My christmas shopping is mostly done for 2012. I shop the after Christmas specials, and keep a list of b/days. I make my own computer cards, so I dont have to dash out to buy one if I notice someone has a b/d coming up. I have a drawer in my bedroom full of trinkets that can be used as male or female gifts. I dont buy things that can smell or be broken easily.

its amazing how many changes I made in my daily life.
