In addition to what I bought last night online, I got all this today (online and in-store). Followed the wishlists, too.

Adam (age 5): 2 Lego Star Wars Clone Wars sets (Geez, Legos are expensive! )

Aiden (age 4 1/2): Transformers Revenge of the Fallen video game (Wii); Transformers Robot Replicas (The Fallen) (thank goodness Caz found The Fallen action figure at a San Jose Target. both on sale at Target)

Nathaniel (age 14): 1 Kallusive shirt and 1 Stussy shirt (altogether for under $25)

Olivia (soon-to-be age 13): $40 Hollister gift card (combined birthday/Christmas present since her birthday’s next week)

Elise (soon-to-be age 10): Skinny jeans and a striped hooded henley sweater from Justice (40% the whole website! also a birthday present. Her birthday’s after Christmas but taking advantage of all the sales)

Now I just need to shop for my mom’s goddaughter, my mom’s coworker’s granddaughter, and my cousin’s infant son.

I can’t wait to wrap all the gifts. I know it’s only Black Friday but I can’t wait for the kids to open their presents already! :P

I’m shopping online for all my nephew’s and niece’s Christmas gifts. My fam started up a gift exchange (for just the kids because there’s way too many of them - 17 in all) so each family gets 5 kids each.

My cousin, my auntie, and I started sabotaging the gift exchange by trading kids. Oops. My other cousin specifically made it so (1) each family didn’t have someone they had from last year’s gift exchange and (2) each family had at least 2 kids from their own clan. Oops again.

So I traded for my godson, Aiden, since I didn’t get him a birthday gift (his birthday’s in February). And I also traded for my nephew, Nathaniel, who’s 14 and the easiest to shop for, in my opinion. Mainly because it’s like shopping for Caz. And I have to add an additional kid to the mix, Taylor, who’s a Christmas birthday baby. So by default, she pretty much gets a gift from everyone. There are also a few other kids whose birthdays are coming up, like Olivia and Elise.

So here’s what I got so far:
• Taylor: 2 Wow Wow Wubbzy DVDs [I don’t know shit about this show but I picked these DVDs because I was amused that Beyonce was a guest voice actress and the other one because of the title. I’m a Beatles fan, what can I say?! Slightly discounted at B&N because of my B&N membership.]

• Nevaeh: 2 Disney Princess dolls (Princess Jasmine and Ariel, because they’re not blonde) [Regular price $25 each; got them for $10!! HELL YEAH!! She wanted anything princess-y or girly.]

• Addison: an acoustic guitar (for her birthday on the 14th; my cousin said she likes music) [$20 at Toys R Us, regular price $30]

And here’s what I got left. Some easy. Some I’m not even sure about yet.
• Adam: Still no wishlist from Amy so I’m waiting on that before I can even start looking
• Aiden: Transformers game (Wii) and something else… still a work in progress
• Nathaniel: N/A (typical high schooler, hella into clothes now… ugh)
• Olivia: Hollister gift card in a larger-than-usual amount since her birthday’s coming up next week (yuck, I hate Hollister though)
• Elise: N/A (her birthday’s coming up after Christmas)

Ok, back to shopping.
