What have you purchased today for Christmas?

[ysmaem]

Now that we're well on the way to Christmas I thought we could share what we've purchased in preparation for the big day!

I love writing down what I've bought to keep my mind organized and I also reading what everyone else has bought too for ideas and inspiration.

Today I've bought
Festive cutlery holders
Kids festive pyjamas
Personalised cheese board for my step dad
80 Xmas cards for the kids to give to their class mates
And I also found a festive decorated pouch of dog treats for our dog (doesn't go out of date until Feb 2020 either 😊)in my local supermarket this morning!

Oh, also Mr Kipling Irish Crème fancies, but I have just realised they are short-dated, so we may have to eat them sooner, shame...

Some lovely glass baubles and a box of gold bells from TK Maxx. Almost extended to some sparkly red bowls and cake stand for pre dinner nibbles!

Jelly babies, a floating turd game and festive friends biscuits.

A light up rattan snowman- Dunelm Mill
A traditional Santa- Dunelm Mill
Socks/men's boxers- Sportsdirect

Various bits for my mum, 3Xdiffusers, Yankee plugins, perfume, hand cream.

Going to an actual shop on Saturday (most of my Christmas shopping has been done online)to pick up remaining bits and that will be us totally done, aside from some more sweet/treat stuff and the big food shop nearer the time. All I need to get Saturday is more wrapping paper/some gift boxes/more gift bags. I've a few more things to get for my mum and I need to get a dressing up rail for one of my niece's, just haven't decided on which one yet but I'm more or less done minus these few bits.

For my grandma, I'm have bought a puzzle specifically designed for seniors. Easy to differentiate/bold colors, pieces designed to be easy to hold by people with arthritis, etc. p.

My 72 yr grandpa asked me for a new planner. I ordered this smart one for $20 onplanners.com/notebooks/best-notebooks-for-designers He is love to write short life stories or notes everyday

Lots and lots of gin!

A pair of Christmas pyjamas for each of my 3 boys, books for their stockings and some
Christmas gin baubles which will probably be for me!
Have also bought eldest son's main present which is a pair of Nike trainers.

Novelty and personalised bits (The Works and Etsy) for first of December boxes for youngest nieces/nephews.

The last of the wrapping/gift bags etc.

Lego (Toy Story) for my nephew and a handbag from Monsoon for one of my little nieces: To be honest they definitely didn't need more presents but they were both on offer so I threw caution to the wind.

It's really just my mum I need to finish now and the rest of the sweet/treat stuff.

Today I bought 5 advent calenders for

1. Teen DD
2. Grandson
3. Grandaughter
4. Two dogs

Christmas stamps!

Christmas novelty bath bombs from Lush
Christmas slipper socks John Lewis
Hot chocolate spoons
Headphones for DS2

Toy sonic hedgehog
Body shop men's face wash and bath foam (DS1)
Chocolate Brussel sprouts
Choc coins

Oh and aftershave for DS1. I'm getting there now! I feel twitched if stockings aren't fully underway by now. I have those reoccurring dreams that it's Christmas Eve and I still haven't done any Christmas shopping.

Ooh can I join?

Today I have bought

For ds
PS4 controller
2 PS4 games

For sister in law and mother in law
2 mini food gift sets

I was supposed to have been finished but today (tonight actually) I have ordered the most amazing personalised crayons on Etsy, they are little cubes with letters spelling out whichever name(s) you want and only £2 regardless of how many letters in the name(s) and free postage.

I've also bought one of my niece's an outfit from Gap but only because I had 40% off but other than the food shop nearer the time and some more sweets/treats I am definitely buying nothing else, well I need to finish my mum off too.

Reduced Halloween sweets from M&S for my nephew and nieces. They are quarter of the full price, and the kids are of the age that they like ghosts, magic and spooky, so they'd prefer a bag of eyeballs to chocolate coins!

Today I bought GSD straighteners for teen, a scuttlebug for GD and a Little People Farm for GS.

A hairdryer, jeans, suede jacket and dressing table for teen FC.

Also some stocking fillers for them all.

Plus a teddy, tug rope, 4 pack of tennis balls and Some treats for the dogs.
