Thread 20 - the one with actual Christmas day

[YuleAreBeingUnREASTIEable]

Sorry, not caught up at all with last thread because of a germy family. I’m figuring this will be the thread with Christmas on though!

No links etc because I’m figuring you know it all now and we’re so nearly there!

Happy Christmas everyone 🎄☃️❄️🎅🏻

For those who missed out on the hampers, Virginia Hayward has up to 50% off theirs with Christmas delivery for orders by 1pm on Monday. I'm tempted to get one for myself as I used to get a big one of these from work every year.

Missed a few threads due to illness, does anyone know if amazon is the cheapest place for airpods right now?

@December25 thank you for the links

Fuck, Fuck, Fuck....

Two empty stocking and hardly any money left. Any and all suggestions welcome for two older teen boys.
Must be small enough to fit in stocking but big enough so I don't need to get lots more items.

Spartonian marshmallows are your friends here. Maybe a magazine although they are remarkably expensive could go for a book instead.

Bottle of Xmas beer
Chocolate orange
Shower gel or deodorant of some type
Magazine is a good idea

FGS I just want to scream at myself. I thought I was done ages ago, I remembered I had one stocking left to go, so did that one.

Just gone and found the others to double check all ok and found the two empty ones, I can't remember why I haven't got them filled and what I was planning on getting for them now.

Going see what I can buy using Amazon Prime and if all else fails, Poundland tomorrow!

I have socks and a hairbrush each so far

Thanks so much for the hamper tip @BonnesVacances - that's a last-minute Christmas present sorted!

Ds has just announced that Santa is bringing him a batman toy, and named a specific set (that is £70). I have finished buying for him and bought batman toys but not that one as he never bloody said he wanted it! I think dh is about to hide my phone to stop me ordering it...
If I did I'd then have to relook at other dc's stuff too.. Just so disappointed that he will be disappointed when I thought I'd got good stuff...

Spartonian I got stocking fillers in Tiger today. If they are teenagers then spare phone chargers probably always handy.

@Spartonian slippers, a power bank, what about an autobiography of someone they like, a sports person or comedian etc?

Socks - Done
Hairbrush - Done
Magazine
Phone charger
Chocolate coins
Beer
Chocolate orange
Lynx - I cant sodding remember (on going joke so has to be done)

That should be enough to fill both

Still feel really really stupid!

Thank you everyone

It's getting to that crazy stress stage now - every year I say will be more organised and keep a notebook right from the off but it never happens and I feel I have gone OTT

Can anyone give me any ideas for a main present for dd who turned 18 6 weeks ago?
She had a laptop for her birthday and the budget is really no more than £50.
I’m kind of stumped this year unusually.

What does she like?

Record player?
Clothes?
Makeup?

@neddle some jewellery?
Magazine subscription
Tickets to an arts event or membership?
New coat?

I think you just need to ask her - or give her the money. Whatever you buy today as a main present is going to be a bit rushed! Or, buy something and keep the receipt!

Would anyone know where I can buy a marshmallow toasting kit on the high street as I can't find one online that can deliver in time?

@mumoftwodc probably Robert Dyas? Or a camping shop? (Mountain warehouse, trespass etc?)

I'm in a panic over everything and nothing!

Sparonian - put a Christmas hat on and put it all down to excitement

Those who did the Waterstones / topcashback deal, did it take long for the £15to show in your account?

I cannot for the life of me get hold of an Xbox gift card today! I need a physical card not a download code and didn't think it would be a problem. So far have tried Sainsburys, Argos, WHSmith and even Boots
