No holiday in October half term as we usually do has meant I've started shopping so much earlier. I will admit I spend a lot on my children. We have no family/friends so buy for nobody else.
Hopefully we can get ideas from each other.

I just went to Sainsburys to spend my double up voucher.

I got an LOL cheerleader doll
Cosy socks
Face cream and hand cream
Enid Blyton Christmas stories (which I can't wait to read with my daughter, I used to love Enid Blyton)
A book for my mom.
Liquid soap in a Christmas Tree shaped dispenser (I'm putting this away with my Snowman and Snowdog loo roll)
A tablet (5x Nectar points at Argos at the moment)
Gift bags
Christmas cards
An Elf on the Shelf drinks bottle with a bendy straw.

In Bargain Buys, they had candy apple scented mini antibac hand gel with Christmas designs on, I now regret not buying it!

Can I join in please?

Today I’ve ordered a football kit for my DS using the Nike member day discount and picked up a battery operated manicure set and pedicure set from Aldi as stocking fillers for my teen DD - reduced to £1.50 each!

pinkksugarmouse · 11/11/2020 12:14

So much for not buying anything today but they are Slippers and not Christmas presents so I am justifying it. 😂
DH and I have to have one of permanently at home (not such a problem right now) to take deliveries.
I haven't even bought that much I just did it all in one go.

TheCrow · 11/11/2020 12:20

@batleyTownswomensGuild I got my boyfriend these goose socks last year because we live UGG too, they make a great stocking filler

My Christmas cake that’s another job done, a shirt for dh, so really happy, end of November I’ll do the f and m stuff and the Wilco stuff for in-laws.

Holothane · 12/11/2020 16:13

For a bit of fun a fake carrot and mince pie for Santa’s plate, I know we’re adults but we’re having the fun of Christmas and magic we had in our childhood.

OohKittens · 12/11/2020 21:28

Pop vinyl little shop of horrors which is s7 favourite film. He has asked for a jacket like the dentist (not real leather we are vegan) but I can't find one, if anyone knows of anywhere I would definitely appreciate it.

Dh choose a coat from burton so he’s sorted now as i am regarding presents from dh hopefully no chav wear from parents.

UndertheCedartree · 12/11/2020 22:02

I went into Wilkos today and bought selection boxes, chocolate coins, Kinder Father Christmases, Christmas cat treats, a few white Christmas tree decorations, Lynx deodorant and shower gel for DS. Also toiletry bags to go in the bags we make up for the homeless for Christmas - I got shower gel, toothpaste, toothbrush, handcream and lip balm to go in them.

Then in M&S I got some frozen pastries to keep for Christmas day breakfast and a bottle of Bucks Fizz to go with them. Also Christmas Percys and Colins, chocolate coated honeycomb, mincemeat, aftershave for DS, a candle and reed diffuser in Christmasy scents.

Smarties87 · 12/11/2020 22:11

I ordered 2 'mush on a cush' pillows. They are in a shape of a head and I picked the absolute worst pictures of my DS's faces to go them. On the reverse reads ...'you'll never escape my face'. Hoping it'll get a laugh on Christmas morning Wink

Which grabber toy did you buy?
Holothane · 12/11/2020 22:16

Those burrito blankets look brilliant but where’s yours from I found some for about £13.

try depop or ebay !
RickOShay · 13/11/2020 08:47

@Justyou, the groupon one. It does look good. Around £22 with postage.
I think I was shafted over the burrito blanket tbh. It was £26, for an adult sized one.

TheCrow · 13/11/2020 16:41

Doisy and dam chocolates for my vegan friend thanks to a code from here 🙂
Christmas Eve pyjamas for DD

Holothane · 13/11/2020 17:28
