Christmas Shopping

[spathiphyllum]

Pretty much done all my Christmas shopping for this year.

I usually leave it late but this year I decided I'd get it all done early.

I'm thankful because it means I'll have more money around the December time which is when I need it more.

Is it too early? Or am I well prepared?

Done mine too Spath give or take a few odds and ***

[spathiphyllum]

Yes me too. I have a couple of Yankee candles to buy but i'm waiting until the supermarkets (It's usually Tesco or Sainsburys) to start selling them 2 for 1.

I've never bought a christmas present before halloween before. It's very relaxing I won't lie.

Very sensible! :-)
( not like me)

Mmmm.

[ummmm]

I don't do any xmas shopping. Haven't done for years. I'll stick in a few extras in my food shopping but that's about it.

While I'm quite envious couldn't possibly do it this early. If I did I know nearer the time I might change my mind and especially think I should get them something else on top.

mine is pretty much done too. I started in the summer this year.

It’s a lot easier now Prudie,grandson is 15.5 so it’s money for him rather than looking for the in toy of the year , we don’t buy for many,I say ‘we’ OH just buys one and that’s usually some ing I’d like, this year it’s an Apple watch

I haven't and cannot even think about Xmas shopping.

[ummmm]

That's the way to do it, ael. OH used to buy for his parents but they've moved back to Ireland.

Done bits and bobs, but not a lot. Will have a look round the shops for some more stuff when I'm in town later on today.

I only have my daughter to buy for. She and her partner are moving into their first non rental in a matter of days. (exchanging today, hopefully) They have no bed or other furniture. So I will most likely give money towards that...plus a few small bits for her to open.

I use to like cash but i'd always spend it on crap or food.. This year i've ask'd for actual items or gift cards so i'm forced to buy clothes. I need some new tshirts and hoodies especially now winter is upon us.

[ummmm]

My kids put it towards their holiday funds.

[emmie]

well prepared i guess. I don't like this time of year particularly, Minty and I share our birthdays on 25th
so it means another year older, sigh...

When shopping in Fleetwood always wear a Mac....

[Bobbisox1]

On Xmas day Emmie?

[spathiphyllum]

I'm not a massive fan of this time of year, gets cold dark wet and there are leaves everywhere. Work goes down hill also as people care less about the garden. Also financially it's a burden with christmas and all.

Anyway.. when you're all christmas shopping, just think, that damn spath has already done his, lucky sod.

[NellieMay]

Same as hmmmm. We don't do Christmas. We just sit back and relax whilst the world rushes round. No more stress. We do have a really nice meal. Son and wife and dog take a tent and a picnic down to the coast for the day.
