Have you started Xmas shopping yet?

I have, I know, I know - I don't like the way ppl are gearing up for xmas months before but I hate shopping when the shops are totally packed from mid December onwards...but then that means I have to start shopping early so I can avoid the crowds....but then that adds to the early Christmassyness of the shops, aaargh! So really the shops force us to shop early!





And I've been buying stuff on eBay and online shops, cos you have to buy it at least 3 weeks b4 Xmas to guarantee it'll be there in time what with unreliable royal mail etc.

Have you started Xmas shopping yet?
I've done all mine mostly (1st time ever coz I'm usually a last minute person!) all I've got to get is some vouchers and a box of chocolates and I'm done!
Reply:Started and finished. Ive got enough to think about at xmas without the hassle of shopping too.





Kids xmas concerts, then kids off school and having to re-arrange shofts at work to cover childminding, having to work extra, parties, after-work drinks with management, Sorting out all the xmas food shop, I dont get the time I need to do it all so i shop for xmas through the year, a lot less stress, plus it makes it easier on the purse.
Reply:Technically finished this morning when I 'won' two items on Ebay. Just have to wait for them to arrive.
Reply:Done it all apart from hubbys.
Reply:Started in September.
Reply:started end of august and have bought for everyone except my parnter, I wait til the best stuff comes out in December until I buy for him
Reply:Yes, I have. On a different topic, it really irritates me to see the word Xmas. That is like crossing the Christ out of Christmas . Originally, we were supposed to celebrate his birthday then but everyone has turned it into a materialistic holiday. Just something to think about.
Reply:no
Reply:i have finished! woo hoo. all my presents are bought and wrapped so I'm ready. bought my Xmas cards today too. i nearly passed out when i got to the till though £41.67 for cards! i wouldn't mind but i know they get thrown away a couple of weeks after. next year its box cards (10 for £1) definitely!
Reply:I am getting my hubby a Fresh Air (to eliminate his stinkyness) and a LaundryPure (so when he does laundry, it actually will get clean!)

Reply:Started today! Late night shopping after work, not too busy out yet. All put in cupboard, will not wrap or write cards til december.
Reply:Yes, I have. I'm running out of storage space.
Reply:I am starting tomorrow when I get paid! Otherwise I don't get paid until just before Xmas and it will be to late because everything will have sold out and the queues and amount of people will be manic.
Reply:Yup, I started around two weeks ago and I'm almost done. I work in a mall so it's easier for me, I guess.
Reply:yeah i started like last week. only got a few things left to get really. only reason i started early is so i have enough cash for xmas and new year for the pub and that.
Reply:Wow, sounds like you are busy. I always do my shopping in the last minute. I know, it's bad but I am very busy.............doing nothing most of the times.
Reply:Yup, I started!
Reply:I started mine in June!!!
