Do you know everything you are getting for Christmas?
Or is everything a surprise to you
Or even do you know some but still get some surprises...

First year ever I am totally clueless as to what I am getting.
I have dropped hints for an iPad pro...but not a clue if it will arrive under the tree or not.
Stuck for ideas for my Xmas list this year, the kids go mad as it means they have to rack their brains. Hoping for a magazine subscription from each of them for starters. I am quite boring to buy for to be fair.
Daughter is good at gift finding and son is hopeless..no doubt she will be helping him.
Our perfect Christmas gift came early, our daughter was at the hospital this morning and has been told that the worrying lump she has is only a cyst...she is now on her way home up North for an early Xmas, so it doesn't really get any better than that.

That's great news Smudge must be a huge weight off your mind

Few things i've told my mum i'd like which she'll probably get but she usually gets a few other bits that i won't be expecting which is always good. And then i've got no idea what any of my friends have got me so thats always a bit exciting Josy.

Yes, I can't even begin to explain the worry hubby and I have had this last fortnight or so, trying to be upbeat about it to her and saying everything will be fine when deep down we had no idea of the outcome.
Hopefully we will all sleep better tonight...best Christmas present ever.

I give a list out of ideas of things people could get me because I'm really hard to buy for apparently.

Haven't asked for anything this year, everything I've wanted throughout the year I've just bought myself so there's nothing left really. I'm sure my mum will find something though.

I have a pretty solid idea of what I'm getting off my mum but it's not been confirmed. My Aunties have told me what they're getting me and both my nans are just giving me money.

Thank you God..you must have listened to my prayers :love:
You gave a fantastic Christmas too Benjamin.xx
I've asked for an Xbox but other than that idk what else I'm getting
(oh and I asked for one of those massive tubes of Jaffa cakes to be put in my stocking just because)
...sometimes I have a list because I'm asked for a list but I usually just say surprise me so mostly don't know what I'll get..I'm generally the worst receiver of gifts ever and hate that anyone spends money on me, home made stuff is the best...

I know that my boyfriend got me new earphones and my sister sent me a little package with a developed pic of my niece/goddaughter and some snacks etc.. My sister and brother are also sending me sweets and stuff.
My mother is very thoughtfully sending me a replacement of the toy I used for comfort as a child, lost it in a housefire in 3008. :sad: I can't believe she got it for me!
Then there's presents from my boyfriends family that I have no clue about, I just know there's more than three things :shrug:

I have asked for a wife but as I am fussy - she better come with a receipt as I will return it.

Do you know everything you are getting for Christmas?

Or even do you know some but still get some surprises...
I've dropped a few hints so I have an idea about a few. I also looked on my husbands purchased ebay items :hehe: and so I know one present for sure...unless...no, no that doesn't bare thinking about :nono:
I like surprises but I'm afflicted with negative persuasion. The more I tell myself not to peep, the more tempted I am to take a wee look.

i hate surprises and presents and tell people not to bother as there is nowt that I want. which is true. I am not being horrible but for me presents are for children not adults
that said I have got my mum tons of stuff

I genuinely don't know anything I'm getting (well other than chocolate coins in my stocking, it's been like that since I was 1, so why change the tradition now)

Well, part of my mums was my room decorated and that took place in November so yeah.
I've also think I might be getting a coat from various people.
And my dad got me loads of clothes and he made me pick me them, so I know.
And there's loads of various presents from my mum etc. which I have no idea what they are.
It will most likely be aftershave, and possibly the odd top.

I know most of what i'm getting, hubby has bought me some roller skates, retro blue and yellow ones like i had when i was younger:hee:

I don't mind not knowing, but I do get worried that I'd get something that I do not like, so in that respect I'd rather have a little bit of a heads up.

My laptop was my main present and I know of an after shave I'm getting, but if there's anything else (and I have seen some wrapped) then it's unknown to me. Plus anything that comes from my siblings are surprises (I think!)
Unfortunately I know what a certain someone on here got me already because I'm impatient.

I'm sure there's not a gift in the world to beat that. Hope you all have a wonderful Christmas together x
I have no idea what I'm getting. But I've been very good this year...

I'm getting myself some Video Games as usual.
But I'm also planning on buying myself a Pure Tone DeLuxe Soprano Ukulele as Max Stone off The X Factor got me interested in the Instrument.
