When do you start and finish Christmas shopping?
 

When do you start and finish Christmas shopping?

I probably snoop around the shops and that in November.. I mean.. I need to purchase my advent calendar before 1st December!

I don't need to buy many presents for people. I think I finish Christmas shopping.. maybe a few days before Christmas Day?? Mmmmm..

What about you?

I normally do it waaay in advance

Already done a little bit ;D

^^^^^^

Ooooooo.

Will probably start Christmas shopping next week or something, and I can't be bothered really to look for any presents this year. People can just get them for me. :love:

And normally finish a few days before Christmas, it's always really hard to find the right things. D:

I have 8 Nephews & Nieces who always want mobiles, ipods, ps games etc so I start early and get all the big stuff in for them first then get everyone elses, I have already started this years and will probably still be running around getting bits in on Christmas eve.

Got my nephews and Niece their gifts, getting my brother his tomorrow and my sisters on saturday, will hopefully be finished by 2 weeks time.

Woah.

We're so similar these days :shocked:

Normally leave it way too late and end up getting everything in one quick shop on the 22nd or something like that. I only have 5 presents to get normally so it's not that bad.

I dont really care whether people like the gift I get them either, so I just tend to think anything will do, as long as it's cheap :laugh:

I don't start thinking about Christmas shopping until late November.

I actually buy stuff around December. I tend to procrastinate and have to do all the shopping in one hit on one Saturday lol :/

I know a lad who buys all his Xmas presents during the New Year sales and holds on to them for the next one.

:shocked: Wow.

Talk about planning ahead! :joker:

Ah, he's just a cheapskate, but it does make sense really, doesn't it?

Yeah I guess but I couldn't buy all my gifts for people in new year - it would be weird. Oh and the crowds because of the sales are a nightmare, I can't stand it lol. :conf2:

My friend's birthday is in January.. so if I get something for Christmas I don't want.. I give that present to her for her birthday! Lol instead of spending money!

I do think though!! I don't just give her a random present to get rid of it. I think if she actually likes it first.

Therefore.. to all of you who was born in January.. I reckon some of your birthday presents will be someone's recycled Christmas present! :hugesmile:

Ah sure it's always busy in the shops leading up to Xmas anyway - well, with the recession still upon us it'll be interesting to see the sales figures afterwards.

I'd hate to have a bday in the months after Xmas. I'm a summer baby which means that it's more spread out for me.

I used to sell all of my gift cards and vouchers to my mum who'd then give them to people for their birthdays and I'd just have cash .

If I did that, half way round the year I'd just have the stuff I bought then end up having to buy more presents.

Usually get it all done mid-November...the latest I've ever left a present was 22nd December, and I felt panicked then. :P

Lol I have done that as well!

I would keep the voucher if it was for a shop I actually shop in!

I don't shop in M&S! :hugesmile:

Try the night of Christmas Eve and forgetting one of your most important presents. I drove EVERYWHERE just looking for an open shop, eventually found an Argos near the city centre at about 10pm (closed at 11) and it was rammed

So last year I did it all in November

I think Chanelle Hayes has done some Christmas shopping already!!! :shocked:
