I'm pretty much done now. But I still need...
Something for DH - but goodness only knows what as he's difficult to buy for.
A few little bits (calendar, singing teddy, chocolate teacakes) for my MIL
Some gloves and a scarf for her sister.
4 x £10 in cards for my nieces and nephews.

And I'm going to take the kids to a local craft place and get them to make something personalised for their nana and grandad. Maybe their Grandma too.

And then I'm done.
Have picked up loads of the extra bits I needed today as I had aimed to get as much done as possible by the end of November.

Just need to wrap it all now.

I need to get some bits for dh (havn't got a clue what to get him though).
Something for my mum (to go with the calander i have made her).
Something for my nan and grandad (maybe a small hamper).
And something small for my dad.

Done all the easy ones (kids), i hate buying for adults.

All of dh's presents - am planning a day shopping in the city the week before Christmas for this purpose.

Something for my friend's mum, know more or less what I'm getting though.

Voucher type gifts for my mum and dad.

Possibly a board game for the dc to play Christmas Day.

Am thinking of getting little presents for the collection of randoms we now have coming for Christmas dinner but not sure if that's a bit ott. Confused

I am almost all done!
Just need something for my Nan and her birthday (just after CHristmas) and SIL's birthday (another Christmas b'day), then teachers presents only.

Phew.

No wrapping done as of yet, will doubtless still be wrapping at 11pm on Christmas Eve, feels so wrong to wrap before last minute Grin

I have got stuff for family in new Zealand.

Everyone else can wait for the pre christmas sales like last year. Or the post christmas sales depending on when I might see them. I can't be arsed to launch into a shopping frenzy.

pjs for DD1 as Twatco won't let me open an account and exchange vouchers.

something for DSIL, BIL and their very bright 9yo DS.

(no DH won't sort this, presents buying is my job, wrapping is his)

lots of odd bits and pieces.

and I need DD1 to help with DHs god daughter who happens to be her BF as I haven't a clue.

I thought I was done but realised this evening that I haven't got anything for the BiL. Ideas would be appreciated.... What do you get a 42 yr old who lives in the bush in Botswana?

Bits for ds2, everything for dd and ds1, don't get paid again until the 10th and haven't really decided what to get them yet.

Don't think the money will stretch to anyone else.

Work secret santa person


I still need to buy for:
Stepdad
