Thinking about them lately, curious if I'm late or early

"Get" as in buy/make them for others or "get" as in receive them?

US based, for context. I have a large family spread all over the place. We do a Secret Santa drawing, where each person gets another's name and buys them their gift. So everyone gets one nicer gift instead of lots of little stuff.

We get our names and start buying around now so we can take advantage of Black Friday sales. People start receiving their gifts in the mail from early December through the holidays.

For non-family, non-Secret Santa, this is also the time I start buying gifts. I keep a note on my phone through the year for gift ideas, so it's usually pretty easy come November to buy for people.

Buy them, rephrased the title for clarification
