I do the same thing shop all year. I even begin with the after Christmas sales...My kids love hoodies..they can never have too many. They look the same evry year so I will buy stacks of them after Christmas when they go from $30 down to $9.99. I am considering doing the online shopping thing next year..everyone swears by it.

yeah i'm all about after Christmas sales, usually try and wait till after the first of the year, when stuff is 70-90% off I bought all the grand babies Christmas clothes for this year last year, they are young enough to not argue about what the clothes look like, and I guess pretty good about what size they 'will be' in a year I do the same for their birtdays, as well as buying bulk, in sweaters, hoodies like you and those darn 'sets' of like perfume, lotions etc...i stock pile those, and then just make little baskets etc out of them for gifts all year, another one my favorites to buy for next to nothing, is 'throws' you know every one likes those, then i have wedding gifts etc done for the years, also jammies, i buy tons of jammies, what chick doesn't like getting new jammies? :wink: i buy sets for like 3 or 5 bucks, that were regular 25 or better...gotta love it...also our daughters birthday is Jan. 31 she always gets tons more because everything is sooooo cheap mid january!

I do alot of my shopping online, my kid just turned five, she has always only wanted like two things, of course I can not buy just two gifts, I only have one kid so I go a little over board. Her big thing is Mrs goodbee doll house.
