Default Christmas Shopping...
When do get your start getting Christmas shopping in? I don't mean food shopping obviously but gifts for others...

I'm about half way done although it's all the bigger stuff I still need to get, I'm only buying toys and clothes for my younger nieces and nephews this year too and the rest of them are just getting money and either a selection box/gift set so that's less hunting around for toys.

It's brutal isn't it

I'm the same with my OH's dad, I feel as if we always get him a bottle of whiskey, gift set (lynx etc) and either a playstation game or a foo fighters album.

My dad loved his present last year, it's the first time i've thought outside the box and got him something other than a Lynx gift set (It was an Alien boxset with all the Alien movies, which he loves)

I usually start around the weekend in mid-November. So in about 3 weeks time I'll probably start - the 14th/15th of November.
