Yes i have started buying bits and pieces for family when i have seen them on offer and putting them away so its not all at once in December!
Oh my goodness, NO I haven’t started my Christmas shopping and I am due a baby in 2 weeks time!!!! I am cursing myself for not being organised haha! Never mind I will do most of my Christmas shopping online. My family are pretty easy to shop for, My daughter is getting a new bike, clothes and a few little toys. The rest of my family will get some perfume/aftershave chocs!
I’ve almost finished, just got a few kids presents still to buy. The only person I struggle to buy for is my dad. He seems to have everything lol x
Yes, I started a month or so ago to spread the cost!
I started in September I like to buy a few each month from now till December
I have started months ago and some are already wrapped ready to be posted to relatives
Yeah I started during the kids summer holidays. I think I’ve got everyone almost covered. I like to have all presents bought before December lol x
I start in January 🙂 I pretty much have them all nearly now.
I have only just started shopping in the last couple of days, only got a few small bits so far. Still thinking about what to get everyone
I start buying in September as I have so much to get.
I haven’t started my Christmas Shopping yet, I’m a late shopper, always wait til December, especially if I’m not buying a lot!
I haven’t started Christmas shopping yet, but I have been getting some ideas and putting a list together.

I have bought a few bits and pieces for Christmas but not present shopping yet. I have no idea what to buy the family this year but they usually provide me with a wishlist so I won’t worry yet.
I have not started yet. I have not got a clue what to get. I am going to the Festive Gift Fair at the NEC in a couple of weeks and I am hoping it will give me inspiration.
I’ve almost finished, just need to get something for my in-laws!
I’ve started buying stocking fillers for my grandson. I’m buying my son a dashcam and my daughter in law drawing materials as she loves to draw.
Thanks for a lovely competition
I’ve started with the basics pj’s, cards and wrapping paper but lots more to get, some of the people I buy for are more awkward than others
Bought my first few gifts yesterday
I’m doing pretty well, I’d say I’ve got the bulk of it sorted
Yes i have made a start, a couple of competition wins of candles have been put away and a few toys that I have seen that will be for my great grandson
I have usually started by now but this year has just flown by and I haven’t had a chance to start. I have some ideas of what to get my kids but no idea what to get for my husband
I have started but am struggling to know what to get some of the adult family members

I haven’t started shopping yet and don’t know yet what I will buy anyone. Hopefully I will have some inspiration soon 😂
Yes I have. I have bought my parents a theatre ticket and bought some games for my children.

I have started … but haven’t got very far. My kids Xmas list is way too long…
God no dint want to think about it just yet but dont really have many to buy for.
I am going to buy my mum a local artist print, my dad items to do with Space, my friends all get personalised beauty boxes made up for them & Evie will get some clothes & wooden toys. My God-Daughter Lego. There’s a few children’s gifts I still need to buy for which I’m unsure about yet.
I started last week – only little bits and bobs for the little ones and a jumper each for my mum and dad
