I dont mean your food shopping, but your present shopping. I only have a couple of bits to pick up and then I can relax. I've surprised myself though to be honest. Only started in October, picking bits up here and there. I'm usually so far behind, but not this year 😊

I haven’t even started! 😧

ShesTheAlbatross · 01/12/2025 09:46

Just need to do stockings for DDs but they’re 3&6 so fairly easy. Then I’m done!

hiredandsqueak · 01/12/2025 09:54

Yes I've done now too, last couple of orders coming this week.

CharlotteCChapel · 01/12/2025 09:57

No but we only have 2 of the adult children's to go.

YorkieTheRabbit · 01/12/2025 09:59

I ordered the last of the presents yesterday, just need to get book and that’s me done Smile

Nincompoo · 01/12/2025 10:03

Barely started it

CeeJay81 · 01/12/2025 10:09

Yep, finished apart from a couple of boxes of chocs. Done a fair bit of wrapping too. So pretty organised this year 😁

mondaytosunday · 01/12/2025 10:26

I finished the shopping but not the making! I crochet and my DD wants a quite complicated (not in terms of stitches, but construction) poncho, plus a scarf and hat, choosing mohair which is very thin and makes my hand ache! Do slow going there. My son is getting a throw in his footie team colours. I am soooo behind!

Just need to pic up some chocolate for DDs stocking and then done.

Not started on the kids wrapping yet though.

Whatwouldnanado · 01/12/2025 10:33

Yes just need to buy two vouchers, a bottle of wine and stocking chocolate and we’re done. Don’t want the latter in the house too soon because it’ll be eaten! I have our meat in the freezer and look forward to cooking and freezing some bits next week. Nice to get ahead because it spreads the cost and means a nice relaxed December enjoying various events with the family.

Zempy · 01/12/2025 10:41

All done and wrapped 😇

AhBiscuits · 01/12/2025 11:19

Nearly there, just picking up a few more little bits. Over 10 days both my children have birthdays and Christmas is in the middle of them. We tend to buy a big pile of presents and then decide how we're going to split it between their birthdays and Christmas just before.

Mikart · 01/12/2025 11:21

Finished 6 weeks ago . I only buy for 2 adults but they've each got about 10 gifts. All wrapped. I dont go near a shop in December although to be fair I bought everything online

namechange3651 · 01/12/2025 11:22

I’m done, in theory. Though every year I end up making it to December, feeling like I’m done, and picking up a load of extra things I find at Christmas markets and the like.

YouBelongWithMe · 01/12/2025 11:23

I have to pick up toothbrushes and chocolate coins for stockings, but otherwise done. We only buy for our own kids though.

Belladog1 · 01/12/2025 11:24

I finished this weekend. I now need to wrap everything!! Which reminds me, I forgot to order the gift tags

PinkPepperPolka · 01/12/2025 11:25

We have 12 here for Christmas. I've got all the main presents apart from the one for my father in law. Stockings are pretty much finished too.

TeenToTwenties · 01/12/2025 11:25

Yes, done enough. May buy a bit more if I think of things. Going to wrap this week whilst DD is at college.
I'm not normally this organised, but also helping my DPs sort Christmas too so I want to be forward.

RaraRachael · 01/12/2025 11:39

I ordered my last two things this morning. From about October onwards I buy a few things each month to spread the cost.

MiddleAgedDread · 01/12/2025 11:43

phantomofthepopera · 01/12/2025 09:42

I haven’t even started! 😧

Nor me and don’t have a clue what I’m buying anyone!!

Allthings · 01/12/2025 12:10

Zempy · 01/12/2025 10:41

All done and wrapped 😇

And me.

Fontet · 01/12/2025 12:17

Haven’t even started....no tree or decorations up, can't even think about it all. EXHAUSTING!

DancingInTheMoonlights · 01/12/2025 12:24

I finished the last bits this weekend, it’s the first time I’ve ever been finished this early. I don’t even have my decorations up yet - it feels strange to be honest.

Hedjwitch · 01/12/2025 12:26

All done and wrapped. Haven't done the tree yet though

Iknowdino · 01/12/2025 12:30

I'm having second hand stress for those that haven't started! Think I'm done now. Just trying not to overdo buy crap now in a panic!! Do need to get some chocolates for stocking but not sure if I'm going to bother this year or not.
