Thinking this thread could be used to post a quick list of what you still need to buy on your Christmas Gift list this year and people can maybe point out or offer any bargains / places / where you could get those items reduced.

Still outstanding for me:

  • Minnie Mouse Jumperoo
  • Jo Malone perfume
  • Amazon Kindle x3
  • A stuffed dog teddy

@LunaLoveFood

I've bought the main present, just waiting for black Friday to finish Christmas shopping.
What's on the Black Friday list? I love reading what bargains others are holding out for to help keep an eye out!

Everything. I haven't even started!
Feeling very unprepared now 😁

I'm cross at myself because last year I was due second baby On Christmas day and was having section week before. I was finished by now, wrapped by end of November,her and buying cheese and chocolate December.m it was brilliant!
This year I've done my children and not much else! I've not wrapped and I just don't have any motivation or energy.

Nothing, I was done months ago 😁

I will still buy things but they will be extras, usually novelty bits I may see when I'm out. But I don't have to stress about getting anything specific now.

ByeBumpHiBaby · 18/11/2021 14:50

I've ordered one gift for DD (a Hatchimals Crystal Flyer) and got one gift for DSD (Mickey Mouse waffle maker).

That's all! Need inspiration for family members so will keep checking back here @Newdad19 Smile

Also got a new baby, will buy a few bits for him for his older sisters benefit mostly, maybe some clothes in the next size up and some books. Perhaps a Jumperoo to put away for next year when he'll be big enough.

CoffeeChocolateWine · 18/11/2021 14:51

I need to get some whisky and nice whisky glasses for DH
Something smallish for my Dad (main part of gift is shared with DM and that’s sorted.)
Photo calendars for my parents and PIL.
Sweet hampers x3 for DC (I need to make them up)

IncompleteSenten · 18/11/2021 14:55

Nope. I haven't even thought about it. It hasn't felt like Christmas is even close if that makes sense

maddy68 · 18/11/2021 14:57

All of them?? It's November?

MrsFoxyplease · 18/11/2021 15:00

LED strip lights
2x Chromebook cases
Fidget-style putty etc for teens
Make-up box
Desktop pinball machine
Candyfloss maker

Ivalueloyaltyaboveallelse · 18/11/2021 15:08

@ Newdad19 yes all signed up for notifications, fingers crossed we can get one.
Teachers presents I was thinking of doing a little hamper of candles, wine, chocolates and stationery.

Nearlyadoctor · 18/11/2021 15:08

I’m waiting on one small gift that hasn’t arrived yet ( on Pre order) then I’m done. I’ve got a couple of days annual leave at the beginning of next month so hope to wrap then . I’m then looking forward to December picking up nice bits of food etc and watching Christmas films.

Fevertree · 18/11/2021 15:10

I need an idea for dh
Switch for dd, also an infinity loop, a colour changing t-shirt and a tie dye kit and maybe a tracksuit.
Stocking fillers
I also need ideas for dm, df, dbro2& sil, dbro1, nan &grandad!
Teachers &school staff
Colleagues
Phew!

TheGirlWhoLived · 18/11/2021 15:12

@Newdad19 I think it’s a great thread, don’t know why people are coming on to say all of them. I’m assuming you aren’t the REAL Santa and therefore can’t help that much with nothing to go on Grin

I’m just short of something for my dad… everyone else is bought but haven’t started wrapping… trying to get the 9mo old to nap on his own Angry ideally present is beer based but under £20, I’ve already got him a pork scratching sort of set which is why some beer would top it off nicely!

girlmom21 · 18/11/2021 15:15

I've only got DP left to buy for. He wants some clothes and he's fussy so I'm not allowed to buy anything without approval - which does my absolute fruit in!

I would like to get him a small surprise but I'm on a tight budget this year.

I went on maternity leave in august so saved for Christmas before that and I've done really well to stay within budget but DP and I have agreed a £100 limit this year so any surprises would take me outside of that.
I do have a little bit of room for movement but can't think of anything small he'd like!

HenryPotter · 18/11/2021 15:16

I’m waiting for Black Friday to come round to get most of the remaining presents.

HenryPotter · 18/11/2021 15:17

If you have things left to do, make a list and then from Mon next week start checking online for Black Friday deals. They get earlier every year.

mafted · 18/11/2021 15:20

Loads!
I've only bought a couple of stocking fillers for DC, for two DNs, and my parents and DH's Gran.
I need to buy main gifts for all four DC, 7 more DNs, all mine and DH's siblings, DC's boyfriend and girlfriend, in-laws gifts, something for DH.
Also have two December birthdays to buy for.

Peanut82 · 18/11/2021 15:21

Need to buy for my parents and DP. Need a couple more presents for the kids then I'm pretty much done, just wrapping to do and Christmas Eve boxes to sort

I don't know what you normally do for your Christmas Eve boxes but home bargains had loads of cute things the other day.
Pinetreesfall · 18/11/2021 15:24

Christmas shopping gets done from December pay. About 3 days before Christmas Day!
I wish I was able to start sooner!

PandaP0p · 18/11/2021 15:24

@maddy68 so why are you posting in the CHRISTMAS topic then? A board reserved for those who - generally - life Christmas

Sorry op that you've had such bizarre responses from some posters

As for me, nearly done... I just need ..

A 40 inch smart tv. As it's just for a bedroom, I'd like it as cheap as possible

PolytheneRam · 18/11/2021 15:25

The vast majority of them

EKGEMS · 18/11/2021 15:34

A few gift cards, radio for my son, dvds and cds for him and maybe some clothes
