I'm wracking my brain trying to remember who I might have forgotten, but there's bound to be a neighbour or two that I haven't thought of.

None! But then I am a mean old scrooge who only buys for close family and a few friend's children.

Neighbours and friends I don't see that often get homemade gift, this year its fudge or Christmas biscotti... if I really thought it necessary to have a spare gift I'd by 342 shortbread tins... that way if not needed wont be wasted!!

In saying that tho, I do have an extensive present drawer for kids thanks to Boots 75% off and 342 a month or so back!!!

I never used to but thanks to the bargain thread I now have a huge present drawer for random people :)

I just misread kiwidreamer post and thought she bought 342 tins of shortbread and thought that was a little excessive Grin.

I don't get spare presents as I just buy for family but I probably buy too much for them Grin

No spares. All planned for. Buy for family (extended) only, cards for neighbours.

Lol kiwi dreamer, I wondered what you needed 3 hundred and 42 tins of shortbread for a while there...
