After going round the shops today I was serisouly tempted to start buying Christmas presents but as I don't have much storage space decided against it it got me thinking
When do you start buying??

Throughout the year. I aim to have it mostly done by November and then I've got a bit of leeway. I try and buy a couple of things each month and track using camelcamelcamel.

Christmas list gets done after DSs end of November birthday, but he's fairly easy to buy for just circle everything in the Smyth's catalogue he's allowed to choose a few things and Santa will choose one or two to bring.

Just about finished.
A child is coming.
Plus I wanted to buy things at pre inflated prices.

Now I am finding supply issues with the final bits, so glad I started months ago.

I started yesterday. Bought something from Tiger for my DC. I tend to buy small bits & pieces throughout the last few months of the year, but I do also ask people if there are any particular things they'd like, so not to just mindlessly get stuff they won't want or don't need.
