Do you have your Christmas shopping started ro finished? We are on a fixed income and with everything being so

Question

expensive we have to start early. So I have some ideas but haven't started yet. Will probably next week as soon as I get over my cold.
Couples: Who decides/does all the shopping? My husband leaves everything to me. The ideas, the shopping, wrapping, decorating..

Answer 1

I am the exact same as you. I am going on Friday. My husband has me do everything, except he does take the kids out and he and them will get me presents but the kids wrap those gifts. I am hoping to get the bulk, but I will probably pick up a few things here and there until Christmas.

Answer 2

If I left the holidays to my boyfriend, we would shop, wrap, hang decorations, and put up our tree, all on christmas eve. I decide in October to just take charge and start figuring out when I'm going to do certain things, I start looking for prices on the internet. I am also on a limited budget, but I have spent many years making a few bucks go a long way.
Fixed income doesn't mean anything if you look for bargains, clearance, etc. Have fun with it. Christmas should be a time of happiness, not stress.

Answer 3

We usually shop with the mass of people a few days before Christmas. I'm guessing it's the same this year.
