Done all mine. Make a list and do it all in one hit. Stocking fillers are pretty easy, you can pick things up in the supermarket? Get everyone else vouchers of wine.

Bluntness100 · 20/12/2017 17:08

How many have you still to buy for?

I've done mine sorry.

Thumbcat · 20/12/2017 17:12

Me! I'm very behind as we've just moved house. I need to get my arse in gear this weekend.

Well, I've done one big Amazon shop, and sent it all to my mother. I land in the UK on Friday. So will get to see it all then, and decide if anything needs adding to the list of "stuff to be brought back in the suitcases" shopping.
So, I've not seen a single present, and most certainly haven't wrapped anything!

CurlyhairedAssassin · 20/12/2017 17:18

no need to panic at all, there are these things called shops, you see.

Days left tillxmas yet. Don’t fall for all the advertising hype. For years people have been doing all their Xmas shopping at this point in December. No-one has died. The only reason to worry is if someone youneed to buy for has asked for something very specific and there is a chance it could be sold out.

Don’t worry!

Make a list and go do all in one hit, maybe treat yourself to coffee and cake once you ate done. I did that on monday, literally didn't stop but all done now.

Stocking fillers head to tiger, Poundworld and reserve little blind bags from argos. Grab some chocolate and a bag of satsumas and your sorted!

Kikisxmas · 20/12/2017 18:56

I've got quite a bit left to do op. My plan is to go tomorrow afternoon and just get it all done with a few coffee stops to keep me going.

Dailystuck71 · 20/12/2017 18:58

All done bar the food shop here. Loads of time left but write a list and be organised.

No need to panic.
Make a list of every person you need to buy for and how much you want to spend on each.
Then decide who would appreciate cash or vouchers and cross them off.
Amazon prime is still doing next day delivery, if you don't have that ask around, maybe a friend would order for you, or take out a trial.
If you do need to hit the shops, I would go early in the day and plan your route around the town with military precision. Don't get distracted and start browsing.
Don't forget wrapping paper and sellotape.
Finally, do what the poster above said and treat yourself!

Have it all to do, planning on to do on Saturday and Sunday 😳

BubblegumFactory · 20/12/2017 19:31

Still got stuff to buy, my problem is my head is spinning a bit with it all...
Need to make a proper list and just go and do it but am very tired and wondering when I’m going to do the food shop, wrap presents etc.
On the other hand, I always feel a bit like this and it all seems to get done!

Boynamedsue · 20/12/2017 19:38

I'm done smug face but many a year I've done almost all of my shopping after work on Christmas eve and it all worked out OK so don't worry OP, there's still four more shopping days, loads of time.

MummaTwinkleToes · 20/12/2017 19:40

OP I just started my xmas shopping today! Extremely behind and hitting the OH SHIT what am I going to do phase. Good luck!

Rotorevolution · 20/12/2017 19:46

Thanks for the advice! I’m packing dh and the kids off to the cinema Saturday morning whilst i do stocking fillers. Will make a list for everyone else. I don’t know where it’s all gone wrong this year!

JesusInTheCabbageVan · 21/12/2017 18:57

All done, all wrapped, food shop done. Grin I came on here to be smug, sorry. If it makes you feel better though, I am currently generating my own bodyweight in snot every 10 minutes or so.

Rotorevolution · 24/12/2017 11:28

I think I’m finally done now. Just the wrapping to do! 😱
