HOW DO YOU............ Christmas shop with 3 kids???

I have got 3 kids at home 24/7. I am finding it IMPOSSIBLE to do our xmas shopping on the sly without the kids working out what is going on.

We havn't got any family close and DH works long hours.

Our motto this year is "If it can't be bought online or off ebay, it aint under the christmas tree this year."

I don't really think this is saving us any money (not that I thought it would). It's more the convenience. In a perfect world I'd prefer to be out trawling the sales in-store.

How about you?

not sure of yur childrens ages but what about one day in occasional care so you can sprawl the shops for all the bargains or a child swap with a friend u watch theirs they watch yours sort of thing.

they are just a couple of ideas ill prob need to use these options next yr wen my DS will be 2.5 yrs he is already cluey

good luck

I read in the paper last week something about myer having a scanner system where you walk around with a little scanner, scan the stuff you want, pay for it and it gets gift wrapped and delivered to your home.
That way parents can take kids along and sneakily scan something.
It said something about $25 cost not sure if thats total cost of the service of if delivery area applies.
