Was browsing amazon and ordered something that I thought a family member of mine would like for christmas, so I think it's safe to say I've started my christmas shopping :nono:

Have no idea what to get my dad this year, he's so difficult to get something for because he's so boring :laugh:

Men are a nightmare to buy for. It's either socks (yawns) or something expensive :bawling:

It's either get everything all at once and spend a fortune or just buy things gradually. Might do the second one - will be a bit easier I think :tongue:

It's good you've made a start. Wish I had but no matter how many times I tell myself year in, year out, it never happens :laugh:

Im finding it hard to think of what to buy for my Niece as her birthday is near christmas aswell.

Im considering buying Jungle Junction on DVD or Micky Mouses show on Disney Junior on DVD.

Am totally skint this year though so am only buying for those close to me :( Going to a further away college so can't do the 4-6 shifts I would usually do at work when I'd walk down from school, can only do the saturdays when I start A levels in September as college doesn't even finish until 4:30. Gonna need to find another job I think, which is sad because I've been where I am for 2 years now - not bad for a 16 year old :tongue: Gonna be a struggle as am so used to having money...

Have decided what I'm gonna get my mum and step-dad for christmas now I think. Gonna talk to my brother and see what he thinks about paying half (probably wont - tight git!).

They are expecting and the baby should be here in March so I thought about getting them a digital camera, SD card and re-chargeable battery set so that they can capture all of the memories. They wouldn't think about getting it themselves because they only think about the big things (cot, buggy etc) and not the small little things but I know that they'd try and get by with the crappy camera on mums phone. Dunno what you think but would be a nice idea and should only cost me about £70 altogether - £35 if my brother pays for half.

I'm sure she will love whichever one you get her. I have loads of Nephews and Nieces to buy for.I never start until October though.

That sounds like a great idea for your Mum & Step Dads gift Lewis, I'm sure they would love it.

I will probably start buying some gifts in next month.

I never start my Christmas shopping until at least December. Dunno why, it feels wrong to do it before then.

Good point,The only other thing I can think of is clothes and aftershave and both are going to set you back by around €50
