[ToddlerSAHM]

I’ve got my 2 year old:
A HappyLand Cottage
A HappyLand Tree House
A HappyLand Train Set
A Shape Stack Puzzle
A Clock Shape Sorter Toy
A Velcro Ball Dart Elephant Thing (For his stocking)
A Mini Role Play Fast Food Tray (For his stocking)

I’ve got dp:
A Wine Book
Totes Socks
A Build Your Own Kit

I've got my dad:
A Book

I’ve got my mum:
Totes Socks

I’ve got my friend:
Snow Fairy Showel Gel

We’ve got dps mum:
A Mini Yankee Candle
A Ted Baker Bath Fizzers and Soap Tin

We've got dps brother:
A glow stick cap
A Car Book
A 3D Jigsaw Car

Most of these presents are from Facebook Marketplace, eBay, charity shops and things that were on sale so it’s definitely good to start early when you’re on a budget as all of that has come up to £91 which is so much less than it would have been new!!

Oh , box of Advent Christmas Socks (12 pairs) , bought them in January so I was streets ahead

Perhaps she found the perfect gift. Bit stupid to leave it in case you never see it again. Why wouldn't you just get it there and then when you see it and put it by!?

For DD4:
Spirograph Jr
Snakes & Ladders
Playdough set
Galt magic puzzle
Just remembered I've got to pick up another puzzle I ordered on Vinted
Hair clips and headbands for stocking

I've also picked up an Our Generation dolls that's off my parents

2 x Melissa and Doug Christmas cookie decorating set that I bought on prime day for 2 nephews who are 2.

That's all I have so far. I'm feeling behind this year

My Plan (if plans work ) -

To have all the presents bought by the first week in December then the rest of the month is relaxed . The Dec 1st Box things will be bought by end November .

We've got some booked days out for the weekends so I really don't want to be shopping .

Book a Sainsbury Delivery for all the heavy /pantry/freezer foods .
Trip to Costco in end November

Trip to Waitrose (there's a couple of things I like from there )

Food shop for Christmas Foods with the Nectar Points -to get the nice festive foods and drinks . And as it's Nectar Points it's "free" ( though of course I've spent money to get the points )

I've got a couple of days leave booked before Christmas for a massive tidy up .

Have a look on Black Friday for ideas .
