Really sorry to those people who are hacked off with all things Christmassy 
:D
I thought perhaps we could have a thread where we share ideas of what we are getting and for who, it might provide some inspiration for others.
So far I have got my best friend and her finance a giant multi picture photo frame, they are forever taking pictures but don't have many on display.
One of the little presents I am getting for my Dad is a chilli plant, its from Sainsburys and is in a small silver bucket.
Merry Christmas
:)

I'm getting my secret santa person a set from superdrug, not sure exactly what, but something from here http://www.superdrug.com/gifts-offers/gifts-under-+16310/icat/giftunder10/
And not xmas, but it's best friend's 19th in January, and she made someone a personalised bracelet as a thank you a while ago, and was saying how she'd love if someone did that for her (she wasn't hinting though, this was in the summer
That bracelet sounds lovely
Sister- Nigella Lawson's cookbook and some stuff from Lush
Everyone else me and her share the price with so she can choose. I constantly worry people will hate what I choose them.
Oh, I just realised I have to buy things for my gf's family too don't I? Oh shit, more pressure.
How long have you been with your girlfriend? Does it have to be a major pressie or just a "token" gift, ie tin of biscuits/bottle of wine job?
2 years. So I guess bottle of wine, some shortbread and flowers would do. The brother I could get guitar plectrums or something
Roll the animal in glitter, garnish with some talc and lipstick and then attach a funny saying (flat mate, size zero, gutted!)
if my in-laws kick off about this again this year, well, they can F right off the ungrateful sods
grrrr
That's ok, I feel really really sorry for all those who have so little going on in their lives that they have to start rattling on about christmas when we are only half way through november.:)

I am still struggling for my son though as he'll be 18 as well and need ideas for stocking filelrs if anyone can help. He liked footie but we have exhausted all the footie presents over the years! Any ideas would really be appreciated....:)
To be fair, I have more than enough fulfilment in my life thanks, I just enjoy doing the shopping first so I can relax and enjoy December for baking, decorations and making the most of it for my two little boys. I hope you don't mind.

I need ideas or my dad & his wife. They are the only problem for me. 2 people in their 60's that aren't poor & have everything they want!?
Any advice gratefully received...
What a ridiculous post. Some people aren't so flush with money that they can wait until the 24th december to buy presents, let alone the fact they might be visiting those people in early december & handing their present over then.
Nothing to do with having so little going on in their lives!
p.s there is a clue in the title about what the threads about, do like the rest of us, & dont venture into a thread if you're a mardy get & the topic riles you
Do you have a budget? Maybe an "experience" gift like hot air balloon ride? Or wine tasting?
I dont think they would go for the hot air balloon thing, but maybe wine tesing. Not sure though, my dad is more a bacardi or lager bloke?
I love that site, I bouht stockng fillers for the kids last year & this year from there. They arrived within 2 days! I spent 40 quid on there this year & have about 8 or 9 things each for them to open. Quality site.
I'm the same. I can't cope with the pressure of having to buy presents really close to christmas. I get too panicked and can never make any decisions!
I've bought most of the presents I need to. Only have my dad and one of my brothers to buy for... my brother's a difficult one to buy for, but I know vaguely what I'm getting my dad (just have to find the right bottle of wine for his cellar!).
Did you get the remote control, tarantula off Hawkins bazarre? I saw one on there lol
