I know it's only just October.. but I have a lot to buy. I've started already & am so stressed out. Trying to think what to get, spending hours online, send for stuff & the doorbell's going all the time, then the wrapping, OMG, the WRAPPING.. my back's hurting, there's paper, sellotape & scissors everywhere, nowhere to put anything, mostly stuffed in a huge cardboard box in the lounge.
Remembering to pop receipts in, as there's always SOMEONE who wants to return gifts, the expense of posting everything as it gets nearer the time.. it seems to get more taxing every year.
Anyone else? Please say it's not just me..

Have massively scaled down now dcs and niblings are adults. Only buy for one sibling as she and I are close,the others get and send cards. No parents to buy for. Don't do neighbours or friends( reciprocated). No grandkids.
Just dh and 3 adult dcs who are happy with money or vouchers. Its great. Much less stress and waste.
