Usually start mine about 2 days before christmas, more people to buy for this year though so will probably start earlier.

Get a 20% discount at work aswell so most people will be getting perfume off me I think.

For the missus how about a Pamper Day, Body Shop goodies, sexy lingerie or a bit of bling (diamonds are a girl's best friend).

For the parents - a hamper of all their favourite food and drink - (M&S do some great ones or put your own together) or theatre tickets.

I'd love to get into the mind set of middle aged women

Probably wont start thinking about it until next month. I need to be in a Christmas mood to do Christmas shopping and November always feels too early.
