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.

Brace yourself for the excitement: a dustpan and brush.
Rock and roll just can't compete.

After pulling out my stash for my little boy last night and deciding that enough was enough and I had finished buying.... I went and bought the Playmobil police headquarters today, that we probably didn’t need but hey ho!

Yesterday bought some window decorations, mugs from B&M (the cutest little elf mug for the little one), a snow man soap dispenser.

We had a brand new Primark open in town today so took my little one (8) for a look round. I got her some glittery boots, a hat with cat ears, a pink fluffy jumper with a polar bear on and a couple of pairs of warm leggings. Also went into Clintons and got some Yankee candles - a Christmas morning punch candle for my DP's mum and Suprise Snowfall for us plus a couple of votives - Crackling woodfire and Spiced orange.

Blimey I’ve hardly started yet! There’s some fantastic Christmas stuff where I work & I get a really generous discount so after next payday I’m going in! I tend to pick bits & pieces up through the year then forget where I’ve put them! Already got a snood & an Avon cross body bag for one of my SIL’s & a Harry Potter kit for DD ( Make Your Own Doddy from Aldi). Picked up a few bits in the Boots post Christmas sale, including an English Heritage tea tidy set for DM & a couple more Harry Potter things. I have a magazine subscription to Woman & Home & the Christmas issue has inspired me & depressed me in equal measure!

Dinosauratemydaffodils · 18/10/2020 16:41

Just ordered some outdoor furniture for the Witch's (doll) house and a baby bed/unit thing for dd from Aldi.
Bought some chocolate marzipan for my mum and some walnut whips for dh which probably won't last till Christmas.

everythingisginandroses · 18/10/2020 17:53

After saying I wouldn't, I have ordered a Costco gift box for our nephew (who no longer bothers with us, but that's another story Xmas Hmm) - wine, crisps, nuts, chocolates, shortbread, good value and one less item for me to post.
