Andy Posted September 10, 2010 Report Share Posted September 10, 2010 If I know what I want to get for someone then I get it early. . . if not then after my DEC pay, I go out and "see what I can find" Argos. . . the clueless Xmas shoppers best friend . . .

Kaje Posted September 10, 2010 Report Share Posted September 10, 2010 I know this is absolutely 100% stark raving mad, but I actually sort of enjoy shopping on those frantic last couple of weeks lbefore the big day. All the decorations, the Christmas tunes being played in the malls, the hussel and bussel (no idea how to spell that ) It's just part of the Christmas experience to me. =) However, I do try to get all the big stuff out of the way well before hand. It's a lot less stressful just shopping for stocking stuffers in a crowded mall then for video games, clothes and furniture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jayt Posted September 10, 2010 Report Share Posted September 10, 2010 I buy whenever I get a good idea. Since we will be married, I now only have to buy half the presents. They come from "The Thibodeau's" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rosemary Posted September 10, 2010 Report Share Posted September 10, 2010 My daughter and I do our big shop end September, but if I see something during the year I will buy it. I also buy stocking fillers at craft markets during the year. My husband gives me a strict budget in September so anything I can get during the year is a bonus :lol: :lol: he is actually quite clueless when it comes to these things.

Kroush Posted September 10, 2010 Report Share Posted September 10, 2010 I always buy antiques for my mother, so I look all year and whenever a nice one pops up I nab it for her. Last year I got her a family bible from 1800, the year before I got her one of the first teddy bears ever made. For my surrogate mum I usually make something, I've given her two tiger drawings, a masquerade mask and an abstract painting. I usually get my brother a console game, so I get that in August-November before the prices bolt up.. Hubby never gets me anything so I stopped getting him stuff. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sabresmum Posted September 10, 2010 Report Share Posted September 10, 2010 I usually try and start with my September pay as have so many to buy for and so many birthdays in November/December I can't afford to do it all last minute, plus the kids always want really expensive pressies like new mobiles or a ds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
