Yep - planning and started my shopping!!!

Got my step daughter all sorted already (Bracelet from Debenhams in the sale, Spa gift set - Boots sale, Cocktail set - sale at Whittards!!)

Got some bits from Body Shop thanks to this site - for mum and sister.

Got lots of bits for hampers already.

Hubby is away next week so going to do some cross stitch xmas cards.

DS2 - the baby is pretty much sorted after we got lots of stuff last year and in the toy sales this year . He will be 3 in Dec so will be old enough for most of them now.

Am going to get DD a digital camera - so just need to look for a good deal.

Saving High Street Vouchers through work - so will help nearer the time.

Quite chuffed with myself!!! :j

There are other christmas threads on here that have been up for ages - have a read around! - that you should read, i found them very useful for ideas!

i've had a box of christmas presents for a while now. we're also planning on giving a few people handmade pressie's this year which i have started on (kind of).

no plans made for where we'll spend christmas day yet though. can't believe how close it is though.

yay x

Yah, i am glad to see i am not the only one who is thinking about christmas 2009 :j

Due to the credit crunch i have started thinking about christmas very early this year ( i normally dont start christmas shopping til oct/nov) but with lots of presents to buy, a huge family with relatives in many countries and having to watch the pennies, i am always checking out sales online/instore to pick up some bargins.

My husband and i dont really have any traditions but we do like christmas at home alone together, we see family on 23rd, 24th, 26th etc.

I just want to make sure that i buy presents for my niece/nephews and any friends children first, they are my main priority, then i will think about buying presents for close family members.

I guess this year i will have a bit of a credit crunch christmas, but i dont think this is a bad thing as i the past i have been guilty of spending far too much on "festive" things that we dont need/use.

Great thread there are several floating around about gettting organised for xmas, I myself am slowly getting there!

I have the nephews pressies up in the loft as i picked them up in the boots Jan Sale & have bought a few things from next/ m&s sale too! Also I am off to the states in few weeks so plan on getting a few bits whilst out there as my cousin will take be to this massive xmas clearance shop!! I'll be in 7th heaven!

Well i have few things squirreled away. I am trying to cut down on what i buy this year. I normally buy things in the sale but this year there has not been much about. I have bought some things for the kids stockings and my mum and dads present. I was just thinking i need to get a move on with things,this was just the boost i needed.
