Has anyone started their Christmas shopping?

I have. I bought 5 books on Amazon this weekend. I like to have a good start by July, and be done by September. It makes getting ready for the holidays a lot less stressful when I have my shopping done well in advance.

I keep a list of people I buy for on my phone (with the items I got for them last year, so as not to duplicate).

When I find an item for someone on my list, I mark it down. That makes for a lot less scrambling and overspending.
