I'm allowed, it's the Christmas thread :) also due Christmas baby and few complications

I have to buy for my parents, siblings (two), one year old and new baby, dh

Cut out friends presents, so don't have those at Christmas. Just SIL.

I've bought dh a few clothes - I will get him toiletries and something else ??

Parents - bought my mum a large piece of costume jewellery - need to get inspiration. Dad - meal voucher possibly

New baby- cloud baby and few nursery CDs

(In laws - dh sorts out but we do a hamper for his mother too but will get it nearer the time)

Love this thread. I've got both sets of parents, my brothers, DH'S sisters and their partners, my niece and nephews, DH and my DD to buy for. Also hoping to make some home made goodies for aunties and cousins. I have already bought several things for the kiddies that I found in the sale. DH is making DD a wooden shop for Christmas. Our families tend to go present crazy for DD so we try and just get DD one nice, 'big' present every year from Santa. We will get her a few little accessories for the shop that I will wrap up separately and she will have a little stocking. She will be 3 1/2 this year so will be even more aware of what is going on. We try and make Christmas about more than just presents, we work full time so really try to spend as much time as possible doing family things. We've booked to see Cinderella on Christmas eve and we do a Christmas eve family hamper with new pj's for all of us and a cookie making kit.I can't wait for the bargain threads start so that I can start planning presents for other people. I love to try and get as much as I can for as little spend as possible!

I need to buy for:

-my parents
-our two kids
-my husband
-my SIL
-my brother and other SIL
-some kind of package for the daycare staff

.....possibly my inlaws - the norms around gifts for my DH's family are very confusing Confused

Oh - and I am not buying ANYTHING till fall this year. Last year I bought all year and ended up spending more and getting too much as I changed my mind about what I wanted to get for the kids everytime I ran into something else of interest!
