A little early, even for me, LOL.
I couldn't pass up a Nightmare Before Christmas fuzzy pajama set on clearance for DD (23).
I have am not giving it to her now because it is almost the end of the fuzzy jammie wearing season, so I am putting it into the gift stash.
Now I will just have to remember where I put it.

LOVE IT !
I’m just like you; if I see a great sale I buy it. In the past, I find great deals right before Christmas and save for the next year or possibly an upcoming birthday.
Love finding those perfect gifts!

I usually start right after Christmas! Especially for wrapping paper and stocking stuffers.
I have a specific, same place where I put all my gifts because I've misplaced them in the past.

Good for you! While there are shut-downs and Post Office problems and trucking issues, shopping for the holidays all year long makes more sense than ever. Add in the benefit of greeting November with the calm assurance of a gift stash in place and eliminating a huge December budget hit. As for remembering, I find it helpful to keep all pre-purchased gifts in one hiding place &/or writing on the list I keep where they're stashed. Great idea to snap up something you see that you know will be liked.

Shopping all year spreads out spending too.
I don't have the need for as many stocking stuffers, but I have always pick those up all year long.

Whenever I need to remember where I’ve put things, I email the location to myself. I used to write it in a notebook, but one year I lost the notebook. (Poor addled ADHD brain.🤦🏼♀️) There was also a year when I hid my two very valuable diamond rings before flying off on holiday, and then took 20 months to find them again. 😄 |

If you use an iPhone, you can do what I do. I open the notes app and keep a running list of what I’ve bought, where it’s hidden, etc. and sizes. I then add a password to that particular note so no one can open if it they don’t know the password. |

Y'all reminded me I have a Christmas gift app on my phone!
You can use for gift ideas, status (idea, ordered/bought, wrapped) as well as a budget per person. It is pin number protected as well.
I think I need to use this as I buy gifts for over the next few months so I can keep track of what I've gotten and don't over/under buy for anyone one person.

Well done, I'm impressed! That's taking 'being organised' to a whole new level.

i used to do that too. I also wrapped it immediately and put a little number/letter underneath where I would put a bow or whatever ornamentation. The letter told me who it was for and the number got logged in my binder listing what it was. If you did something like that, you could also write where you hid it.

I just got a box from Zulily that has several Christmas gifts in it. Now I need to remember that I have them.

I have already started shopping for Christmas too.
Bought some Legos for my grandson.
Edgar Allan Poe mug and book for my daughter.
I have an area in my closet dedicated to Christmas presents.
