I do have other ideas of what I will buy but haven't bought yet. My DDs have a tendency to change throw some last minute curveballs or completely change their mind so I tend to hold off buying their main presents till December...learnt from experience!

That's it.

You have "brought" this stuff. You've "bought" it

I've bought a small imitation pre lit Christmas tree for the dining room and got rid of the old larger one, put it on Freecycle and it was snapped up and a lovely imitation wreath for the front door.

Both items will last years hopefully.

You mean "bought", surely?

@GettingStuffed, what is the vintage bird book please? My Dad might like it 😊

Not very much as DS is flipping flopping over his choices!

A children's atlas
Stocking bits - bubble bath, sleep mask, Christmas socks....

we are keeping it low key this year... im working christmas day and boxing day, and we have booked and paid for a weekend at centre parc in june next year for the entire family as their main present.

we are having our christmas day on christmas eve. we only buy a token for the GC as they are little, and we will put some cash in the bank accounts we have set up for them.

the adults kids are getting a 'token' each, nothing more than 20 or 30 pounds, and i've been collecting things all year, if i've seen something i think they will like i will pick it up.

Does it matter? I think people (except you perhaps) understand what the op means.

Mini Jellycat Bunny for 18yr GD and a cheque (hope she'll take bunny to uni, if not, I'll look after him 😁)
Always do stocking for daughter - this year M&S silk pillowcase, fragrance gift set (a request), Sainsbury's socks (the best, apparently), earrings from Oliver Bonas, empty olive oil bottle with pourer (she loved drizzling flavoured oil on pizzas this summer - must buy chilli flakes, etc). She's hard to buy for as can afford stuff when she wants it. Will get Dior nail polish and chocs.
Nothing for OH, he doesn't really do presents or celebrating (miserable old git 🙄)

Very little so far. Dc1 isn't sure what he wants and dc2 wants the entirety of the Smyths catalogue.

I have bought some christmas decorations for dc2's dolls house (lights, candles, a wreath etc).
A book on diving the Britannic for dc1.
A wooden Christmas baking set for my Goddaughter's little girl

I tend to panic and buy things and then allocate them to people (so many of my adult kids and their partners have the same interests). So I've got
A neck fan
A boot dryer
Some books on gardening and herbs
Framed photographs from our summer holiday this year
Photo printers which print photos from your phone
A sun catcher (this is for a friend who saw one when we were out and loved it)
A couple of lovely fluffy throws

I'm going to do a food hamper for my foodie son this year again, because he's asked for one. I made him one last year and he and his partner really enjoyed discovering some new flavours (I found some really obscure foods!)

New iphones and cases for ds1 and ds 2
Tshirts, aftershave for ds1
Rituals gift sets for mum, auntie and work colleagues
Arran aromatics after the rain stuff for mum - diffuser and candle and perfume

Stocking for cat
Biscuits and toy for dog
Nothing for dh, dad or in laws yet
M&S chocolate advent calendars

My adult sister and her new husband moved house tthisbyear so I’ve bought them a personalised dormat, it’s arrived and it’s really nice.

My niece (20) I’ve bought her a stone Borg phone bag from New Look.

My cousin who is leopard print mad I’ve bought her a leopard print hat from New Look.

Me & H only get token stuff from each other/the kids.

It's always ok though so I am not going to stress out.

And that's it so far.

Yes, it does matter. Words are important and it's basic English. OP means bought (buy), not brought (bring). We all make mistakes and that's fine, but no need to pretend it doesn't matter.
