Default Where will you be Holiday Shopping this year?

I'm just curious where everyone will be shopping this year. I plan on using bath and body works, kohls, and jcpenny as my main shopping places since they have great coupons most weeks :-)

My closet mostly. I started stocking up on gifts right after Christmas. If I have the money maybe a few things from Amazon. I'm just thankful I started buying stuff while I still had a job.

It is just my husband and I and our 4 children here, both of our families live 800 miles away. I have been price matching Toys R Us sales at Target and WM for a few weeks now. I also do The Children's Place for kids outfits. For my husband, CVS or Walgreens for Men's toiletries and treats, like Russell Stover chocolates. We send our families Harry and David baskets each year. For out of state kids, usually WM or Target.com to send toys, or we may do gift cards. Books make great gifts too, and we get 30% off coupons, or $5 off, at Borders a few times a month.

My basement/stockpile.
I've also been able to find some fabulous deals on line for my DS's. For DH, a Steelers store.

My stockpile too. I also order Scholastic for our homeschool group and just cashed in some of my points for the game banangrams and a Magic School Bus magic kit that I will give one of my kids. I have another order before Christmas that parents will make and hope to get a few more things. I have books put up for their stockings, dd is the only one I am short on. I don't really spend a lot on my kids, they just don't need anything and are getting older so it's harder to buy for them. We sometimes do a bigger gift, x-box, what not, but there's nothing we need this year.

Same as Nerdy
I bought lots of stuff after xmas (mostly at cvs-bath robes for $3, body butters/fragrance .50, etc). We have enough in stockpile to make some killer gift bags for the men & women. So glad too, since Dh is the only one here with a regular paycheck. I am only working 1 day a week right now, and that doesn't go very far .
