all xxx wants for Christmas is…

I decided to take time off from relaxing in our new entertainment room this evening (it was difficult esp. when hubs was enjoying himself immensely…) and spent some time in bed, armed with the laptop – to start scouring for xmas pressies ideas for my loved ones this year.

I hadn’t realized that Xmas was merely a month away and that it was high time I started coming up with my pressies list to prevent any last minute mayhem (as like previous years), where I start panicking and buying things on impulse, then rushing around which eventually leads to me accidentally leaving the presents at the store… 🙁 and spending too much time explaining to that someone at the store over the phone why it was imperative that I got hold of the present before the 25th Dec, because the store was probably going to be closed for the next 2 days…

Mayhem = bad. Order = good

The hubs and I had made it clear over last weekend that we didn’t have much of a budget for each other’s Xmas pressies this year (with the honeymoon trip) and agreed that we were going to get each other something still nice, but didn’t cost too much. [Dang! There goes the new Kate Spades and Coaches which caught my fancy recently. Grrr…]

So hooked with my new online shopping addiction (I know, I’m a late bloomer), I spent the evening visiting sites after sites for inspiration, going through back-dated eDMs from shopping websites while checking out new updates. In between, multi-tasking with the recent addition of CLEO, and checking out the gift catalog …there were too many gift ideas. No decisions. Urghhh…[though I wondered from time to time if I was shopping more for myself or for others]

After an hour of getting crossed eyed and hand crampped from the navigation, I finally knew what I was going to get the husband. No upgraded CD player I know he’s been yearning to spend on, since I got him a higher grade speakers for his birthday this year. Or a new amp for the entertainment room which we just talked about and I was making so much noise about (the older amp which actually supports laser discs!!!). Or even a playstation 3 which we’ve been joking to get each other for Xmas…for fear that we may outgrow the gaming too soon.

I hope he’ll be pleased.

🙂 ooooh I am soooo looking forward to Christmas shopping !!!
