Christmas Shopping?

[Aimee_C]

Have people started there Christmas Shopping yet, or are you like me and haven't bought a thing yet.

Dad came home today and was telling me its 7 weeks till Christmas - not much shopping time for me really. I have loads of stuff to get - and have to drag the little brother out with me aswell.

Is anyone organised? I say i will get organised every year - then never do lol

[Kelly]

I started ages ago but don't have a lot. I've given up now for a few weeks because I can't be bothered!

[Missvtr]

Well, i'm still saving for a few things..I promised my parents something for christmas this year so it's housework from there on to earn something and then go shopping.

But i bet this year i end up with the lamest gifts on earth :upset:

Nevermind:P

[DevilDamo]

I will not be starting until at least two weeks before the big day :-) Haha!

This year I might look into internet/online shopping as it has proved to be the next big thing.

[Aimee_C]

You never know - you might get something you never thought you would.

I know what i am getting the boyfriend which i need to put money aside for - as for everyone else - i dont even know what to get them - so thats probs why i havent been shopping yet.

What would you do though - if your stuff didnt arrive that you ordered? Could be a bad idea that, dont you think?

[Danr]

Ill just give my rents a hug ha ha ha.

Im just going to pop around to the shops and buy some random pressies when ever i get the time!

[Aimee_C]

Most people i know have everything they want - and when you ask they they say they dont want or need anything - its a circle. Very annoying aswell.

[DevilDamo]

Then those companies would be in the sh*t. Many people are doing it that way this year... There'd obviously be deadlines as to when you can order things. I'd pay other people to do my shopping and bring it to me than going from shop to shop bumping into other stressed shoppers.

[Missvtr]

The thing i hate about shopping for christmas are the queues :rage: ..You wait for minutes on end for something petty like a ring or a shirt or something
Drives me insane!

[noxtioN]

Im nearly done, online is the best way!

You can hire - Personal Shoppers you know.

I take it your not one for shopping.

Last year i went to the Trafford centre - Weekend before christmas was expected to be the busiest weekend of the year - i went and it was dead. was well impressed i managed to buy loads of stuff - got it all done in one afternoon - thinking of doing it again this year - buts its finding the time around work etc.

Queues are ridiculous - even in the large department stores aswell - where they have loads of tills.

I'm coming round to the idea of the online shopping way. Espesh from shops i know i cant get to.

[amy_1]

I can't actually believe how organised i have been. i only have about 4 presents to buy now. this is highly unusual for me!

[goat_janine]

I havent bought a thing!

[Aimee_C]

I am going to have to next year - i really am - i get in a mess otherwise.

[goat_janine]

I really should start thinking about getting some stuff for people. Im terrible at christmas!

[DevilDamo]

Haha! You guessed correctly... I'm ok shopping but only when I know what I want.

[Missvtr]

I haven't brought a thing neither...I'm still saving for mine...or working :)

off topic completely but your bro is funny, knock on your door, "its my brother" comes running to the door to find me with a few wash mits lol!

[Luke]

Sorry to bump this back up peeps but I just spent £115 on Christmas shopping online in the space of 10 minutes.

£20 on CDs for Girlfriend
£35 on a 'naughty' bag for her
£50 on Vouchers for my Grandparents
£10 on a DVD for my Dad

I'm nearly finished my xmas shopping now. Just have to get girlfriend 2 more things, Mum a couple more bits and some wrapping paper. I feel so much better now it's out the way.

[Hannah]

im sooo poor! pound shop prezzie for friends and family! lol

i do the same aimee, im gonna have to start buying in like oct time next year! lol

[Luke]

I started when I got paid at the end of September (I think). I got most of them now, it's much better if you start early and now I can relax.

[Natalie]

I haven't bought a thing. I'm still saving what little I get from my part time job.

[Aimee_C]

I really need to get started, ordering the Fiancee's on pay day - least that will be most of his out the way. Brother has ideas for Mum and Dad - as for everyone else - its going to be rather simple to get hopefully. Plus Trafford Centre has everything i want - one day shopping and its all under one roof.
