Christmas Presents
 

I have recently bought a couple of presents for family members in the New Look sale the other week and wondered if this was a bit too early to already start my xmas shopping.

Just thought I'd be nosy and ask you guys a few questions.

• When do you start buying Christmas presents?
• How many people do you usually buy for?
• Which members of your family do you buy presents for?

I usually start buying a few stocking fillers in September/October.
Normally buy presents for my mum/dad, 2 sisters and grandparents. Don't bother with aunts/uncles/cousins and don't have any nieces/nephews.

1. Literally start buying like the week before usually, last year I got all my presents on Christmas Eve
2. Don't buy for friends because we all agreed it's just a waste of money cos we just buy each other tat as we don't have enough to buy nice presents for all of us, so just family
3. My mum, my mum's partner and my nan (I'll be buying for my baby cousin too this year)

1. The month of December usuaally
2. Hm quite a few? Last year I bought a present for my mum, my sister, and about seven for friends. Nothing big, just chocolates, since I'm unemployed :skull:
3. Just my mum and my sister. My stepdad and I have never spoke (idu how i think he doesn't like me?) and we live away from my family. I think I owe the rest of my family like, seven years of Christmas gifts

I buy stuff all the year. I have an insane amount of presents to buy every year because I buy Christmas presents and Hanukkah presents for my three nieces. They each get a present on each of the eight nights of Hanukkah so that's 24 presents before I even think about Christmas....

I usually start buying Christmas presents in the week of Christmas. I usually buy for my friends, parents and sister which is about 10/11 people overall.

This year I'm going to start my shopping this month/next month so I don't have a mad rush at Christmas.

I started this week.
My first Christmas present was a gift for myself. (a tradition every Xmas and birthday). A new iPad pro for upstairs, I won't be waiting until Xmas to use it though.:joker:

We don't buy many now, just the two kids and their other half.
Aunt Mary and then wine for a few friends and neighbours.
Kids normally let us know what they would like and then they get a little surprise from Santa on top.

Normally start about October. I have about 16 to buy for which is mostly family and a couple of friends.

I start buying pressies soon as the january sales kick in :) I start with wrapping paper (which straight after crimbo is often 10-50p) lol throughout the year i spot things I know my loved ones would like and buy them when they are a bargain price :) .. never too early to start xmas shopping :)

I normally start buying really early in the year and am finished before November, but this year i'm saving for our Wedding so haven't started yet.

It's never too early though..

You get that wrapped and ready for under the tree Missy :nono:

Normally when they start getting in the gift boxes in Tesco I start shopping. Mid-November?

I get it all done within a week so I don't have to be arsed fretting over the holiday.

:laugh::laugh:I like the colour better than my other one so I am on it now downstairs, other one is upstairs.
I spend a lot of time in my bedroom so I needed to use it now ( well that's my excuse). Hubby keeps asking to borrow mine when I am busy chatting on it so now he can nip upstairs for the other one instead and leave me in peace.

I usually start in the last week of November but I'm planning on starting the beginning of September this year to try and save myself any money worries and stress.I have a three year old and 6 other family members to buy for .

for one day at the end of December?

lol

i find that astonishingly I can manage to get all of mine in December

a christmas miracle, i know
