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And I also found a festive decorated pouch of dog treats for our dog (doesn't go out of date until Feb 2020 either 😊)in my local supermarket this morning!

There’s a jellycat ant? How cool.

Bathrobes for my two sons with their family nicknames embroidered on the back.

A bottle of Barolo wine for my husband

FthisS · 20/11/2019 20:20

@Stealthsquiggle yes he is so fluffy and cute (also on tk maxx online just search jellycat).

Stealthsquiggle · 20/11/2019 20:22

I looked. Is your mosquito the jellycat one too?

Stealthsquiggle · 20/11/2019 20:46

@FthisS you either just cost me £21 or saved me £26, depending on how you look at it. Obscure jellycat animals (not insects) procured for the DC. Last years were a tapir and an anteater Grin

FthisS · 20/11/2019 20:55

@Stealthsquiggle Grin yes the mosquito is jellycat too, they had a velvet jellycat hammer head shark last week.

Socks for my brother in law and a coffee pod machine for my son, with coffee pods to go with it.

BarbedBloom · 21/11/2019 22:18

I can finally contribute Grin

Path tracking robot for my nephew (it follows a path you draw in marker pen).
Olivia Blake orange blossom and ginger body wash for MIL
Poker set, Calkin Klein boxers and socks for my DH.
This works sleep set for my mum.
Jo Malone dupe candle.

Not bad for £47. Most from TK Maxx. Thank goodness I have finally bought some stuff.

Chocrock · 21/11/2019 23:57

5 personalised tins of quality street Grin

Erm.... nothing!

It is just another day, and money is in the cards rather than tat presents that take up time to figure out what to buy!

I am sure we will not starve either. Such a lot of Christmas angst.

But it seems to be receding somewhat this year thankfully and hopefully.

One day. Remember!

Three slush puppie cups and bottles of syrup (grape, cherry, cream soda, tropical, apple, blue raspberry).

weaselwords · 22/11/2019 06:36

CKIN2U and a wildlife camera in the Black Friday sale. Fragrance for eldest and the camera for husband.

Still got to think of something for the brother in law who has everything and my dad who wants nothing.
