If I have the chance, I always look for bargains whenever I'm at a store (I actually do this year-round). For example, yesterday I picked up a couple of copies of a wonderful children's book called John, Paul, George and Ben - originally priced at $16.98, it was in the bargain section at BN for $5.98. Thanks for the tip on the Dollar Store - I'll have to see if the one near me has holiday stuff already. I’ve started my holiday shopping also, although I’m not nearly as organized as you!

I have several toy items put up for my kids- one being an expensive American Girl doll I got for FREE. My order was messed up and the doll was sent that I didn't order. I expected a packing slip to be sent to me but customer service advised I get to keep it. Hence, my eldest daughter's big present is already obtained & FREE. My eldest son is all about Harry Potter- and not just because of the rage this summer. I'm getting stuff now that its out there and hiding it away. A funny present I've already bought is a sweatshirt for my sister in law. I got it at the summer camp we all went to as kids (now my kids are going there). She will love it! I find the biggest hitch to getting ready for Christmas is coming up with ideas. But this year, I'm loaded with plenty of good ideas! I’ve begun as well.
