Actually, that's smart.
I started a Christmas Club at the bank last year (late, but better late than never) and have like $965 to spend for Christmas (of course I'll probably pass that, but it's nice not to have to worry about it at the last minute).
I cashed in a bunch of savings bonds this year that I've had since I was a kid. They reach maturity in 7 years (I think), but they continue to receive interest for 20-30 years after that. There's a website that you can check out that will let you track the value. I think it's savingsbondguru.com but I'm not sure.
And I buy 3 Hess trucks every year. One for my son to play with, one that goes right up in the attic and the other for the boyfriend. This year I haven't gotten any.
