How much will you spend?

December 3rd, 2007 by Tina Silva

I was reading an article from the Toronto Star where it says that most Canadians will spend over $700 for gifts this holiday season. What a huge number that is! But when you start thinking about electronics, the majority of them are over $100 each, so I can see where that number comes from.

The article also says that over 70% of those surveyed will be getting their holiday gifts at Walmart. I guess I’m included there. A little more than half the gifts I got were indeed from Walmart. The rest was from shopping online at Ebay.ca and from my favourite store Futureshop.ca.

I have just been thinking about the amount I have spent so far. Let me calculate and give a rough estimate. I have estimated that I will be spending around $450 this holiday season. That’s not bad at all. Most of that money is from money I made online in which I say thanks to those companies I work with. It’s great having that extra cash to spend especially during the holiday season.

So how much have you estimated you’ll be spending this Christmas?

Going Christmas Shopping

November 26th, 2007 by Tina Silva

I’m planning to go Christmas shopping later in the evening. I have a few more gifts to buy people in my family. I’m trying to focus on getting something for my parents, dog, and one of my sisters. Then I got some other gifts to get which will come soon.

I hate going shopping during the Christmas season. It’s just way too busy for me. No matter where you turn, you end up bumping into someone. Plus, half the stuff you want isn’t even available. I can’t wait until the holiday season is over.

There’s only one day I’m really looking forward to and that is Boxng Day. Even though the stores will be really crowded on that day, I’ll be happy because everything is on sale. LOL!

Got some xmas shopping done!

November 11th, 2007 by Tina Silva

Yes…I DID! I DID! I’m happy I got a few gifts out of the way now. I have a couple more things to buy for my sisters and then they are done. Then I have to get something for my parents and my sisters boyfriends. But…the good news is that I’m done shopping for my nephew. I got a few cute things for him. I got him two outfits, 4 books, and a cute Winnie the Pooh hat and mittens. See the photos below.
