I've started and got a few bits already. I'm going, again on Friday to get a few more bits.
I don't even like Christmas. It's better than leaving it to the last minute and then getting stressed. Please, it's easier on the pockets, spreading out the cost.

This is how I do it and it's worked for years.
Work out how many presents you need
Go out and buy that many presents
On the way home from the shops pop in for a coffee with the most mothering person you know
Ask if they mind you wrapping your gifts
Whist wrapping gifts make it look so painful that they take over and watch
As the gifts are being wrapped decide who to give it to

"I used to do that, but this year I've planned in advance and done the toys r us lay away plan."
Tof be honest my daughter doesn't come into this method this is foreally everyone else. I enjoy shopping for her she is 4 so her toys mentally stimulate me as much as her lol |

I spend £60 at xmas (unless I'm attached) as my family consists of my parents and sister and we do a £20 cap on gifts. We each have a wishlist on Amazon or similar and choose from there. It works for us. |
