I am done with the exception of Christmas Eve Boxes (pajamas, popcorn, cocoa, and a book) for my kids and my 3 nieces and my nephew. Not sure what to put in Christmas Eve box for my nephew - he's only 3 months old! Pajamas and a book or two for sure.

Christmas Eve boxes sound awesome!
 
I'm pretty close... closer than I've been at this point in years! I placed a massive amazon order on Monday and those brown boxes start arriving today!! The church we go to here in Chicago is right on Michigan Avenue and the kids have an hour of choir after we're out of service, so my husband and I knocked out a bunch of stuff Sunday at Water Tower too.
 
I am so impressed that you all are done!!! I am also impressed that I actually started my shopping already! LOL! But it's pretty easy to shop for my baby niece and I actually found some nice stuff for my mom & sis at the Renegade Fair last weekend. I usually just buy stuff for myself when I go! LOL! :)
 
I bought baby girl her gift. You KNOW I'll be buying her more. Little boy is so young, so not much needed. Rick and I are going up to Seattle dec 11-16 to celebrate his bday (going to a Seahawks game vs 49'ers) so we'll probably do shopping for the boys downtown. It was one of our favorite things to do when we lived up there and is so much fun when it's all decked out for Christmas! Im ordering myself a MacBook Pro today, so no one needs to get me anything! I've never ever been done early! Why start now!!
 
I started today!! I bought 3 book for Jason and have to return one because he already has it!!
 
I usually do a lot of online shopping but with our crazy weather, I'm afraid I might have to ...gasp...go to a brick and mortar store!
 
I did most of it in October. Woowoo! This is only my second year not coming down to the wire and I loved it so much I started even earlier this year.

Most of our gifts come in brown boxes with smiles on the side, too. ;)

Mostly amazon, ornaments every year from Bronners.com (I grew up going to the actual store every fall), and then some bits and bobs. I ordered new shoes for the boys for Christmas from Pedipeds last night and so the only things I have left are a family board game we still haven't decided on and cookies for everyone!
 
I do both, shopping online and in the stores, but not at the last moment, liked to have my gifts in the house early ;-)
 
We do not have too many to buy for - just our son, DIL and granddaughter. That's not to say that our granddaughter isn't getting A LOT :giggle. I have most everything purchased - and, I bought most of it @ Amazon too!
 
Mostly done - phew, even my husband has done some christmas shopping and he never shops! Love the internet - my kids are all nerds (in the nicest possible way!) so Think Geek was the winner for us this year!
 
We did a "house" gift, and bought new furniture last weekend. We'll do some small stuff for each other, and I have 90% of that in my Amazon cart right now, so I am super close to being done!
