... so have you started your Christmas shopping yet?

Have you got people who are difficult to buy for and need to start looking early?

Are you a good prezzie buyer or do you take the "it'll do" approach?

I don't send cards or buy pressies, instead I have a Christmas party in August, tree lights turkey, and invite family and friends, this year had a BBQ

I've not started yet but I only need to buy for my parents.

Christmas isn't really happening for our family this year so it's all going to be very quiet and understated.

I need to get my move over with before I think about gifts.

I am quite a good gift buyer though. I put a lot of thought into it.

I always start mine after my birthday at the end of November, to me that is being well organised as I always used to be one of those leaving it til Christmas eve running around like a headless chicken! Lol

I got a few yesterday at Meadowhell. That's me done. I always ask what people want, can't be arsed traipsing round like a zombie looking for what people 'might like'.

They tell me, I get it online, job done.

I'm a man who actually enjoys shopping so Christmas shopping is a great time of year for me. I started last week and plan it like a military operation,nothing left to chance and no last minute panic buys from me.

My family and close friends always compliment me on my choice of presents,so it makes it all worthwhile and satisfying for me.

Started over a month ago with placing the order for Christmas cards.

Also started to buy non-perishable gifts such as biscuits, chocolate and wine etc...

I like to think I'm quite thoughtful but also welcome people's wish list to make things easier!

I've started buying and wrapped what I've bought thus far. Still need to buy for my sister's 75 children. Ok there aren't quite 75, there are 3

In the past few years when I've been a student and not had the foresight to save some of the money I got in December for Christmas shopping, it's been a very tricky and fairly last minute job! I think last year I ended up borrowing some money from my dad which I paid back when I got my January installment.

Determined to be better at things this year and I have already got a few small presents for my children and I know what I am getting one of them for her main present (microscope).

Problem is it is hard enough to think what to get them myself then I have everyone else asking what to get for them!
