So...have you started your Christmas Shopping?

cyclingyorkie

am more organised than ever! Sis and BIL 2 be sorted. His kids sorted..and bits and bobs bought for hampers for DD1 and DD2.

Cards and wrapping paper sorted.

Am buying and putting away books of stamps.

Where do people get the cellophane for wrapping baskets/hampers from?

Ebay seems to be the cheapest place. Around £2.99 for 10metres, obviously it depends on the style you want some are cheaper some are a little more expensive but that seems to be the average price for it

Finished! Finished it all, weddings, birthdays and Christmas for the whole year. And since I kept forgetting to update my spreadsheet I suspect I overbought quite alarmingly, in which case some of next year is also sorted.

Last year I got the bulk of stuff from our charity shops -helped cut the cost down and I picked stuff up through the year.
So this year I'm doing the same, been getting bits and pieces since January and other bits I'm 'concocting' -can hardly call it creating.............lol
Cards are all made and written...............being off line for several weeks I had to fill my time somehow other than the dreaded housework...............lol
Shoe boxes are covered and the spare bed can't be seen for 'stuff' even though most of the boxes are full ! Get the feeling I need some more boxes -have to have a re-count..............I've at least three people with birthdays at Christmas !

Some florists will sell it to you as well, my sister gets hers from a florist and ribbon too.

I've started too :T

Had a little spree yesterday - used up my ELC 20% off voucher (it expires next week) and got some bits for my Son. Also got some other bits for my hampers.

Then I came home and ordered some stuff from Ebay and Play :rolleyes:

I'm pleased though because everything I bought had a certain percentage off it.

OH keeps reminding me its July - he looked very concerned when I asked him if there was any wrapping paper in the loft (I was just curious - I wasn't going to wrap anything... honestly!! :rotfl:)

Next few bits to get on my list are for OH, grandad and mum.

:rudolf: :xmassmile

I updated my Christmas gift list this morning - thanks to the hamper thread I have decided to make a few, so need bits and bobs otherwise I'm done!!!!!:D (Apart from DS1 and DS2 - but I never count them in the list as I shop forever for them - saying that I have nothing on at the moment:eek: for them)

*Vikki*

Have purchased one or two. Determined this year to not let x mas leave me with no money!
