And I take it by your comment that you don't do much of the family gift shopping? ;) Hey if it works for you, there's no problem with that!

I love lists, but try not to be too pushy since I know not everyone wants a list to work off of. ;) I admit I'm a bit jealous of the beach time you'll be enjoying!

It's a $50 gift limit, but it works well since we all get something that we want. We use Elfster and it includes a 'wish list'. We've been doing this for about 4 years now and it works really well for us. We all buy for the kids. I am a big list maker so, I keep an Amazon wish list for each of my kids if people want ideas. I also keep a 'shopping list' on Amazon for myself for when I see something I like for my kids and want to remember for the next birthday or whatever. My husband and I usually only buy stocking stuffers for each other, if that and never above $20 total. We usually get what we want throughout the year, so Christmas is more about giving to others for us. This year, since we are going to Australia, we aren't even doing that. Just enjoying our time with family, far-flung friends, and at the beach. Woo hoo! I usually make goodies for my neighbors and teachers, though this year we won't be here so not sure about that yet.
