Christmas shopping already? You bet! At garage sales and thrift stores? Oh yeah!
I do buy some things new - basically my husband and children will receive 'pre-owned' gifts. But new stuff is also available at garage sales for a fraction of retail price!
Here's what I've got so far:
For Hubby:
Books ~ $1.00
For the Kiddos:
Personalized Disney books, 1 each FREE
Thomas The Train DVD $1.00
Book - "Green Eggs and Ham" $0.50
Stocking Stuffers
New Neon Bendy Pens $0.25 ea
New Snowman Candy Bags $0.25 ea
Miscellaneous Gifts:
Blurt (pre-owned game) $5.00
New Spa Basket (lotions, salts, etc) $1.00
I know, it's a bit risky to post exactly what I plan to give people for Christmas ... but by December who's gonna remember a silly little post from 7 months before? I figure I'm pretty safe :)

I love that! I am looking forward to garage saling this year... if I can (it's hard with two kiddos... I'll be needing to use the sleepy wrap and the stroller at the same time). I love to repurpose things too! If I can refinish something, that counts as a 'new' item, so to speak! :)
