Christmas is just days away, and, for most of us, the jingle-jangle of pre-holiday nerves is reaching a crescendo. This is the time when even the most careful shopper can start to panic and blow some serious dough.

You've probably made mistakes like these already -- paying $12 for a tiny roll of gift wrap, spending $80 on a bread-maker for someone who will probably never take it out of the box or bringing a $60 bottle of wine as a hostess gift, only to see it immediately put out for throngs of revelers next to a bunch of $8 offerings.

We're collecting reader suggestions for the biggest money-wasters of the holiday season. We'll select the best of the blunders to run in an upcoming article. Think of it as charity: You can help others avoid the same mistake by sharing yours in the comments area below the videos.
