So my mom took me shopping today and I was armed with gift cards and plastic LOL

I did all my Christmas shopping for four kids, plus my brother and sister, plus my nephew for less than $200.
I got some good deals at KMart because they had a lot of things on sale or buy one get one half off.
I got my daughter the Fur Real Friends baby white tiger that she has been asking for the past 2 years. I got my 3 year old a dinosaur playset...he is HUGE on dinosaurs and playschool had a cute set with mommy and baby dinosaurs in plastic eggs with little cave people. I got my 5 year old son a hug semi truck that is also a carrying case for his hotwheels and it came with 17 cars. He will love that! My daughter also got a kitty surprise. I got a couple little playschool car sets for our 19 month old...they were very cute and are squeezable but are like toddler type hotwheels so he should be pleased with that!
I picked up a few odds and ends for stockings plus a few other little gifts. My 5 year old is getting two remote controlled cars this year and both my 5 year old and my 3 year old are getting these little robots that they totally flipped over in the store. We got a bunch of dinosaurs for 88 cents each for my 3 yr old and I also got him a triceratops that walks and roars when you push a button on his back. He seems to like triceratops the best of all.
We got Disney's Lightning McQueen cars for both boys. Just the small ones...the large ones are like $40 each!!!
They are each getting new underwear and socks and a couple outfits. New shoes too.
I guess I really spoiled them this year! I told my husband he needs to take the plastic away from me. LOL

Oh and I also bought some baby gifts for my cousin who had her baby back in October. He just came home from the hospital last week and I bought him and outfit, a babies first Christmas stocking, a stuffed bear, and two blankets.

It sounds like you did REALLY good!
Well done!

I am done except for hubby. I don't know what to do there. He's such a poop about gifts that I really don't care to get him anything. Yet I know that before the day comes I will relent just so he can't say I didn't buy him anything.

The hubby and I have been wrapping a little each night after the kids go to bed. I am sooo behind this year! I usually have all the shopping done by then end of October and everything is wrapped and in my closet by Thanksgiving...which makes for a long December! This year I am down to 17 days and counting and I still have to get for my sister in law....we are going to get hers today I think?

My deal of the year....yesterday I got a brand new tan colored Puppy Surprise for my son for $2.00!!! He has been begging for one since last year and I found it in the color he wanted!

I still have my husband, mother, mother-in-law and a little something else for my son. I just don't have any idea on what to get. If they don't give me some ideas soon, they will get a gift card. I don't want to waste money on something they don't want or don't need.
