spaces, & rain. I'm afraid to see what it's like inside. If I don't make it out alive, make sure my dog gets all my stuff!

Finished buying stuff today, with some last minute chocolate purchases, and my last internet order coming today. I could've maybe bought some more chocolate, but everyone said 'not too much' sweets this year. Since I was done buying, I decided to wrap all of it today and finish up.

Yeah, but I have a morbid curiosity to go out to the stores that open late.

Yes, I make sure I get all my shopping done early or at least order online and make sure it's delivered in time. No way in hell do I go anywhere near a shopping mall in the week leading up to Christmas.

Almost. I got the final gift for my gf, a badminton set, yesterday. Just got one or two little prizes for my class for Christmas Day's lesson to pick up today. I'm not heartless enough to make them do work on Christmas day so it's going to be a fun lesson with games and prizes like candy canes and small kids toys like bouncy balls, bubbles, stickers etc to win. Just got to pick them up from the shop later and I am fully done.

Mall was pretty crowded but not as bad as I thought. On a side note, we got a cinnamon roll iced coffee from Cinnabon, & it was beyond awesome! Highly recommend it if you're into that kind of thing!

got everything done Saturday night... I was completely drained for the rest of the weekend...If I wasn't the one driving there I'd probably be less spent...
Or as I put it in a text to my friend... "The mall where stupidity and jackassery combine into a terrible voltron of aggravation."
Still need to wrap them... probably do it tomorrow when I get home from work.
