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.

Thankfully I bought nothing today ...but all the stuff I ordered last week started arriving. So much stuff that the postie thanked me for my consideration in starting the shopping early and spreading the load Blush I have no idea where I am going to put it all.

OohKittens · 19/10/2020 22:14

Just ordered three of those dunelm cuddle cushions for the children. Also ordered a bigtrak for s13 because he loves all things retro.

Went real life shopping at M&S. Got some Halloween cakes for next week but also got frozen mince pies and picard goodies for the freezer, as well as bucks fizz marmalade to add to a hamper and pumpkin and honey glaze for tonight's roast carrots!

Quick run into town resulted in:

Skipping rope
Shark tooth excavation set
Giant chocolate coins
Scratch drawing set
Chocolate Santas

This means DS1s stocking is now complete, and DS2s is underway

Sad to not be wandering around Christmas Fairs this year. We have some lovely ones new us. But not this year. So have sourced what I normally get, online:-

Avon Festive Favourite Beauty Set £6
Yogi Christmas Herbal Tea
Littles Christmas flavoured instant coffee
Cute Christmas hand sanitizers
Christmas soap bar
Christmas fudge from a lush shop in Bath (out of stock but waiting to pounce when back in again!)

uncomfortablydumb53 · 20/10/2020 14:14

After waiting for delivery of some items ordered last week
I bought a bottle of Tanqueray Flora de Sevilla for DS2 Girlfriend and a bottle of Captain Morgan Spiced Rum for DS2
Better stop now as my bills go out this week! I treat them all at Christmas as they've all gone on separate paths now and I don't get to see them much.. Which is bittersweet but I'm proud of them all

X2 pairs of PJs, boxer shorts & dressing gown from Tu for DS.

Baby walker, this will be from Santa for the benefit of other kids as baby is 6 months at Christmas so timing works well.

Lyricallie · 20/10/2020 15:47

I love reading all the toys and presents you're buying. Buying for grown ups just isn't as much fun.

Fiance:
Iron Man PS4 VR game with the controllers (absolute pain to get ahold of these controllers so I ended up buying this in July)
Still intend to buy him the PSVR but I think I'll be able to get that second hand from a friend.

DSis
Over sized jumper from Primark

Auntie and Cousin
£10 Yankee candle bundle each (it was packaged so nicely and that's them sorted).

For the house I bought a cute wee Santa statue, he was looking at me so I couldn't not. And fiance got stollen from Lidl today so he's loving life.

UndertheCedartree · 20/10/2020 16:27

I went into Primark. I got a nice selection of things for my niece costing less than £10 - 2 makeup brushes, eyebrow razor and comb, a highlighting powder, handcream, sheet facemask and compact mirror. Went a little bit mad on presents for DD - must not buy anything else not on my list! I got her a Minnie Mouse hoodie and trackie bottoms. A sparkly butterfly top, jeggings and chunky cardigan. A penguin top. A sparkly cat back pack. A lip gloss, stick on nails, Frozen socks, sheet facemask.

When I picked my prescription up in Boots I got a Ted Baker fragrance for my DSIL.
