Has anyone finished their Chrismas shopping?

Not even started!

Yes such as it is, as I'll be an exile in the sun for the duration.

Just got the niblings their stuff - family have agreed nothing for anyone over 21 unless still at college/uni so that's that sorted.

I did the hosting for many years. Someone else's turn now and I'm off! (we don't have kids ourselves so it's easy to escape).

More or less but it is a double edged sword as I keep buying food!

Yep, got the last presents today.

im not far off to be honest I aim to have it done by the stat of December 🙌

🤣

Are people serious?! It's only the first half of December - I've only just started thinking about ideas for a few people - not even for ideas for everyone let alone started buying! Good gracious!

Haven’t but have a few presents bought, can’t afford not to as had to buy in sales/ as I found stuff before it went back up in price as am on mw!

November even 😁

I've bought the grand total of one thing: fuzzy onesie for ds.

I'm too busy and have no headspace for Christmas.

Oh yes 😂 @Musicaltheatremum you can see how organised my brain is 😂

Finished 2 weeks ago for extended family and wrapped, so just my own DC to get for now and DH. I like to leave that a little later for them to confirm their Santa lists (DC not DH!)

I have a fair amount but hope to be done before Dec as I cba with the Christmas mayhem in the shops
( I do buy online but sometimes I like to see something before I buy it )

Almost! I have a couple of orders to collect tomorrow; and I need to buy a specific necklace for DD, but I’m waiting until Black Friday to see if I can get a discount on that. DH has volunteered to get the rest of DD’s Christmas list this year (I normally do all the present-buying, so I’m going to wait and see how this goes…)

I also need to decide what to get for DH, but I tend to leave that until later in December.

I think I have everything else, just about - including cards, wrap, tags and ribbons from my Christmas stash (I stocked up on these in the sales last year, so I don’t need to buy any more at the moment). Am feeling quite cheerful at the thought of soon having everything done so I can enjoy December a bit more than I usually do!

I start on 1 December or the nearest weekend to that, always have

Not even started to think about what I’ve got to get but I’ve only got two people to buy for so I’ll be able to do it in a day!

I just can’t leave it until December because there’s too much going on and work could get busy and then I’m left panicking. I like to be prepared as early as possible

I usually have by end of October but not this year, life has got in the way.

Got the last present a couple of weeks ago, just gradually buying the food and drinks that i can (obviously nothing fresh)

Just about finished. I have a large family, so it takes a long time to get everything organised and bought.

Haha of course not! I don’t start until mid December 😂

Don’t people worry things can’t be changed if you go too early and they aren’t quite right eg size etc…

Literally not started

Ordered last few bits for DSC this weekend as Black Friday deals have dropped from the retailers I was waiting for, DH stuff from both me and DSC is from a specific shop so I need to book a day off work to go get them.
My Side of the family I’ve already got…. Anyone else on my DH’s side is down to him to organise, so they may get something.. or not.. but it’s not my issue!

I'm almost done. Not too much to get now. Once pay day arrives, I'll be buying the last bits.
