Part of my problem with even thinking about heading out to the stores for Black Friday is that I haven't really given much thought yet to what I want to buy, and for whom. With 30 shopping days left, I need to sit down and make my holiday shopping list today.
Fortunately, my fellow Parenting and Family Guides have put together various holiday shopping guides. These themed gift lists are helping me brainstorm ideas, compare prices, and even get a little online shopping done before the big rush.
