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've bought/downloaded a Christmas Advent activity calendar from Etsy - it's got daily lockdown activities to keep the kids busy (while I can sit back with a cheeky glass of wine! Grin), so I'm defo looking forward to advent 2020!
Here's the one I was looking at:

Nothing today so far.
I'm making the list of things I still have to get and it's looking like:

2 craft sets for niece and nephew
Merch hoody for dd
waffle maker for dd's b'day
L'Occitante stuff for dh

I'm researching it all now and will order later or tomororw morning and I'm pretty much done then apart from the food shopping !

SpamIAm · 25/11/2020 14:11

Two jumpers for DH, and DD chose a present for her brother and her friend. I also bought a Frozen mashem ball thing but that got spotted and opened before we'd even left the car park.

Looking for the right over door wreath hanger. Surprisingly difficult to find!

Not brought as such but have sent the in-laws presents off.

A Lego millenium falcon for DS1 (did my big Smyths click'n'collect order today). Its the £140 one NOT the £600+ plus one Grin.

If anyone remembers the 'Should I buy a Satisfyer Pro 2 or a sandwich toaster?' thread on AIBU, I showed it to DH and told him I want both. Judging by things he's said since I'm getting at least one of them...

WeAllHaveWings · 25/11/2020 22:49

North face jacket /hoodie/t-shirts
Some more t-shirts for ds

He had sprouted in last couple of months, is 6ft 2in and now in adult sizes this year and the prices are eye watering.

Let’s hope it’s the right one...😉 although he’d be mad not to get you both!

MummBraTheEverLeaking · 27/11/2020 10:18

A talking forky (for a gift), mickey tree ornament - to bring the total up so I'd get a Christmas Mickey Mouse for £12.50 from the Disney Shop for DD who's currently Mickey mad. They'd sold out the other week so I've been checking every day and they're back so I pounced Grin

I need to get a gift from DD to DH, nothing major as we've spent quite a bit on each other already this year so we're doing stocking filler gifts.

Only DM to go, then DHs family who do a secret santa but the draw hasn't been done yet.

caperplips · 27/11/2020 10:53

I think I'm really done now!
I just ordered some 'Don't hug me I'm scared' merch for teen dd from Redbubble and got a good Black Friday discount. She will be really delighted.

Just a few last very small things for stocking now for my parents and I'm 100% done. I can't believe it and think I will stick to this from now on. It's not even December and it's all sorted!

HollyandIvyandallthingsYule · 27/11/2020 11:06

Tool wrap x 2, army surplus from Russia.

Isn’t it great? A lot of people pooh-pooh it but when everything’s done before December it leaves you the whole month free to really enjoy the build up and Christmas ‘hygge’, stress and hassle free.

Just beware the twitch! Xmas Smile

I8toys · 27/11/2020 11:41

Nothing from Black Friday because its rubbish. Flowers for mums birthday 24th Dec, sleep shorts for ds 1, calendars for Mum and Dad and In laws, cat food subscription on Amazon

Baileyscoffeeandcampfires · 27/11/2020 13:10

Keep thinking I'm done but then the Xmas bargains thread and Quidco emails lead me astray

Yesterday we booked a 4 night break at a national trust cottage when I only clicked on their shop link as they had free delivery

Today - an os map for the above break, hot chocolate from hotel chocolate and a case of wine from laithwaites as was too much of a bargain to list - all presents for Dh and I Blush

Baileyscoffeeandcampfires · 27/11/2020 13:11

Oh and delivery of pies to Dh dad as his Xmas present from pies by post
