Does your DH or DP do the Christmas Shopping

[gscrym]

Mine doesn't, except for what he buys me. I get the 'you're better at it than me' or 'you know I don't like shopping when it's busy'. If I don't give him a list of exactly what to get, where to get it and a handful of vouchers (how much??? he cries), he doesn't do it.

I have to give him ideas of what to get me. He does come up with some ideas for DS. The other classic is if people ask him what to get DS. His standard reply is 'oh I'm not sure, you'll need to ask my wife'.

We do it together. But we're really decisive on what we're getting people, from where so it doesn't take us too long

Usually my Mum looks after our 2 dd's and we go shopping for their presents together.

My dh now works shifts and is on a day off tomorrow so has offered to go and get both dd's main presents and some stocking fillers.

no -but he pays for it

You're so lucky. Even the site of the Boots gift guide makes DH break out in a cold sweat.

yes THE CATALOGUES OF DISASTER
dh lights the fire with them.

No

DH is a terrible shopper, he looks like this after about 10 minutes.

DH1 and i shop together although he is really good at getting things and will do so by himself.
My new DP hates shopping of any sort so if you cant get it from amazon then its a non starter, in fact apart from getting his mum something (last minuet on the way to get the train home for christmas before he and i were living together) he does not "do" christmas gifts, oh i think he is in for a shock this year

ROFL, to thread title. I have to give him specific direx to buy my pressie, else he comes up with the most horrid ideas.

Ah, 2 b fair, he gets his mum's and brother's pressies.

Dear God NO! And to be honest, mankind is probably the better for it.

We do it together. He spends more time looking at gift catalogues than I do - he looooves christmas

Dh buys for his side of the family and I buy for my side. We both decide what to buy ds1&2 (and dd this year) and one of us will go out to get it. Sometimes it's easier for dh to fetch them in his lunch hour and sometimes it's easier for me to go while dh looks after our 3 children.

He does his own, I do my own.

done all mine on net (hate shopping)
now only have bits to get my boys
52 presents this year and all paid for and put away
i buy dh wraps

dmo I read that as
I buy wraps for dh (nappy wraps?)

was v confused for a mo

no i buy (presents) he wraps (presents)

same with ironing i love ironing dont like putting it away so dh puts away

and he puts food shopping away too (takes me 20mins to order it off asda net )

dh buy for his family and I mine best way to do it imo as he knows what they like more than I do

got it...silly me.
dh wraps ours as well and puts shopping away.
couldn't let him put stuff in drawers though, no sirree

Mine buys a few of the children's presents - we have 4 - but overall I buy the rest - cards, gift wrap etc. Actually I think I'll get him to help me wrap them all this year; it always takes longer than I think it will (or is that just me?)
