I know we will be posting a video on this later...but one big tip from me...buy plenty of wrapping supplies!!!!! No one wants to go into Target or anywhere else on Christmas Eve because you don't have enough to finish wrapping last minute items. Last year I had to go get tape...I ended up at Walgreens because it was the only thing that wasn't completely packed with last minute shoppers.

I agree with the previous poster, buy the wrapping supplies ahead of time, and also at Target every Holiday (especially christmas) they have large plastic tubs for storage. Used to store ornaments and tree stuff, defenitly grab two or three of those!!!!!

I am one of the Target Maniacs from last year! One thing I suggest is buying all your wrapping supplies the day after Christmas when it all goes 50% off. I went to the Dollar Tree the day after Christmas last year and it was all only $1 to begin with, but getting it all for 50% off was even better. So this year I don't have to buy wrapping paper, tape, gift boxes or anything like that. Or if you can wait until a couple days after Christmas when it all goes to 75% off that is the best time to buy wrapping supplies.

Shop the clearance racks and now is a great time to get small appliances such as crock pots and deep fryers.

Remember your mammograms ladies:)

A quick last minute shopping tip is buy a few little extra gifts just in case you get invited somewhere last minute or someone brings a guest you can run and wrap. Like candles,body lotions just a little something.
