Went up the shopping centre last night (in Milton Keynes - fab shopping centre :) ) and got about another 6 or 7 presents.

Worked out I have 10 more presents to buy now, so getting there.

Going up again on Friday evening with my lovely Mummy to try and get these last 10 pressies.

And then the wrapping can commence!
 
eeek! i've not started yet...

only have to buy for

mum + stocking
sister and her boyf
and 4 friends

have loads of cousins n stuff but that's dealt with by the adults... they all put the same amount of money in the kitty and each kid gets the same spent on them (there are 12 of us... so.... )

going to DLRP next week so i was holding out to get some extra special stuff there!

blinkin eck!

usually i'd have more... but there's some people i don't see as much anymore (no longer in that job)... and there's getting little things for friends' kids and stuff... but id' buy them stuff any time i went to DLRP

but this year and last me and my bestest bud have gone to DLRP early december and decided not to buy pressies for each other!
 

I'm totally finished, thank goodness. My pressies are wrapped and bagged up ready to give out before we go on holiday. I don't even have to worry about Christmas dinner this year, so I am very happy :)
 
I thought I'd finished all mine and then realised I ought to get something for my ex-MIL and her DH (who my DDs live with). Struggling as to what to get them though :confused3

My problem is, every time I go shopping I keep buying more and more stuff for the kids - I can't seem to stop myself :guilty:
 
All done, and wrapped - and christmas cards written ! :cool1:

Im normally not this organised, but having a new bathroom fitted next weekend, and it could plummet into chaos, with lots of dust and mess. So all the xmas stuff will go downstairs and covered up.

Me too Mandy, isn't it lovely. It just feels a bit strange not having to buy any christmas food and drink etc because we won't be here to eat it. I've usually got cupboards full by now. I'm now getting toiletries and holiday stuff ready. Only three weeks to go :Pinkbounc
 
All bought just need to wrap them which I am doing on Saturday ;)
 
Mum - WDW Lithograph (maybe)

Sister – Depeche Mode clock, t-shirt, mug, badges, remix alb - bought (there's loads cos I get it free from work!!!!!)

BIL - ??? (he's always my hardest person to buy for)

Neice (3) - Disney dressing gown - bought but need some extra bits and bobs for her

Auntie - Oil of Evening Primrose Jug Set from Boots

Scott - Got him somethingsmall but can't post here as he comes on sometimes, no idea for his main pressie!

Scott's Mum - Oil of Olay Gift Set

Scott's Dad - Spectromagic pin - bought (he spotted mine when he came over and loved it so I found one on ebay)

Scott's Sister & her new Hubby - Wedding Scrapbook (taking forever to finish!)

5 Friends - no ideas, not even sure if we're doing pressies this year

Cats - Whiskers stocking to share

Mum's Dog - Schmakos treats - bought
 
I am done and wrapped!

DF still needs to confirm what he wants to get his parents and possibly his Gran but as they are his side of the family, ultimately their presents are his responsibility :teeth:

:flower:

I only have to buy two family presents and three secret santa presents for DH and I at work. I always wrap as I buy so that's up together as well.
 
I thought I was finished but I bought another present last night :rolleyes:
 
Despite saying I wouldn't start Christmas shopping until December, I've bought most of my sister's presents already (she's quite easy to buy for!) and one thing for my mum. My girlfriend and I usually go a bit mad as we have stockings and then "main" presents, so I've hardly started with her stuff! Luckily I only have three people to buy for (plus a hamster) and none of them are blokes, which makes things a LOT easier! :)
 
I have just wrapped up my last present until DH sees something else for DD wouldn't mind but he never wraps a thing!!!
