Let’s talk about one of my favorite topics- Christmas! Although October may not seem like the ideal time to start Christmas shopping, I love shopping year -round to get the best deals on gifts, and not have to spend a ton of money all in the month of December. Since we already established that carrying a credit card debt from month-to-month is not financially savvy, why not start your Christmas shopping early this year to avoid the last-minute urgency, and with it, sometimes unwise expenditures?
I’ve rounded up a few things for several of the people in your life. I’ll do another gift guide next week as well because I kept finding fun gift ideas! Have fun doing some early Christmas shopping.

For the little ones in your life:
A personalized book using the child’s name– {$12} What child wouldn’t love having his or her name in a book? I love this idea and a few little ones in my life just might be getting this for Christmas. *wink*
For the grandparents/aunts/uncles:
Custom slate photo- Grandma or Grandpa would love this for sure! Choose your favorite picture and have it adhered on a slate tile for only $8!
For the tween/teen girl in your life:
Monogram necklace– This is a fun necklace featuring the initials of the teen in your life. It comes in 12 colors, too! (Or adults- I love it too!) $19
For your BFF or sister-
If you can’t tell, I love monograms! This fun clutch is $24 and includes personalization!
For the man in your life:
BBQ Grill Bag/IceChest– I don’t know about you, but it is h.a.r.d. thinking of items for my dad, brothers, brother-in-law, etc. This grill bag holds grilling utensils, plus it doubles as an ice chest to keep your Cokes icy cold while grilling!
For the traveler:
A luggage scale– I know this is nothing new, but it’s ingenious! I can’t tell you how annoying it is to get to the airport and have to shuffle around stuff in the luggage so that all the bags weigh the right amount. This gadget would definitely fix that problem!
Do you shop year-long too or are you a last-minute shopper? 🙂

Buying presents for guys is so much harder! Especially when they’re older and already have pretty much any piece of equipment or tool imaginable. I think I finally decided to just go with a restaurant gift card for my FIL
