Summer does not feel like the right time to shop for Christmas, but August is only a few months away from the holidays.
Aside from picking stuff up from sales, my main christmas presents are boardgames and books.
Books are a dime a dozen (actually 50 cents a pop at the local library) so I got plenty of those ready for the holidays, but we do have limited shelf space so I need to be careful with my game purchases.
It seems that I need to do a purge of my wishlist on boardgamegeek, but more importantly, I need to rank my games by age, so I can buy the appropriate games at the right time.
That is still easy while the kids are young, but once they hit the 10+ range, the whole world of gaming opens up to them. At that time, I just need to be judicious.
Not an easy thing in this hobby.
Or maybe it will be easier because honestly, my whole collection is geared to big kids, so I really don’t have to buy anything at that point.
Then again, I don’t “have to” anything at this point either.
