Hopefully there isn't already a thread. I did search.

I still have loads of Jo Malone stuff too (which I got from the grabber game) and will allocate that at a later date
Still lots to buy - 3 small grandsons, DS1, sister, more for DS2 and also my daughters OH
I always aim to finish by the end of November so that I can get everything sorted and wrapped and then sit back and enjoy

This is fun! I'm about 70% done shopping so far!

DM shoes
DSF cologne
DH signed pic from his fave actor, hat, cologne and need a couple stocking fillers
DD books and books so far
SIL1 hairdryer and straighteners
SIL2 making her a massive crochet blanket, SIL1 got one last year and they take me a year to make!! SIL2 GF, framed card with a favourite quote.
MIL - I'm stuck on mil, she likes 'nice ma things' which always feels slightly less personal but will no doubt end up with candle, book, frame or flowers/mixture of all 4.
FIL cycling shorts as requested
DB Xbox game (were buying each other the same thing haha) will get his GF a bottle of plonk,haven't known her that long.
Boss's kids have Lego books (the fat ones with a small set of Lego in, they were on sale in Costco for a tenner.)

Need ideas for colleagues DD, I'm thinking PJ's but want some from wreck it Ralph 2 and haven't seen any yet.
Probably Lego for the same colleague, they have a massive collection.

Need a bottle of plonk for boss and wife, likely wait until Bailey's does its usual £10 1ltr thing.

Will also do a 'big night in' hamper for DF and DSM. They're both notoriously difficult to buy for but love treats and booze so makes sense to do something a bit luxurious.

I need a bit more than I thought haha!

DS2 - is done, he’s got stickman & the dvd of him, some Orchard games, twirlywoos, gruffalo costume, megablocks table & Thomas megablocks sets.

DS1 - gruffalo jumper, orchard games, Thomas storage bag for his trains & about 20 trains/various track for his collection, gruffalo clothes & an amazon kindle for kids. Just need to choose him a costume & keep an eye out for cheap paw patrol.

Due to Black Friday I picked up all of OH’s wishlist by yesterday & just need to get rum & pjs now.

Only my Dad’s M&S vouchers to sort now. Plus two presents for kids but rest are vouchers.
OH does his family.
