I'm rubbish at buying presents most of the time. I'm really easy to buy for,anything thats pink,sparkly or that has a heat recommendation on it and I'm happy.

[pinkmichk]

i am starting next week as well but only cos i am doing totally homemade presents

[Locke.]

I've never bought anyone a christmas present before, I guess I should start this year as I'm earning money now?

[Fom]

Gonna get my mum a mini fridge and a water dispenser for her bedroom as she cant leave her bed some days and her last fridge broke.

Dunno about anyone else tbh...

Woah, that's really nice to see!
A friend of mine does homemade presents, she's fantastic with all that sorta stuff.
A rarity nowadays.

I'm terrible at buying presents.
I usually join with someone else who has more idea so we can get something better.

As for myself; I'm easy to buy for.

[SiaSiaSia]

My sister: Coldplay piano book.

the rest: uhm.

Another reason I start early is because I RULE at buying the perfect xmas gifts. I'm renound for it in my family! So I can't afford to wait, I could lose me reputation as Xmas Present Ass Kicker!:joker:
