Christmas Shopping

[sam]

Has anyone done their Christmas shopping yet or do you prefer to wait until nearer Christmas to get it all?

[mccaugm]

Started on the first of September and am 99% there..just a few things for my bairns...all family stuff done...I even have the wrapping paper sorted....does that make :lol:me organised or neurotic?

[sam]

lol mine are wrapped and out of the way of prying little eyes :eek:

[lady penelope]

I thought Santa delivered all the pressies on Christmas Eve :confused

[sam]

I'm just one of santa's little helpers lol that wraps the prezzies;)

I'm behind this year I normally start buying around June, think I'll be doing a lot of online shopping this year, not even sure who's getting what as a rule it's all written down and then marked off as I buy it.

Im terrible my christmas shopping starts in the january sales ive got a few bargins so wont have to spend so much nearer the time.:D

[Mik.M.]

Have just started christmas shopping, bit late this year, usually start in June/July but moveing house sort of took over.

I have a few things -- usually in October I start paying a little more attention to the offers online and on the home shopping networks but I will be out in the mall a lot during the two weeks before Christmas. The longer I wait, the better the price.

Oh dear, and to think I've not even started yet :(

Haha well, I usually tend to think the best presents I give are the little things I see in shops which remind me of a certain friend :) They're quirky and although it's stressful leaving my shopping to chance, everyone seems to be happy!

I like to buy things when I see something I know someone would like so always have a little stash of things. For instance the children's stocking things are collected throughout the year - somethings are just tiny or bought on our holidays stuff like that. Love shopping for presents - it's great to see the recipient's smile when I've got it right!

HAVE GOT MOST OF MINE STARTED LAST MONTH, WITH THE EXCEPTION OF SOME BABY CLOTHES THAT i HAVE BEEN BUYING AND AM SENDING TO MY GRANDDAUGHTER FOR XMAS.....HAVE ALSO BOUGHT SMALL XMAS TREE AND PLANTED IN THE GARDEN.....

[nanoo]

Going to start mine this weekend, usually order things on line so it's not a hassle for me anyway, still theres always something i forget and i'll be running around on Christmas eve as usual. Wish me luck orgers and very well done to those of you who are organised.:roll:

[paris]

With all my family bits going on I've actually forgotten Santa's due soon. Oh well i must start this weekend......me i hate shopping presents/food/household, what ever i just hate it and always have . Jan xx

[Thumper]

I USED to be very organised and would have it all bought by now but after a couple of bad christmases i have kind lost the festive spirit :( I will make sure the kids all get nice prezzie's and get my Mum etc but I just can't seem to get off my tail and get started x

Not bought anything yet - Christmas Eve is soon enough for that malarky.
Find it very off putting to see all the Christmas stuff in shops in September/October when we haven't even had Hallowe'en yet.

[ashaw1]

It's the internet for me this year. I really can't stand all that pushing and shoving down the aisles. Infront of my monitor with a cuppa and a choccy biccy.

[floyed]

I have started mine and only have a few more things to get. I like to have mine done early i left it to the last minutes one year and ended up just getting people anything, there was no thought put into the pressies. I buy a little something every week starting after the summer holidays:D

[henry20]

I have a lot of mine ........ and everything that I've bought has already been wrapped. There are a couple of things I've ordered that won't arrive until nearer the time and I've to try and wangle a day off to get the rest - and point OH in the direction of what I want ;)

[porshiepoo]

It's normally a last minute thing for me a week before christmas but I have a friend who's moved up and she is sooooooooooo organised when it comes to christmas that it has rubbed off on me. :) I now have 80% of all pressie shopping done and am even planning the decoration stage soon. Yay!!!!

I luuuuuuuuuuuuuv crimbo.

[Ricco]

My dawg! Is it Christmas already!!? Good grief - I had better get shifting. (just kidding)

I haven't started yet - usually leave it until early December but I may break with habit and get started this week.

[lady penelope]

Aaaaah! Only a few weeks till Christmas. The shops will be empty!:eek:

Only joking. I go with a list and spend a day or two shopping. I think birthdays are far more important.:D

[mccaugm]

:D61 days to go.....cannot wait.....:lol:

[botheed]

i hate xmas, i look fot it like a turkey does:eek:

[Oddquine]

I'm not so keen on Christmas any more............mainly because I'm only allowed to present the grand-children..........and only one of them is still young enough to want things and not cash.

I used to love Christmas shopping, but I have always loathed any other kind!

[quirbal]

[dandod]

I used to love Christmas shopping, but I have always loathed any other kind!It's vice versa for me. Clothes, shoes, mmmmm x
