since we bought a house 4 months ago, we have cut back. Alot of the gifts are homemade & with more focus on the kids. Also, I shop year round for sales/clearance. I am definitely my mother’s daughter!

I use swagbucks.com to search the web, watch videos, etc. I earn points everyday doing this then I trade those points in for Amazon.com gift cards! I earn about $50 a month in gift cards doing this! Plus my husband is a student so we get Amazon Prime FREE! I get brand new gifts from Amazon totally free! It’s awesome! I just got a Cars Potty Chair and 3 posters for my almost 2 year old! I’m saving them for his birthday! Retail cost, $30 + shipping, I paid nothing thanks to swagbucks and Amazon Prime!

I buy clearance thru out the year for our “gift closet”. But for Christmas, I have taken advantage of a lot of the super deals with coupon codes and other promos…. my daughter is getting spoiled ROTTEN and we’ve spent a lot LESS than usual. For that matter… everyone is being spoiled this year but we’re not spending a fortune on it!

I buy gift cards throughout the year when we have extra cash. Then when I shop I use the gift cards to buy Christmas gifts

It may be worth mentioning to your readers that Kmart is taking an additional 50% off clearance toys. I got a Spy Gear watch for 18.50, Zhu Zhu pets for 2.50, and a radio controled Hailfire Droid (reg. 59.99) for $20 at our store.
