I am going to get my daughter a new planner for 2023. I’m going to write positive quotes and messages on as many weeks as I can so that she’ll look at them and think of our family and how much we love her.
I like to be 90% done with my Christmas shopping by Halloween. My sisters and cousins and I always go Black Friday shopping. We clean up after Thanksgiving dinner, get our kiddos to bed, take a little nap and we leave at 1 am all stuffed into my minivan (it’s a 2 hour drive to the city). We shop at the “Open all night” stores and just have fun hanging out together before the crowd really hits. Then we go to iHop and they have to keep me awake with silly car games and a lot of coffee on the 2 hour drive home. It’s so much fun! (Note: I get my shopping done in the first few stores and then nap in the car while they finish up so I am safe to drive home.)
Yes! Love this! I always think october is for getting the gifts ready, november is for baking and decoration and december it’s time to get cozy 🤶🤶🤶 love your top! You look like a move star from the good ol’ days 😃🌟
Can I just say you’re always stunning. But this hair. This outfit the vibe idk what it is.. it’s giving effortless old Hollywood working mom at home glamour. You’re GLOWING
I love being prepared and taking my time to find gifts! You can never start too early for Xmas. Thanks for the gift ideas. 🥰 Love you and all your content.
The older you get the prettier you get. There's very few in this world that looks better as they get older but my dear I believe you hold the crown when. You do age the best. I hope the rest of the family is doing well. Merry Christmas
I try, I really try, but I can't keep up with you all that get your Christmas done by Thanksgiving. I cant do the midnight dash on Thanksgiving to get Christmas presents. My family is too big, I have too much food to put away , grandkids that want to spend the night and I'm sorry I'm too damn tired to go out and go shopping. I'd rather, hang out with my hubby, play with with kids. I admire all of you that can get it done early. Happy Holidays to everyone. Let's all be nice to each other and be blessed and joyous to be with family, it's the small things that make memories.
Adding so many of these to my Amazon cart! Thanks for fun items. I love a good stocking stuffer! Stockings are the best thing my kids, their spouses and our grandkids always love opening. I try to make them the best part of opening gifts time. You helped!!! ❤😊
have been preparing early for two years now. we do our Christmas shopping from september to november. 😱 my friends and family thinks I'm kind of "weird" but I don't care 😉😉 in December I want to spend time with my loved ones and do fun activities. 😉 love from Norway
I bet others have commented this already but I think it's actually good to be early with gift ideas, because a lot of the time you have to order it online and if you live in a more exotic country you might have to order it abroad even, and that means it can take a month to arrive! And even if that's not the case, I'd rather be early than try to quickly gather something in mid December. Not to mention that all of your gift ideas were so good! I could definitely see myself using all of the ideas at some point in the future
I wish I could shop early, but being so tight on a budget I have to look for the absolute BEST deals. Honestly, it's hard right now, waiting on a Christmas bonus and living paycheck to paycheck. By the way, I'm loving that top on you!
I actually started this year in June. That’s a little earlier than I typically start, but that’s fine. I actually think I’m almost done with my daughters gifts (aside from stocking stuffers) and I’m really making some headway with everyone else’s gifts.
Whoa!!!!!!! 🤯 I’m not worthy 🙌 I’m not worthy 🙌. I literally wanted to do this! You literally read my mind. my thoughts exactly I don’t want to stress this season I want enjoy and bake with my daughter spend time with my family instead of being crazy stressed and a spaz. Thank you Angie 😭
I shop throughout the year for every holiday. We have a big family so I shop mostly sales. At the moment I need Stocking stuffers and a gifts for a few adults
80% done by October. I keep a list in my phone when family/ people mention something they like during the year and start collecting around July. Ps Angela you are beautiful, very classically elegant.
I've been shopping and I have everything that came in wrapped already! I love that I won't be scrambling around December 24th wrapping gifts all night.
I was all done Christmas shopping before end Oct the last couple of years. Other than stocking stuffers that we like to do in Dec as a fun family activity. Aiming for end Nov this year.
Everything is done except stockings and my hubby’s gift here but am waiting on my hubby’s until around Black Friday because it’s an electronic and if it somehow is a broken unit I want to be able for him to exchange it:) I am actually starting to even wrap it all 🎉
creme savers yes!!!!!! my 8th grade boyfriend put a creme saver in my back pocket during a school dance and saved it! buying this for all my 30 something y.o friends
Merry Christmas, How I get my Christmas shopping done. It's easy, I buy a/one gift for my husband for each month. Jan I buy one, Feb I buy one gift and so on. I wrap it then all I have to do is put the bows on them. More fun, I buy my 12 gifts, and this way I don't have returns.Love it!
I do Christmas shopping all year long, as I find things that I know certain people would like. I try to be completely done, wrapping and all, by the end of November.
Adding the dino comb to my list. We are almost done. Still trying to choose sleeping bags for the kids which they will love and will use to sleep in front of our wood stove all winter long for the fun of it. I want to be done before November I start planning in July. But it will be some books, now adding the comb, educational puzzle or toy for the start of the school year in January, sleeping bags, flannel shirts and matching Christmas jammies. They get so many toys we are drowning. Plus a couple small stocking stuffers.
I’m known for being done with Christmas by now but this year is the latest I’ve ever shopped. I thought I would be stressed about it but I’m actually very chilled out! 🤓
My family (the gals) do this as well. We clean up the Thanksgiving meal and take off….we do spend the night in a hotel…we each take a specific type ribbon and when we purchase and take bags out to the vehicle we tie our pkgs with “our specific “ ribbon…so easy to reach in and grab our own when we make it home and are unloading…also that night at the end of the shopping we wrap the gifts and put them back into our bags with our ribbon. Voila
I wait until after I kids' birthdays are over (beginning of October) then start collecting Christmas gifts. MOSTLY done shopping. What I haven't gotten yet, I do have an idea, at least. Love these ideas
Glad I see this one month after, because I wouldn't be as happy one month ago 😅 It is now 10th of December and NOW I starting to come in the mood for Christmas time 😁✨
Angela is here to feed into my madness! I started decorating for Fall in August to push us in back to school mode! Now that it’s officially Fall my brain is all about Christmas! In my defense we have a family of 6 and one income! I start buying bits and pieces through out the year that are on good sale! Buuut October is really just two months until December so that means ITS OFFICIALLY TIME FOR CHRISTMAS(shopping,prepping,planning)
I like to be done with shopping by the end of October every year, except for gift cards. This way it takes away some of the anxiety of Thanksgiving, decorating for Christmas, etc.
I usually don't like to do anything Christmasy until after Thanksgiving, but this year I'm so in the mood for Christmas that I want to start early this year.
First that top looks fabulous on you! Im Not done this year..tho last year besides a few last minute things everything was done and wrapped by this point..I shop all year round.
omg I love that comb. :D Such a great idea posting earlier. I decided posting Christmas ideas on my channel earlier as well. my reason mostly to share ideas before Black Friday so may moms can save a bit.
I just love your videos! I mostly watch the homeschool ones but I enjoyed this. I’m pretty new at homeschooling, on my 2nd year. I’m almost done with my Christmas shopping. My sons birthday is right before Christmas. I couldn’t afford to wait til the last minute. I buy gifts all year long and put away. I also need 1 of those sunglasses holders! I’m always throwing them all in my car! I also want to get the bone Comb for my son. It’s so cute! Thanks so much!
Both of my kids’ have birthdays in the 3rd week of November, so I start looking for their birthday/Christmas gifts during Summer time. I start our Hasting around September, and aim to be done with all gifts in November.
I always love your recommendations... I always like the age where I can gift grooming related stuff. This year my MS is 9 and will be giving him stuffers related to it like a small brush like the one you showed, nail clippers, etc. Is funny they are gravitating towards rhose sections in walgreens.
I have 7 adult children. plus all those extra family members (girlfriends, boyfriends, son in law, etc) so I start in September so I don't have to do it all at once. I want to enjoy the season of Advent with less stress!
I love Christmas shopping early , We have 16 people to buy for (kids, grandkids) we buy three gifts each. We are 75% done!, Only a few gifts and a handful of wanted gift cards (Teens are so hard to buy for!) I drive them crazy asking for lists! I want to be done by Thanksgiving, Then I can turn my time towards cooking, decorating and family events!
We do secret Santa among the adults of the family and my MIL asks for lists at Thanksgiving (Oct, I'm Canadian) so this has to be thought about ahead of time.
I like to have ALL decorating, shopping, and wrapping DONE by 12/1 because my daughter's birthday is in December, and I don't want to be too busy with "Christmas" to celebrate her too. (And I like all my decorating done when people come over for her party.)
I once read in a book "If you feel behind in life, get a head start on Christmas" and it's been a very helpful nugget of advice.
I am going to get my daughter a new planner for 2023. I’m going to write positive quotes and messages on as many weeks as I can so that she’ll look at them and think of our family and how much we love her.
This is so sweet!!! What a thoughtful personalized gift!
Awww

You're a trooper. I like your style
Boycott 1 am sales…..no one should have to work those crazy hours
That sounds FUN !! I need to start shopping in Oct/November 😅
If you're going to do it, do it this way!! I love this for y'all!!!!! Awesome memories forever ❤️
Yes! Love this! I always think october is for getting the gifts ready, november is for baking and decoration and december it’s time to get cozy 🤶🤶🤶 love your top! You look like a move star from the good ol’ days 😃🌟
Can I just say you’re always stunning. But this hair. This outfit the vibe idk what it is.. it’s giving effortless old Hollywood working mom at home glamour. You’re GLOWING
I’ve started and hope to be done around thanksgiving! I love being done ahead so I can relax
You look gorgeous today! Don't know how a busy mom like you manages to always look so nice.
I love being prepared and taking my time to find gifts! You can never start too early for Xmas. Thanks for the gift ideas. 🥰 Love you and all your content.
Start Christmas shopping all year long as soon as I see a special and think of someone or see something special that I know will go fast etc... 😊
The older you get the prettier you get. There's very few in this world that looks better as they get older but my dear I believe you hold the crown when. You do age the best. I hope the rest of the family is doing well. Merry Christmas

That top does suit her. And I'm in the sane boat as you. Christmas won't be so material this year.
We already bought some presents and deccorations a few days ago and watch a christmas carol yesterday so we started already.
I actually started this year in June. That’s a little earlier than I typically start, but that’s fine. I actually think I’m almost done with my daughters gifts (aside from stocking stuffers) and I’m really making some headway with everyone else’s gifts.
I am totally getting my husband the wallet ninja! Creme savers were my favorite!
Your look for this video is *chefs kiss perfect for the season! You remind me of a tree topper Christmas angel.
Thanks for the ideas!
I’m with you Angela ! I start early too. It’s a relief to get things done in order to spend more time with family and friends! 😉
Whoa!!!!!!! 🤯 I’m not worthy 🙌
I’m not worthy 🙌. I literally wanted to do this! You literally read my mind. my thoughts exactly I don’t want to stress this season I want enjoy and bake with my daughter spend time with my family instead of being crazy stressed and a spaz. Thank you Angie 😭

I’ve got a start on my Christmas shopping. 😊. I’ve also decided on a few things that will be gifts.
Excellent. Thank you for kick starting holiday shopping and for doing it so early!!!
I love the way you use the phrase 'the mess out of'....cah-yoot!!!
80% done by October. I keep a list in my phone when family/ people mention something they like during the year and start collecting around July. Ps Angela you are beautiful, very classically elegant.
Perfect. We have this issue with sunglasses in the car all the time. Thank you!!!!
Loving the background and the makeup outfit everything 100% xxx !
I appreciate the earliness as well! Love the Christmas touches in this video, your outfit, the decor, the video ending! Nice holiday feel!
I've been shopping and I have everything that came in wrapped already! I love that I won't be scrambling around December 24th wrapping gifts all night.
I was all done Christmas shopping before end Oct the last couple of years. Other than stocking stuffers that we like to do in Dec as a fun family activity. Aiming for end Nov this year.
You look so glamorous! 🌟
I forgot about Cream Savers! I loved those and will be ordering!
Everything is done except stockings and my hubby’s gift here but am waiting on my hubby’s until around Black Friday because it’s an electronic and if it somehow is a broken unit I want to be able for him to exchange it:) I am actually starting to even wrap it all 🎉
I always Christmas shop year round. I even have some gifts for Christmas 2023 already 😂
I appreciate the earliness!! I started early for the first time this year and already feel so much less stressed!

Would love to know your lipstick and nailpolish. Loving your outfit for Christmas! I feel like you are solving all my Christmas problems today.
oooo la la , look at you! Pretty. I think I've seen creme savers at Dollar Tree.
I love Christmas so this makes me excited
I just happened upon your video and clicked on it and I am so glad I did! So many great stocking stuffer ideas...thanks!

Yes we decorate right after Halloween and finish shopping before Thanksgiving! We Homeschool Christmas so we can relax and enjoy baking crafts etc ❤️
Omg the bone comb! So cool! Ordering now! To put away for stocking stuffer so unique
These vibes are making me so happy
That portable fan is a wicked good stocking stuffer! Thanks!
I start in September. As soon as I am done paying for back to school. I am 90% done. Including teacher gifts and Christmas Eve boxes.
My family (the gals) do this as well. We clean up the Thanksgiving meal and take off….we do spend the night in a hotel…we each take a specific type ribbon and when we purchase and take bags out to the vehicle we tie our pkgs with “our specific “ ribbon…so easy to reach in and grab our own when we make it home and are unloading…also that night at the end of the shopping we wrap the gifts and put them back into our bags with our ribbon.

Usually start at black friday but tempted to start early like you said, so I can actually enjoy December 😅
We are almost done Christmas shopping we just have pjs and stocking stuffers but I want to just enjoy the season with my family!
Glad I see this one month after, because I wouldn't be as happy one month ago 😅 It is now 10th of December and NOW I starting to come in the mood for Christmas time 😁✨

I get done before Thanksgiving and have done so since my first child was born on Dec. 3 fifty years ago!!
Thanks for all the great ideas! I am always stumped when trying to find gifts for family and stockings. I'm all for early Christmas present videos!
Where did you get your blouse? It’s beautiful and looking for something similar for holiday parties this year
Oh my gosh, creme savers!! I haven't been able to find those forever!!
Could you do a tutorial on how you do your hair in this video? I purchased the shirt and now I’d love to know how to style my hair like you 😊
Great ideas. Thank you for sharing.
I like to be done shopping by December 1st, too. I'd rather enjoy the month than be stressed about decorating, buying gifts, etc.
I love the earliness too! I'm usually done with shopping by the time regular gift guides come out!
Great gift ideas especially for someone like me who hasn't started shopping!! Lol
I usually don't like to do anything Christmasy until after Thanksgiving, but this year I'm so in the mood for Christmas that I want to start early this year.

I started in February. Hoping to be done this month with EVERYONE!!!!
I like to do Christmas shopping all year round, if not, at least I like to try and get it done before December.
I love Creme Savers candies! I buy them at my local Dollar Tree! The have 3 flavors to choose from. Yes, so nostalgic ♡
Loved this video. The Dino comb and wallet ninja are neat gift ideas. I want to try the shower steamers. Thanks for sharing.
Crème Savers! Oh my goodness, yes!

Thanks for your ideas.
Also interested in your beautiful sweater if you can elaborate on where is your sweater from and if still available.
These were fantastic gift recommendations!!!! 🎁
Love the way you styled your hair! My hair is so pin straight it just will not hold any curl.
I love Christmas shopping early , We have 16 people to buy for (kids, grandkids) we buy three gifts each.

I’m a earlier shopper but I’m a late wrapper lol. Thanks for sharing! 😊❤️👏🏽
Thank you for this! We’re living in Korea right now, so buying and shipping early is gonna be a must!!

I start Christmas shopping for the next year right after Christmas.
I start my Christmas shopping for the coming year the day after Christmas.
