Haven't started actually shopping yet but am making lists. We have a huge family so lots of ppl to buy for, lists are absolutely necessary. 

I've been doing a lot of online looking. Mine gets mixed pretty well between all of it. Online and out in the stores, I love Black Friday!

I started right after Christmas last year. Normally I like to be done by the end of the day black Friday with the exception of small stocking stuffers. 

I do have lists of what I want to get who and what the budget is.

I have also looked at several things on Pinterest for brothers and sisters and in laws.

Havent started shopping yet.. DH always gets a $500 holiday bonus each year around Thanksgiving and we are major Black Friday shoppers so we wait til then to buy gifts, but I have started making lists of things to buy people..If we see something we want to buy someone thats on sale we will get it though, like last year we saw this big snowman shaped bevarage container thing for $40 and both imediatly thought of dhs mom, who collects snowmen, but didnt have the extra money that day so we went back the next weekend and it was on sale for $14! SCORE!
