Who buys the christmas presents?

[fairycakes69]

That time of year again. If it was left to the males in my house no-one would get a present, yet the women in the house are stressing already over what to buy everyone. Is it just our household or do the women in general do all the shopping, I wish I could be more like the males life would be so much easier.

we are doing a secret santa this year really cant face shopping for christmas at least this way we will only be buying one pressy each.

[boxtops]

I do. We are only buying for the under 18s this year.

[yelenots]

I do too - glad my children are older now! Much easier, they just want money!!

[gingejbee]

........assuming all households have males and females, of course.

[beejaybee]

Nobody. Don`t buy Xmas pressies.

[ummmm]

No one....I'll get OH and kids a gift to open in the morning. Everyone else gets money.

[Bobbisox]

[ummmm]

One year my Uncle got everyone an electric can opener...the next year it was knife sharpeners...lol

Mrs bear and I go out together into town and blitz the lot in one go........we have already started though and got 'nicnaks' and fillers for the children ( larger prezzies to be bought yet, as they all just made up a christmas list this week ).... also some bought already for neighbours, teachers, teaching assistants and friends............we are looking at blitzing this weekend or next weekend, if we can...........so we'll be finished.
We have a large family on both sides.

I write all the christmas cards out every year, and start early ( next week probably ) as i have hundreds to write out.

I'm getting the routine stuff mostly online then Redman and I are going shopping for the nice extras

[boxtops]

I do the Christmas cards - I thought I'd finished, but we've found a few more people! We've cut right down on gifts this year, only for the under-18s, and we're all but done, we tend to buy during the year as we see suitable things.

I buy them all except DH's but DH funds

It's always left up to me. This year the cards are all written and stamped and they'll be posted on Dec 1st. The presents are all bought and wrapped and ready to be given out. The tree is decorated and ready to be switched on on Dec 1st. Just the food to buy nearer the time. I know I know... I'm organised, boring old phart that I am.
