99% sure I’ve already got my gift picked out for my match. They may be opening Christmas presents by Thanksgiving…

I spent two and half hours last night on Etsy/red bubble and other similar sites. Narrowed it down from 100 potential gift options to 20 options.

Gonna spend even more time today on my company’s dime doing more research.

I was thinking the same thing this morning. What is the general consensus on how early is too early?

Buy and hold the gift but wait to ship until 12/1…

I’m honestly just glad that I already have my wife’s gift purchased this year so that she doesn’t get mad when my person’s gift show up and she asks why I bought their stuff so early. (I too have mine fairly well picked out and am resisting the urge to just pull the trigger immediately).

I’m probably just gonna hold off and wait a few weeks to purchase. I’ll send my gift directly from where I get it, so if I’ve got it picked out no real rush.

I’ve never been involved. But watch. I think the play is too wait til 1/1. Isn’t it better if everyone is talking about you? Hehe. I’m only here for the stiffs and late sends for the roasting.

I’ll save my Secret Santa the effort here since my account is private - my IG is boring as hell (very few posts and those are focused on the kiddo). I’m at the age/(im)maturity level where I have a few friends in a group chat on IG and we just send memes to each other.

Guilty here, too. I’m mostly a Twitter consumer - not a lot of posting, except for the random shit post / rant into the void / something I think is funny that gets the same 3 likes each time from the same 3 people.

My posting history on this board is about all the insight one would need on me, I think - I’m here way too often and the paywall gives a sense of privacy to allow some of the shit takes to really flow (especially in the CFB thread).

Have I started Christmas shopping for any of my family or friends? Absolutely not

Have I already ordered the gift for secret Santa? Absolutely

One of the best parts about Secret Santa is discovering threads you never knew existed or had just never read…and getting completely sucked in.

You’re not alone. After shipping on my gift last year was delayed several weeks, I didn’t want the headache. First part of the gift has already been purchased.

My person has interests of which I know absolutely nothing about so I’m also getting quite the education while down this research rabbit hole.

I hope whoever has you asks me for ideas…

I definitely got accused by my wife of putting more effort into my Refuge Secret Santa gift than shopping for my family.
