Christmas shopping
 

Anyone else started their Christmas shopping? I've now bought severel specific item that my daughters been asking for. Early I know but last year I was rushing round like a lunatic all the shops had sold out, didn't want to go through that again, saying that, knowing me I'll leave it now till the week before then rush round like a looney again!:rolleyes:

Re: Christmas shopping
 

I know, I hadn't a couple of weeks ago but it'll be here before you know it, best to be prepared I thought!

Re: Christmas shopping

But Christmas allways ends up with a mad rush.
No matter how early or late in the year I start.

Re: Christmas shopping

Re: Christmas shopping

Re: Christmas shopping

Re: Christmas shopping

Re: Christmas shopping
 

The thought of Christmas I find v depressing, I refuse to do anything towards it until at least December, then that's too early as well. Bah humbug!

Re: Christmas shopping
 

No, Christmas Eve is quite soon enough for me to start Christmas shopping!


Any idea what the must have present is going to be this year yet?

You know the one there will be a shortage of, and that some parents will drive hundreds of miles to try and secure for the brainwashed little darlings, and in some cases scrap for. One year it was Teletubbies, and then it was Thunder Bird's Tracey Island.

Ah, the power of marketing.;)

Re: Christmas shopping

Re: Christmas shopping

Re: Christmas shopping
 

Late night shopping don't forget most supermarkets now 24/6 (thay have to close on the Sat night so that they can open for 6 hours on Sundays)

Bliddy heck best start looking for a good gift soonnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn!!!

Re: Christmas shopping
 

I have bought a grand total of 2 pressies so far. I do have all of my cards and wrapping paper, which I bought in the January sales...:D I had better get some serious shopping done..

Re: Christmas shopping
 

Done most of mine now ..only the food to get now and my parents and thats it.

Re: Christmas shopping
 

And I've proudly not done any yet, and shan't until December, so there.

Re: Christmas shopping
 

Blimey thats good going, I'm aiming to have finished the pressi buying before December, better pull my finger out then!:banhat:

Re: Christmas shopping
 

not even started looking, its easier & lazier to put money in a personalized christmas card.............. i think anyway. cos thats what i started doing a couple of years ago.

Re: Christmas shopping
 

Believe it or not i started in August.A pressie here and one there it all adds up for the day in question and actually it works out a lot cheaper in the long run as i have seen that the same things have gone up a few quid as December closes.

Re: Christmas shopping
 

Meant to be going Christmas shopping with my daughter Wednesday afternoon. Hope to get everyone apart from the kids. Get them around the end of November, because no doubt they will change their mind if i get there's any sooner.

Re: Christmas shopping
 

Decided to start in the middle of next month so for the first time in years I am ready well (fingers crossed) :rolleyes:

Re: Christmas shopping
 

As for Xmas cards well we have to get them sent by the end of november to make sure they get over there by Xmas

Re: Christmas shopping
 

I've got all the stocking fillers so after little'un goes back to school on monday I will get the bigger ones. Trouble is he's only asked for some new matchbox cars & a bike!

Re: Christmas shopping
 

They never stop do they?

Re: Christmas shopping
 

Well done the majority of it today, just the kids to get now. If it's raining tomorrow, think i shall write my cards.

Re: Christmas shopping
 

Well if it is going that smoothley I will send you my list. :D

Re: Christmas shopping
 

Don't send me your list spuggiej. Has you can see the sun is shinning, so the cards won't be written today.

Re: Christmas shopping
 

Well i have finally finished my christmas shopping today, even wrapped em. Just a few bits to pick up along the way now. I find christmas is far too stressful and now i can say i will have plenty of time to relax and not run round like a headless chicken.

Re: Christmas shopping
