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.

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!

Buying presents is such a pain in the ass, no-one ever tells me what they want.
